Elanthia's Dark Moon

You begin to sing "Elanthia's Dark Moon", by Trul Oldsong and Taeliesin Delaweir.

"'Twas on a late dark evening

As she watched her lover sleeping

Two evil eyes appeared inside her room"

"Her soul ached with dread

As a vision filled her head

Of her love's cold still form inside a tomb"

"She understood the meaning

Of the vision she was seeing

In the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."

"He once was known as Trueheart

Before his soul turned dark

Now blackened and fouled with decay"

"Now Tamerlane Souldrinker

Baron reaper and soul stealer

She wished that she could see another way"

"She went to see the Baron

On a foolhardy errand

In the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."

"And as Katamba rises

It's then she realizes

That only she can save him from his doom

Yavash it sets

Her heart fills with regret

In the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."

"As she came into his presence

She felt his sick, tormented essence

She took his hand and fell upon her knees"

"'I have no gold to give

'But my soul for his to live

'For my lover I would give it willingly'"

"But in her plea to save him

Her love it would betray him

In the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."

"She continued to kneel

The bargain it was sealed

She whispered, 'So you'll let him live?'"

"He lifted her chin

Said ' 'Twas always you, not him.

'Now you see the soul was never his.'"

"His smile split the gloom

As his laughter filled the room

In the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."

"And as Katamba rises

It's then she realizes

It was she who sealed her own doom

Yavash it sets

Her heart fills with regret

In the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."

The song ends with a breathless whisper --

"When Tamerlane came soul stealing

She gave hers to him kneeling . . .

. . . in the shadow of Elanthia's dark moon."
