The Song of Ardan

My heart was a falcon,
seared in dragon's song,
scorched Namira's bonds,
burned realm, land and wand.

See its bane,
in the mirror's silver,
and my heart blazes upon.

My heart was the daughter,
taken as pawn bland,
taken by Mephala,
flattered her with his white sand.

See her bones,
in the mirror silver,
and my heart blazes upon.

My heart was the daughter,
seared by dragon's calls,
her light cast a shadow,
on Lôrn's arcane walls,
See her light,
in the mirror silver,
and my heart blazes upon.

The Tomb of the King

In silver's light, in mirror's face,
I know of Ardan's rest,
licked by dragon's blaze,
has veiled in shadow's haze,
Ruun's ruler stashed his crest.

Three keys I know, their names I 'vade,
unveiling Ardan's rest,
one in blood it's stained,
one in Lôrn remained,
last left upfront his bequest,
Led by his girls, with words of sweet,
some touched the mirror's chest,
unlocked the seals,
with keys all three,
found at Ardan's side their rest.

As in silver's light, below the mirror's face,
licked by dragon's blaze,
veiled in shadow's haze,
with Ardan, his curse still rests.

Ardan's Hymn

The last of the king,
Ardan by name,
lead by false gods,
his girls has he lost.

The girls of the king,
Ardan by name,
Mephala prayed Nanya,
Nuun dragonborn preyed.

The rest of the king,
Ardan by name,
Mephala kissed Nanya,
Nuun dragonborn flames.

The rest of the king,
Ardan by name,
there where shadows veil,
no man break the seal,
or be kissed by the shadows,
drowned in Nuun's vale of tears.
