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!
