Himengleva's Lament
Cold footprints in the snow.
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Shivering as the north wind blows.
A young lass shrouded in fog.
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Shivering as the north wind blows.
She stumbles into a log cabin,
And curls up by a warm fire.
Frosted clothes from head to toes.
Warmth is desperately desired.
She sleeps through the night.
Toss and turn
Toss and turn
Toss and turn
Perspiring as the fire scorches.
Dreaming of her lost parents.
Mom and dad
Mom and dad
Mom and dad
Perspiring as the fire scorches.
As the door slams shut,
The girl wakes up.
A knight walks in,
By his side, a pup.
The pup greets the girl,
Lick lick
Lick lick
Lick lick
Wagging its playful tail.
It whimpers at her side
Woof, cry
Woof, cry
Woof, cry
Wagging its playful tail.
The knight walks up to her.
Covers her with a blanket.
Pours her a hot cider,
Feeds her a toasty banquet.
Days passed as she grew wiser.
Day and night
Day and night
Day and night
Cared for by the mythic knight.
Years passed as she grew older.
Year by year
Year by year
Year by year
Cared for by the mythic knight.
One day, the knight never returned.
The woman stood alone.
Scared for the worst,
She left the warm home.
Cold footprints in the snow.
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Shivering as the north wind blows.
A young woman shrouded in fog.
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Shivering as the north wind blows.
She stumbles across the knight,
Body still and cold to the touch.
Cloaked in his mythic armor,
The knight's hand in her clutch.
She kneels down by her knight.
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing
Mourning the loss of her hero.
The pup licks his cold face.
Lick lick
Lick lick
Lick lick
Mourning the loss of its master.
She ventured forward
Guided by her pup.
They came across a hill
And decided to go up.
Up the hill they went.
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Covered in snow from head to toe.
Shivering as the north wind blows.
Teeth chattering
Teeth chattering
Teeth chattering
Covered in snow from head to toe.
A pack of wolves charges at them
The pup guards its friend.
A bloody dog fight ensues,
Wolves fled as the pup's life ends.
The woman kneels at its side.
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing
As the pup takes its last breath.
The pup licks her cold hands.
Lick lick
Lick lick
Lick lick
As the pup takes its last breath.
The woman ventures forth alone,
Shivering in the bitter cold.
She's abducted by bandits,
Knocked out as her eyes roll.
Hours passed as she sleeps.
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Unaware of her harsh reality.
Dreaming of her lost loves.
Knight and pup
Knight and pup
Knight and pup
Unaware of her harsh reality.
She slowly wakes up
In the brig of a ship.
Sharks swarm around her
With swords at their hips.
She screams for help.
Scream, cry
Scream, cry
Scream, cry
The sharks snapping their jaws.
The pirates enjoy her screams.
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
The sharks snapping their jaws.
They arrive at a sunny dock,
The woman restrained.
They're attacked by privateers
As their blood was rained.
The woman escapes the skirmish.
Pit pat
Pit pat
Pit pat
She runs off undetected
She steals the captain's hooks
Swish swoosh
Swish swoosh
Swish swoosh
She runs off undetected.
She stumbles into a cave
And makes it her home.
She hunts the pirates,
To make sure she's alone.
Days passed as she grew stronger.
Day and night
Day and night
Day and night
Killing pirates and saving lives.
Years passed as she grew older.
Year by year
Year by year
Year by year
Killing pirates and saving lives.
One day, she goes to her forge.
She creates the knight's armor.
Smelting iron and crafting fabric,
She wears it in his honor.
She sails to Nordr
Woosh woosh
Woosh woosh
Woosh woosh
The ship rocks back and forth
The sail flaps in the wind
Flip flap
Flip flap
Flip flap
The ship rocks back and forth.
She reaches the dock
Steps in the snow.
She takes a deep breath
And away she goes.
Cold footprints in the snow.
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Shivering as the north wind blows.
An old woman shrouded in fog.
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Shivering as the north wind blows.
She stumbles upon the pup's body.
Frozen in a resting pose.
She pets its frozen head,
And kisses its frozen nose.
Cold footprints in the snow.
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Smoosh, crunch
Shivering as the north wind blows.
An old woman shrouded in fog.
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Eyes closed
Shivering as the north wind blows.
She stumbles across the knight's body.
She kneels down, feeling weak.
She sets the pup on his lap,
While a tear rolls down her cheek.
She hugs the knight and the pup.
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing
Crying and sobbing.
