A Song for the Holiday

There might not be much time for reading with all the Christmas fuss over the coming week, but if you are at a loose end, here's another Iyessi song.


Bleak as endless winter was the Worm.
The bones of the earth felt the pain of its passing.
Earth will sigh and air will churn.
Long was the woe that the Worm spawned
And the people wept for what was lost.
Fire will freeze and ice will burn.
Then came Ondd and breathed on the barren land
Banishing foul Lethir's lesser kindred.
Vitae death to life can turn.

And the dreams of destruction
Became haloed with hope.
