• The Water Will Not Quench Their Thirst

My brothers, they're all dead
Something surely served to make them ill
They carried off towards the stream one day, to gather broth for the meal
Though no one heard a word from them, as the horror had soon to be revealed
As I ran towards the water, I saw their bodies lifeless lying there
Their cheeks were flushed, their eyes were pale, their bodies weak and bare

Tears soon left my eyes as I stared into the dawn
I cursed the four Gods of old, why so soon have they gone?
As the sun illuminated the water, I could see it glowing bright
It's crystal blue essence had evaporated with the night
I saw the foul poisons dumped from that structure up above
How could such a radiant architecture spew such spiteful sludge?
This stream is our life
Without it, we will surely die

I spoke to the elders, in the crystal palace high
They threw my words over shoulder and considered them to be lies
In the days ahead, several scouts were sent off to the stream
Yet none of them ever returned, assuring me that this was no dream
Magicians and alchemists were called to level off this curse
Though their words and potions failed, as the effects kept growing worse

In the days that followed after, my people suffered from the drought
Some of them ran into the stream, though never came back out
We elves are stubborn people, so we continued to press on
Yet I knew deep inside myself, that we hadn't very long

The water will not quench their thirst
As they wretch with frozen looks of fear
The water will not quench their thirst
As our genocide looms ever near
The water will not quench their thirst
As this majesty slowly disappears

The water will not quench their thirst
As the venom falls into the stream
The water will not quench their thirst
As they gasp and choke in this foul dream
The water will not quench their thirst
As the Gods were nowhere to be seen

As I writhe here all alone, the last of my kind
The stream has taken all of them, yet I fear I'm going blind
These last words that I inscribe will surely fade to dust
But with my last breath, I'll curse that iron beast
The whore that never rusts
