We are the children of Rarn
We've trodden the vales of the sun
The child will cry
On swans they fly
We are the children of Rarn
We are the seekers of space
We've seen our Master's face
It's young, gold and silvery old
We are the seekers of Space, hm
Youth seer lend me your ear
The Dworn dawn approaches and the darkness is near
The children in song brought Rarn to my head
The beach is a-shaking and the old time is dead
The scales of the sky are broken in song
And go to the temple and blow on your horn
Tree Wizard, the priest is summoning
Swan King, the priest is summoning
Pure Tongue, the priest is summoning
Ancient One, the priest is summoning
Oh, oh
Doo da, doo da, doo da
Doo da, doo da, doo da
Doo da, doo da, doo da
Oh, oh
Tree Wizard, the priest is summoning
Swan King, the priest is summoning
Ancient One, the priest is summoning
Pure Tongue, the priest is summoning
Oh, oh
Doo da, doo da, doo da
Doo da, doo da, doo da
Doo da, doo da, doo da
Oh, oh, oh
Baptillicas Caste, the whip-lord of Dworn
Laughed in the wind at the sound of the horn
But fools are young and their magic is weak
If they live in the taverns and sleep in the street
Do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do do
The elders abide beneath the Forest of Fire
On the one side the Furnace, on the other the Mire
Of Lithonic waste and the stagnant streams
That darken your passions and changeth your dreams
Do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do do
The Trolls from the hill
Looked down from the mound
It was the morning of war
And there wasn't a sound
Do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do do
[Spoken]
Agadinmar, he goes to the top of the mound that overlooks the battle. He sings a [...] to Rarn, the one god, and this is the song that he sings
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
To this earth
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
To this earth
Oh my darling, hm, hm
Beltane, humane, you'll come again
To this earth
[Spoken]
The enemy cometh in the procession of war
We are Dworns, devil born
Swords of steel will deliver us
On our steeds of solid wind
Machine god-kings, we are Dworns
We are Lithons, old as Earth
We knew no death, we knew no birth
We are Lithons, dragon breed
At noon today on flesh we'll feed
We are Trolls, from marrow mound
We live on bones when bones are found
Underground our lairs are wide
If you want bones, please come inside
We are Dworns, devil born
Swords of steel will deliver us
On our steeds of solid wind
Machine god-kings, we are Dworn
We are Dworn
We are Dworn
[Spoken]
The battle goes awry for the Peacelings. And bloody and torn Agadinmar goes to future mound and sings a [payon?] of faith to his God, asking for change, a change of the situation, a change of the times. This is the song
Rarn, Rarn, ah
Rarn, Rarn, ah
We mean you no harm
From the Book of Time
I chant these lines
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
We mean you no harm
From the Book of Time
I chant these lines
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn, ah
Rarn, Rarn
Vapours of change, fogs are formed, do do do do
Come o ye Darkness, darken the dawn, do do do do
Winds of the future, storms of the past
Meet in the meadows, embrace at last
Oh, and cause change
Again
Vapours of change, fogs are formed, do do do do
Come o ye Darkness, darken the dawn, do do do do
Winds of the future, storms of the past
Meet in the meadows, embrace at last
Oh, and cause change
We are Lithons, we cause death
We eat Dworns and we hate their breath
On their wheels that turn around
We eat Dworns we bring them down
We are Trolls, we eating bones
We eat Dworns, we like their toes
Their fingers if they're firm and round
There's death today on the marrow mound
We are Lithons, we cause death
We eat Dworns and we hate their breath
On their wheels that turn around
We eat Dworns we bring them down
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
You know we mean you no harm
From the Book of Time
We chant these lines
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
We mean you no harm
From the Book of Time
We chant these lines
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
Rarn, Rarn
The cloud of fate has a Lithon's boss
Ended their future and gobbled their past
As the Trolls unmount with their teeth blood red
Feed on the remnants and dream of their beds
They all vanish away on a Chariot of Fate
And the creatures of legend disappeared through the gate
While the Children of Rarn with their world all free
Prayed on their knees for what had to be
Then the priest of God changes the name
From "Beltane" to "Earth," in a shower of reign
And the tribe kneel to pray, then they kneel again
They're no longer Peacelings, they have a new name, "Men"
The last of the creatures, the animals of Rarn
Disappeared through the gate in the afternoon calm
Then a lone unicorn waited to feast
On the last day of Beltane with the ancient high priest
Then old Agadinmar sang again from the book
And the egg of a Lithon he also took
And placed it high in the heat of the sun
And as the beast and the priest departed the dinosaurs began
Oh
We are the children of Rarn
We've trodden the vales of the Sun
The child will cry
On swans they fly
We are the children of Rarn
And we are the seekers of Space
We've seen our Master's face
It's young and gold and silvery old
We are the seekers of Space
We are the children of Rarn
We've trodden the vales of the Sun
The child will cry
On swans they fly
We are the children of Rarn
And we are the seekers of Space
We've seen our Master's face
It's young and gold and silvery old
We are the seekers of Space
