On tattered wing of memory Came the pallid Ghosts of Autumn, Those solemn gaunt's of Autumn Swept swiftly in to chill the day, Their faces long and glum And coats long and gray. Down to take the valleys Czardom Claiming night and claiming day Rode the gaunt, gray Ghosts of Autumn.
Those thrones were overtaken From the sundered Summer Devils, The lordly Devil's of Summer. And we have not mistaken We who live in the lands of Almer Know the cost of war is taken From father, son and daughter. As we await the return of the forsaken Crimson Devil's of Summer.
For soon will come the chilling Ancient Kings of Winter Those savage Kings of Winter And no blood will thus be spilling As our logs turns to cinder, As the Kings will then be killing For vanity and splendor, The shades of Fall will they be conquering Those ageless, Kings of winter.
And from the Gaunt's essence Shall rise the Maids of Spring, Evergreen and supple Maids of Spring. To pass the Winter King's defense, Sans iron and thunder, these lovely things Will woo and exhaust their frozen senses Then silence and ****** the Winter Kings. And Almer lands will grant happy commends To the glorious Maids of Spring.
Yet these are but forethought's; Soft now approach the Ghosts of Autumn Those mild, soulful and solemn Beautiful wraith's of Autumn. Soon Almer shall be sought By Kings, Maid's, and the Devil's Ransom Our hearts shall ever be owned, but ne'er bought And we will pay our lords so handsome. For now our land shall be rendered and wrought By those gray gaunt Ghosts of Autumn.
