The Forest of Faylinn

Wane and Wax does the moon1

On my endless journey2

From town to town my feet they wander3

To sing my tales to thee4

-------5

Alas such a grandoir night6

As the light shone from the trees7

I saw something so odd it was8

The bark, I'd never seen9

Tree's of young, trees of old10

Diamond Jewels, Rubies, Gold11

Silver leaves fell on the ground12

As opals withered without a sound13

Then from the corner14

Of my awe-struck eye15

I saw a tree 16

stand round and high17

My world changed, 18

I will not lie19

I felt the wealth 20

T'was so consumed21

Followed by 22

a duanting doom23

It felt so cold24

But still so good25

In total shock26

I simply stood27

-----------------28

A tree of Emeralds29

A warming need30

I promised then31

I'd never leave32

But with those words awoke the beast33

Uncoiled from it's lies34

Entranced in emeralds I was no more35

As those jewels they turned to eyes36

The snake rose up37

In Satans hand38

As the forest turned to smoke39

I was alone40

In a wasted land41

When the devils trap, it spoke42

"You see you now43

as you are44

You no longer are free45

Master made a promise now46

And you belong to me47

Forever trapped in your own greed48

It's what was in your soul"49

But i'd another song to sing 50

This he didn't know51

"Devil snake i'll tell you what52

You truely won me fair 53

But if I tell you your master secret54

You release me from your lair"55

The snake just hissed it's awful laugh56

And threw it's thorny head57

"Little men can make no deals58

When they're already dead"59

It seemed him right as I looked about60

The inferno fit to hell61

"Alright monster, but just listen.62

You'll love what i shall tell"63

I wove a story in his mind64

Deep and scary things65

The darkest tale I could think66

That would surely haunt his dream67

In terror the snake wrapped himself68

Back into his hidden space69

The story told? No I can't,70

Perhaps a different time and place71

Suddenly the sun re-shone72

And the grass was at my feet73

The forest back it's lively hood74

With colors and smells of sweet75

The only change was the tree76

Now not my emerald nightmare 77

Withered up and dead as dust 78

A rotted trunk was all was there79

The Faylinn Woods81

are a magic place82

Bright and great and green83

But that's not all 84

thats in the woods 85

Not all is what it seems86
