Eluria[08.07.00] » by Michael Collins We lived in a kingdom of gold Beneath a starry sky Where no clouds ever blocked Our view of the gracious moon. A peaceful king we had For a peaceful kingdom A prosperous land, Eluria. 'Twas never touched by war— 'Till one dark night Beheld a fright Of awesome might A scarlet light! This light did strike Our highest tower With unearthly speed It fell. Our King was there When the meteor struck His very throne Alas, he was once alive— 'Till one dark night Beheld a fright Of awesome might A scarlet light! We tried to move the boulder But no one would go near it The bravest soldiers Cowards before it. The rock gave an eerie glow That spread across the land The people could not escape But they might have been free— 'Till one dark night Beheld a fright Of awesome might A scarlet light! Slowly we began to change Growing fangs where once were teeth Growing tails and horns Growing wings and taking flight Oh, what law had we broken To deserve such a fate? For once we were beautiful Once we were happy— 'Till one dark night Beheld a fright Of awesome might A scarlet light! |
