Danced the sacred rites
Ancient drums doth tremble
On my quest for thine smile
Four lonely wrens cried
Ancient drums doth tremble
Beat ceremony and call
Four lonely wrens cried
To tell all that war was naught
Beat ceremony and call
For the treaty hath been signed
To tell all that war was naught
After tearing flesh from spirit
For the treaty hath been signed
Now we can embrace
After tearing flesh from spirit
But he flees my hands
Now we can embrace
After tears floweth fast
But he flees my hands
Needing time to mend
After tears floweth fast
He walked the forest lone
Needing time to mend
He sought my care and love
He walked the forest lone
Collapsing in mine arms
He sought my care and love
For he'd seen so many dire days
Collapsing in mine arms
Wept that he saw his brother die
For he'd seen so many dire days
Tears flooded mine shoulders
Wept that he saw his brother die
Min tears mingled with his
Tears flooded mine shoulders
Held fast not to part
Mine tears mingled with his
Unhurriedly sobs slow
Held fast not to part
Gazing with eyes aglow
