Songs of courage
battle hymns and chants
Songs of defiance
echo in fortresses of stone
Wards woven in secret
to give the walls their strength
Lattices of power placed over the hearth
to keep it sound

But his misstep
led to the fall, and
his Ill-written runes
brought the towers down,
his world broke
in fire,  ruin ,pain and rage

There were no songs of safety
as the wards shattered that day,
for his arrogance and pride
the price had been paid
So The Hooded King wept
at the passing of an age.
