song A song of Dwarven Value; Through Belka's Eyes

[Jason of the North 202]

Bojakk Frostbeard, once again upon his father's request, posts a song to the halls of Urguan's Tavern, to the remembrancers, and hands out various copies to passers by.

Through Belka's Eyes

Spoiler

[Original:

[Lyrics:Ajax & Bojakk Frostbeard]

 

A single pearl in the Grand king's throne
Though it's glossy gleam does shine
Can never know it's purpose
In the mason's grand design

And the stone that sits on the very top

Of the mountain's mighty face
Will only be as grand in worth
as the stones that form the base!

 

So how can you know what a dwarf is worth,
is it gold or family ties?
You can never see your true value as a mortal
You must look at your life
Look at your life through Belka's eyes.

 

Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai
La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai
La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

 

The hordes of gold in the holme,
is less than what a warm meal brings
And to a lost beardling a simple dwarf
is greater than all the umri kings.

 

If a dwarf were to lose all he owns
does he not yet have value still?
You should know that it is,
His greatest treasure is his will!

 

So how do you measure the worth of a dwarf
in steel or strength or mind?
In how much he mined or how many he's slain?
The answer will come
Will come to those who relies
looking upon his life through belka's eyes

 

And that is why the clan shares all we have with you
Though there's much to go around
For if we were to have nothing
we'd give you what was found!
No life can escape the tide
of woe and wheel and chance
And even if you have two left feet
You must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance

 

Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai
La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai
La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai
Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

 

So how do you judge what a dwarf is worth
By what he crafts or buys?
You can never see with your eyes below
Look through Belka's Eyes!
Look at your life
Look at your life
Look at your life through belka's eyes!
