An Eagles' Sorrow

Heartstone Eagles Recounted the tales Of the battles with the Wraiths and their piercing screeching wails When Eagles fell... In to the Wraiths' hell Blackened and burned Such brave sacrifices , learned The wind blew Bitter and cold Eagles took to the air To find the evil The coming darkness too Down below Wraiths With ripped and tattered cloaks Poisoning the earth With rancorous soaks Eagles , up high Swooped down Feathers of gold Gleaming in the sun The battle ahead, begun To take the Heartstone crowns With talons drawn They ripped through So many Wraiths Never enough Eagles To conquer the evil Of tattered cloaks, burned and torn Eagles, fell Burned Flashes of fire Eagles , gone forever In to the Wraiths' hell It is in an Eagles' sorrow That so many were lost That the Heartstone Gem The light to follow Banished the bitter frost In the midst of such pain All those years ago A new eyrie was built Close to the Great Hall To remember Those fallen Eagles Whose lives , spilt Who will live again In the hearts of all
