You’ve been sleeping and dreaming, so the Seas of Ever say. Though the last bells are tolling, and the mists have come to stay, it’s only a dream. While you were alone, the earth began to cry, elemental child, keeper of the wise. Will you whisper secret words of life? Will you keep them far beyond the fire, until time? You’ve been crying and whispering, so the Songs of Ever say. Though the last bells are tolling, and the mists have come to stay, it’s only a whisper
