Alone by the fire, a warrior I knew

Told me this tale, and I pray it is true.


From the Polyargos coast our dragon-ship came

To fight for good Halidar on Pash Valley plains

My sword I had lent seeking honor and fame

Or Odin's great hall in the fray


We charged into battle, the sun beating high

Our battle-horns sounding a victory nigh

Our spears crossed their arrows like hawks in the sky

Leaving many men dead on the way


Sing me no songs of angels I pray

For a rajamalan found me in battle that day


The battle was long and the sun was like fire

The heat drove us down like a funeral pyre

Though many I'd slain, now my bloodlust did tire

Struck down by the heat of the day


The battle moved onward from where I was laid

I drew of my helmet to rest in the shade

When a soft even tread, like the wind in a glade

Brought a daughter of Mhaldor my way


Sing me no songs of angels I pray

For a rajamalan found me in battle that day


She gave me cool drink 'till my wits came again

Before I could speak she was gone like the wind

Had I but died, I could follow her then

But I lay with the living that day


Long I did search, a full year I have mourned

And told all my brothers this love I have bourne

But she is of Mhaldor, and I of this shore

So here with my brothers I stay


Sing me no songs of angels I pray

For a rajamalan found me in battle that day


True to this dream like the tale I have told

Close to my heart, a small pouch I still hold

And in it a lock of her hair pure as gold

This I carry to battle this day


Alone by the fire

A warrior I knew

Told me this tale

And I pray it is true.....
