"Reevin's Run" - Lyrics

Quickly now, running ‘way from town there’s Dyelle

Bow on her back down a craggy, old path she goes

A few new bandages on her cuts and a lesson learned about easy trust

Swiftly now, headed towards that town is Reevin

A servant boy who is fleeing now for his life

Twelve years old and afraid of death, when the Beast gets caught then he knows he’s next

In the dead of night

He sees a passing light

A Swampfolk woman with a torch and map to his surprise

Catches him lurking ‘bout

Gets bow and arrow out

Sees he’s a child and calls him closer with a gentle shout

“What are you doing on this dark road alone?”

He tells her leaving all hat he’s ever known

“You can camp with me in my humble tent

And when morning comes, head off to the swamp.

Tell them that you are Dyelle sent

And they’ll keep you safe take my word as bond.”

Reevin hugs her waist

And he gives his thanks

A little bit of hope goes a real long way

Sunlight glows and then Reevin’s woke by Dyelle   (“Now it’s time for you to wake”)

She tells him it’s time that they say their goodbyes for now   (“I wish you safest travels”)

She gives him bread and a Swampfolk jewel

So her Father knows that she sent him, true

Leaving now with a smile on face, is Reevin   (A little hope goes a long way)

Munching bread as he happily runs along   (And now the sun is setting)

Tamion can’t find a Beast this fast and the swamp’s not far, is he free at last?

In the dead of night

He sees a passing light

A merchant with a cart and horse who’s face is showing fright

The merchant doesn’t pause

Then Reevin sees the cause

Pursuing him are half a dozen members of The Watch

Reevin’s surrounded as the merchant escapes

Reevin is crying as he’s eyeing their blades

But to his surprise they all sheath their swords

And they grab him rough and drag him through woods

Crumbled structure, in clearing found

With an altar with many Watch around it

There’s a figure here, standing eight feet tall

Wearing plate mail, black as knight

It’s a Dread Templar, with a scar ‘cross face

And it’s skin is pale as white

He looks at Reevin and smiles…
