{ B } Song of the Dead

Transcribed from early writings of Arul Kef Appid by magistress Ariry von Torfin. The orgin of the song as well as the language in which it was sang remains unknown. What follows is the modern translation of an incomplete manuscript damaged during the "Fire of one thousand days."

The song is most often attributed to the Rose of the Everooth and sometimes cited as part of the burial rites.

In the morning mist,

In the evening breeze,

In the forest shade,

In the meadow moss,

O lonely soul hear my song

Come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

Through the darkness of night

Through the pain of endless day

O lost soul hear my song

Come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

Starved and pained

Scorched and banned

Beaten and bashed

O tortured soul feel the melody and waver no more

Come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

O troubled soul bask in the light

Leave thy misery behind in thy husk

Straighten your ways

Abandon your sin

Come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

O pitiful soul barred from death

Hear my song

Come to the light

Dry your tears

Open your eyes

Follow my voice

Shed rotting skin

Feel the warmth

Let the world go

Come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

Seeking to sate the hunger that burns

Yearning for that what no longer is yours

Crying in vain at merciless stars

O broken soul come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

Round and around

Your days are spun

Time have lost you forever

O timeless soul come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

Alone in despair

Locked in cruel fate

Neither asleep nor wide awake

O dreamer come to the light

Shed rotting skin

Free the one trapped within

Chasing the veil

You cannot pass

You are not free

O soul imprisoned come to the light

Come bask in warmth it beholds

Calm your mind

Steady your heart

Strengthen your will

You are not far from home

You are not far from home

Shed rotting skin

For you are not far from home

For you are not far from home

For you are not far from home
