The Ballad of Alcaeron Thairne
For blasphemy and sin to wake
 The vengeful souls of mortals dead;
 To perish all for one's mistake
 And feel the wrath of serpent dread.
 
 A priest, a soldier, in holy favor,
 Though practiced too in the darkest art;
 He served his lord with faith and valor,
 But this deathly art did take his heart.
 
 The means defend and serve he sought,
 And this greatest strength he finally found;
 But intentions pure were all for naught,
 When this holy light he brought to ground.
 
 For blasphemy and sin to wake
 The vengeful souls of mortals dead;
 To perish all for one's mistake
 And feel the wrath of serpent dread.
 
 As times grew dark and war grew near
 He knew to fail he could not afford;
 He embraced his deepest, greatest fear
 And called to him this Serpent Lord.
 
 To save his people, through faith and sin,
 The fallen priest did life transcend;
 But from death his god did rise again
 And by it's wrath his world did end.
 
 For blasphemy and sin to wake
 The vengeful souls of mortals dead;
 To perish all for one's mistake
 And feed the wrath of serpent dread.
