For weeks and months we’ve labored
Winter’s coming soon

The first snow falls on our heads
Darkness is growing, blood is on the moon

Light is fading like my life will fade

Once but a barren wasteland, my son has saved my world
Tell me your tales about the life you lost
All days of high adventure by fire come again
Here we’ll survive the bitter days of frost

Kind master come with hastenings
Too late, he is gone with stumblings
Too steep, even bold Gurgi he fears to climb down

Is this a taste of freedom
Oh what man am I
His death breaks my chains in two
A way to safety, Gurgi sees a way

What son forsakes his own flesh and blood

No bond of blood does hold you, never have I been false
Save once, the crutch I leaned on to survive
Ashamed I was to lie to you, ashamed to speak the truth
Now leave me here, begone and save your lives
No father came to love a son more dearly

We shall not be gone
There is still hope, the Fair Folk they may hear our call

Kind master blow the horn of old
Fair hands will help us and take hold
With mighty healings and with heavings save us all

Awaken, earth guardians, from a distant age
Awaken, earth guardians, open wide the cage
Awaken, earth guardians, ere it is too late
Awaken, earth guardians, open wide the gate

Leave this valley, leave it all behind and never we’ll return
Come the springtime we must leave, so far away, another day
Craddoc was a man of courage and good heart, my love he earned
Come the days of spring we’ll go, so far away, no reason to stay
Untold better should remain
I’d have left him where he’d fallen
For my heart was full of shame
So ashamed to be base-born
I’d have left him there to die
And I heard the thunder rolling
Heed your heart it’ll never lie
Now my shame is for my own
Find your heart and find your future
Make your own way, earn your own keep

To the Free Commots we’ll ride
Though hearts and souls be hollow
Two wand’rers in the pale light
Where the wind blows we’ll follow

Brave Gurgi, kindly master
To the wild east the winds blow
Come battle or disaster
To new horizons they’ll go
