---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Strange blood! in our veins, too late we understand
|
|
Strength and size and long allegience to the elfling band
|
|
Strange blood! for its gifts the price at last comes due
|
|
Strange lands and stranger duties has it brought us to.
|
|
|
|
Strange blood! and its gifts we gained from long ago
|
|
Shapechanger gave us this, for cause we'll never know
|
|
Strange blood! and its wisdom long since changed our track
|
|
Whereever it may lead us now, there is no turning back.
|
|
|
|
Strange blood! we are wolves, and we are something more
|
|
Now it brings us endless wand'ring, hunger, rage, and war
|
|
Strange blood! kept us fed and brought us help at need
|
|
Now it draws us by our bond to go where others heed,
|
|
|
|
Strange blood! no regrets; we would not turn aside
|
|
It brought us safely through the fire where all the others died
|
|
Strange blood! howl again, for now we know too well
|
|
Better a friend on paths unknown than be alone in hell.
