"A Refugee's Journey", by Justynian Addelthorp

:"There once was a lad, with light in his eyes,
: And adventuring born in his heart.
: One dark, chilly night, with stars in his sight,
: He did on a journey embark."
: "Oh yes, he did on a journey embark."
: "'Now where shall I start?', the boy asked himself,
: 'And what shall my journey's end be?'
: Thoughts bounced in his head and he grinned when he said,
: 'I shall travel till I reach the sea.'"
: "'What a wonderous sight it must be!'"
: "He walked down the road, and skipped as he strode,
: Till now a dark forest he reached.
: A crow standing there shrieked. 'Traveler beware!
: Turn back while you can!', it beseeched."
: "'Beware a forest time could not breach.'"
: "The boy did believe the warning received
: From this mysterious crow in his path.
: 'But a yearn in my soul says I must reach my goal
: And so through these woods I must pass.'"
: "And sands of time poured down the glass."
: "He noticed the trees, all cluttered with leaves,
: Had covered the sky and turned all into seeming.
: He could not tell dark, he could not tell light,
: It almost felt like he was dreaming."
: "In a forest where time had no meaning."
: "The night became day, the day became night,
: In moments the months seemed to fly.
: The boy stared with glee, as he now reached the sea,
: Though it felt like a but a night had gone."
: "'Twas ten years in the blink of an eye!"
: "He rested his feet, with his journey complete,
: But he longed for the place he called home.
: 'I miss all my friends, my family and things
: And to sleep in a bed of my own...'"
: "'I grow weary of being alone.'"
: "He traveled once more, through the Forest of Lore,
: With another ten years flying by.
: 'I bet nothing has changed and my friends are the same.
: I can't wait to see the look in their eyes!'"
: "But instead reached his home, much surprised."
: "For on his returning, his village was burning.
: His people were screaming in fear.
: A man dashing by, yelled 'Stranger, be spry!
: Take wind and get out of here!'"
: "'The dead have arose and are near!'"
: "The leader's voice boomed, 'Look back and you're doomed
: Do not turn your heads or shed tears.
: Our brethern are slain, but their legacy remains.
: Let us now find a home we won't fear...'"
: "'A home that is far, far from here.'"
: "The boy, much confused, now listened for news
: On what could have caused this destruction.
: Just then a man spoke, 'The barrier broke!
: What weakened its mystic construction?'"
: "''Twas Lyras who caused this corruption!'"
: "'But how can that be?!', scoffed one refugee,
: 'We all know that Lyras is dead.'
: A gnome then replied, ''Tis true, Lyras died
: But she's now rose again from her bed.'"
: "Many days through the land, the group tread."
: "The refugees walked until finally blocked
: By the gate of a town they'd not known.
: They stayed in this place, with all kinds of race,
: And there, to this day, call it home."
: "And never again shall they roam."

The song ends in a minor key.
