Reach Ellomin as, all but the guards, sleep
Goblin on Bear Hound, surprising to see
But they notice Timmund, unconscious and weak
Captain of Guard rushes through the farm town
Orders a man “Wake the Council up, now!”
They all emerge in their hoods and their robes
See wounded Timmund and quickly approach
Council Member 1: We are favoured, the boy is still breathing.
Oh, every part of Martin wants to find a way to climb
To the bottom of the chasm to make sure his friend’s alive
But it’s so deep, it might even take a week
To reach the bottom if you had a long ladder in reach
Timmund’s passed out and he’s lookin’ pretty hurt
(And if he don’t get attention, then it’s gonna get worse)
So Martin takes a moment, sheds a tear from his eye
And he climbs on the Beast and he rides

Let me tell you of the chasm, of the Spring/Fall battle
Formed back when the seasons met up on the battlefield
On one side are golden fields of wheat and cattle
On the other side’s a forest, lush and green
The chasm runs deep
Where once there was a river
When Spring and Fall’s war
Was broken up by Father Winter
The river was frozen
Each side, a season chose
Then the ice taken away
