Thr Burning

The whispering trees Remembered the time Of the coming of the wraiths Before the ice king Shivering The related How trees died Trees mutilated Poison filled the air Fear and dread For a wraith could turn Every living thing Black, twisted and dead The whispering trees Remember the time When tall trees Fell Trying to protect a castle From the stinking hell With the wraiths Came fire Trees, burst in to flame Branches, burning Fires, rising higher Trees Stripped bare Blackened A castle in sight So little time to prepare The burning Of the trees For the wraiths The battle turning So many trees fell The despair For trees Braches dying Could not stop This hell Shrieks of pain As trees split asunder Shattered trees Shouts and groans Trees, desperate for rain Pulled under The whispering trees Passed the legend on Of a heartstone Of a battle , won Fresh trees grew Grievous wounds healed For magic made them stronger too
