The Faerie Dead

--Music and lyrics © 2003 by Ernest Clark


As Sigurd walked a Danelaw trail one hazy summer day
A dull  disquiet tinged his thoughts and drew his eyes astray
To meadow poorly seen as though the haze were in his head.
Intent, he willed that he might see…  and saw the Faerie Dead!

The elves and trolls lay intermixed yet scattered where they fell
And who had beaten whom that day the corpses did not tell.
And things that were not vultures picked at gut and eye and shred, 
Gruesome strewn the battlefield with the Faerie Dead.

The soulless ones of Faerie live forever 'til they die,
Concealed by spell of misdirect persisting where they lie.
And crumble into dust do they before the spell has fled.
And rare indeed the mortal who has seen the Faerie Dead.

What he saw that day did Sigurd not a sentence tell.
But  peace forsook him evermore when he shook the spell. 
Daily on their eldrich horns blow scouts who skirmish red,
And Sigurd fears the day they learn… that he has seen their Dead.
