An_Ode_to_L_Manburg

[00:00.49] It all started on a day like any other

[00:03.95] All the salmon had swum to the sea

[00:07.67] When my lover she darted away down the stream

[00:11.94] With the heart that she'd taken from me

[00:23.36] And my chest, though it ached, there was hope

[00:27.35] A little beacon of light

[00:31.34] Though my sunniest days are now stolen away

[00:35.07] I still had our son by my side

[00:39.04] And as he looked up at me with those wondering eyes

[00:42.49] I just knew that I must protect him with my life

[00:46.74] And make a land that is good and a land that is free

[00:50.46] For the better of you and of me

[00:54.45] We'll build these walls with our own fair hands

[00:58.43] Through the wind and the rain and the snow

[01:02.15] And I swear on my life that I'll stay by your side

[01:06.14] Through whatever the world has to throw

[01:17.87] So I summoned my men to my side

[01:21.85] And we sung a familiar tune

[01:25.57] As a final goodbye with our fists to the sky

[01:29.56] To our past as we started anew

[01:33.54] We built these walls with our own fair hands

[01:37.52] Through the wind and the rain and the snow

[01:40.98] And we swore that we'd keep an unwavering faith

[01:45.23] To the land that we'd carved for a home

[02:24.54] Oh the thought of the day set our country aflame

[02:28.52] As the sun rose bloody and true

[02:32.25] Arrows burned through the skies as we swallowed our cry

[02:36.49] And we ran with our backs to the moon

[02:39.94] To our demise

[02:43.94] From a friend full of lies

[02:54.83] Oh the break of the day shed its light

[02:59.61] On our hearts left battered and bruised

[03:05.20] All the hopes that we'd laid on the home that we'd made

[03:10.26] Torn to peices and left in the blue

[03:15.59] But my friend with an angry cry

[03:20.64] Held the weight of our world at his side

[03:25.69] Took a trembling stand with an arrow in hand

[03:30.99] As he muttered a final goodbye
