She Walks in Darkness (The Ballad of Naeid Firestorm)

She Walks in Darkness

(The Ballad of Naeid Firestorm)

Under the light

Of a forgotten moon

Here dwells a tale

Of woe and doom

Of warriors brave

And maidens fair

Of darkest death

And the crown he wears

Sharp of eyes, fierce of sight

She walks in darkness like the night

She was alone

Among those men of old

Her sword named for

The dwarven hero cold

Astride her mare

On wings of black

She kissed her bear

And ne'er looked back

Blade of steel, heart of ice

She walks in darkness like the night

That night of doom

The sky was black and bare

The moon was rising

Pale light to share

She needs no sign

To see her foe

His flames leapt high

From his fire below

Black of hair, enemy of fright

She rides in darkness like the night

Above the clouds

The enemy flies

She’ll meet his flames

Even if she dies

A lance of silver

Shining bright

Flashing death

Against the night

She fears not death, its humbling light

She bathes in darkness like the night

A breath of fire

That lights the sky

A waltz of doom

The song is nigh

Her aim unspoiled

Her strike is true

The dragon’s reckoning

Has now come due

Her battle is true, her sword is right

She revels in darkness like the night

The demon’s vengeance

Comes swift as well

His claws held tight

And down they fell

She will not cry

She will not bend

Her life she gives

For terror’s end

O Naeid Firestorm, warrior of light

You lie in darkness like the night
