Wheel Song

The Wheel Song

A traditional Prydaen song, sung over the corpse at death.

Demrris told us before he left

A promise of a life beyond our deaths

The Great Old One must have known

That the world is too wide for one life alone

So though this soul goes to Tenemlor

Soon it shall return to us once more

Passing from her blessed home

Back to the plains with us it will roam

And wander the forests and drink down the wind

And sing this song with us again.

And when the wheel has turned once more,

It will hear this song, as it did before.

Hear us, hear us, hurry along,

Take your rest, but don't stay long.

For leaves fall to ground and nourish the tree

The leaves come back, and so shall we!
