song A new Song; Bones in the Tomb

[Jason of the North 202]

Ajax Frostbeard, once again posts a song upon the door of the tavern, though not as enthusiastic to make copies for the rememberancers given its dower tones.

Bones in the Tomb

[Lyrics: Ajax Frostbeard]

 

 

Oh I bid farewell to the holme that i've known
and down to the planes of Oren I've flown.
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
To search for the land I hear all soldiers end

 

As the spirits of dead fill the space of my mind
I march without stopping 'til peace I can find
I fear not the weather, for I'm dwedmari.
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
When their bones in the tomb forever shall be.

 

I drive forth through the night once again
to a place where my hope died along with my friend
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
To find promise of peace, and honor in rest.

 

As the songs of my brothers fill the space of my ears
Their laughter like beardlings, their beckoning cheers
My heart longs for solace, but where can it be?
I remember the elders, do they think of me?
When their bones in the tomb forever shall be.

 

When at last before oren wolves I do stand.
I shed a small tear, only sword bore in hand.
Ghosts of my brothers, who've faced struggle and strife.
Their smiles beyond say I don't owe them my life.

 

As the soul of the dead in my memory do drive
The pack of wolve charge forth, set to eat me alive
I'm this far from dinner, this close to see,
My dear departed brothers, do they think of me?
When my bones in the Tomb, forever shall be.

 

Now that I'm staring down death's dark abyss..
I'm not sure what I want, but I know it's not this.
As my comrades call out to hold Fast and strike on
With a roar I drive my blade forth, 'til the darkness has gone.

 

As the souls of the dead live for'er in my mind
As I live the centuries that they left me behind
I'll stay in the holme but still gaze out to see
The souls of my brothers, and care for me.
For our souls to the forge forever shall be.

 

I see my brothers, and they care for me...
For our souls to the forge, forever shall be.
