Lullabye to Ladros

Run, run, say the weary horsemen
As I watch them 'neath the midnight sun and
Run, run say the horses' hoofbeats
Beating like the drum, drum, drums.

Hush, hush, says a weary mama
As she rocks her baby child to sleep and
Hush, hush says a snowy owl
As I begin to weep, weep, weep...

Run, run, oh Ladros hear me,
Fight, fight, fight to the end.
Hush, hush, oh draw you near me,
Sleep now, sleep now my Land...

Run, run, says the hungry fire
As it eats away the endless plains and
Run, run, says the smoky thunder
As I pray for the rain, rain, rain...

Hush, hush, says our exiled captain
As we ride for our hiding place and
Hush, hush, say the lake's blue waters
Reflecting silent space, space, space...

Run, run, oh Ladros hear me,
Fight, fight, fight to the end.
Hush, hush, oh draw you near me,
Sleep now, sleep now my Land...

Run, run, says the wet November
As I run through a threatening gloom and
Run, run, says a distant candle
Seducing me to my doom, doom, doom.

Hush, hush, says a claw and orc rope
They hold me like a mother's arms and
Hush, hush, as they gently lay me
To death by treason's charms, charms, charms.

Run, run, oh Ladros hear me,
Fight, fight, fight to the end.
Hush, hush, oh draw you near me,
Sleep now, sleep now my Land...
Sleep now... Sleep now.... the end.
