Lament for Antar
One Part Only


Alas, few remain that remember
Of lore and myth now, stand silent
In the mid morn din, the call goes forth
To hear of the heroic stories

These tales do wept in silence
The ancient words read by all
The living music echoes the
The adventures of the those who died

Few read these ancient tomes
Fewer still those who retain, who remember
The ancient knowledge of the living words
The written lore of the Warrior Rath

From the lore of death, tears
Lamentations are set forth, morbid in depth
Each tale more fantastic than the last
The magical verses of Princess Isabel

With modern arts each tale does tell
Souls are haunted, ghostly images
A master's craft is well turned
Mystic gleams from traitorous coup

Who tells these tales, about the hearth?
They who once told them well
Flowers now grow where the blood seeped
Lost ages of the House of Zan

Speak out these words deserve to live
Each tale is great, more or less
Take the scribe's pen write for all to see
Legends, live today, Antar Heroes

Dead legends half-known are to be feared
Those who lead us on the throne
Those who lead us in battle
Epic portions, all were true of the KIng

Fear the warrior's bands of honor and death
His banner once again stands unfurled
Proud, he stands, unmoving, firm in his goal
Resurrecting the stories, truth, the heroic romances

The poets knew of the King creed;
They sang of love, of heroes' deeds,
From their lyre the accents toll, vibrate
Echoing the pulse of the blood of life

Death for love: those who dared to love
Bounty true for armies feed
Wisdom in words, those fell mightily
Upon the memories of the Antarian people

And now once again, let the chimes ring out
Let nothing stand in the way, nothing added or minus
The ancient tales are to be told again
Antar's Heroic Royal Four
