Lyrics:

I remember our master called us away,

From the blood and the fire of those forlorn days.

There she did tell us “you’re ragged and spent!”

Then at her orders, to home we went.

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.

To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;

We sail to the place where we spent better days.

I remember the dances, the plays and the songs.

The crowds and the laughs as we pushed through the throng.

The shouts of our sisters were lost to the breeze.

As we leapt and spun through the boughs of the trees.

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.

To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;

We sail to the place where we spent better days.

I remember my lover and his sweet smile

Our adventures over our soaring isle.

I long for the time when I wasn’t away

But know my dear, my heart never strayed.

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.

To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;

We sail to the place where we spent better days.

I remember my lover, and his strong arms

We’d roam through the highlands and see their charms.

I can still feel his touch, in the grass where we laid

If he could see me now, what would he say?

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.

To the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;

We sail to the place where we spent better days.

At last we see old faithful, beached on the rocks.

Our sisters stood upon her bones, glaring like hawks

Yet I could see how they wallow, and how their hearts burn

As they wave us past, to a home heavens spurned.

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the south, where the fairies once played.

Yet as we reach the springs and the meadows, and those forest glades;

I wish I could see something other than graves.

Where once was green beauty, a land unsurpassed

Now all that's left is the mist and the ash

I and my lover are united once more

Yet the kiss of cold stone leaves me yearning for war.

Oh the skies go dark, and the wind blows away

I stare at the place where the fairies once played.

The springs and the meadows, and those forest glades

I wish I could see something other than graves.

Our once vibrant home is so silent and still.

I drown my sorrows in the most disgusting of swill

But soon it is over, our names called once more.

I’m glad to be gone from this haunted shore.

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the north, where the damn demons lay.

I head to a battle I might not survive

But those monsters will know the whole time I’m alive.

Oh, the skies fill with stars, and the wind blows our way.

We haul to the north, where the damn demons lay.

I head to a battle I might not survive

But those monsters will know the whole time I’m alive.

But those monsters will know the whole time I’m alive!
