The Kings

The Kings of Haense were mighty men
And fearsome was their crown
They fought for Prophet Sigismon
And put the schism down

Their palace walls were scarlet hued
Their roads were crimson red
And red the banner that they flew
And red the blood they shed.

They reigned amidst the ice and snow
Where cold and hard their hearts had grown
Until a flame on temple mount
Had called their monarch to account

༻⊰────────────⊱༺

The Kings of Oren reigned supreme
And set their splendid throne
Oe'r mount and plain and sea and stream
And cities, church and home

Their citadel was white as death
They powdered wig and face
They spent their vast collected wealth
To hide their inner place

They kept their darkness close concealed
Till rays of providence revealed
No gilding mortal kind can make
Could form authentic gold from fake
