lyrics

Alister, fake from the start, he got a stake through his heart and died living a lie
Believed so wholeheartedly he'd won the cane and a queen he never said a goodbye
I don't underestimate Airad, her story is quite sad and she whispers apologies
She loved him I believe that, I didn't and she sees that, he was nothing at all to me

They would steal their children, sometimes they had to kill them
No crime goes unpunished you see
And so our kind were banished our connections to them damaged
That was the start of our Threnody
The walls came up and the blood ran thin and they refused to let anyone in
Trust your own kind, only your own kind
Well I think you'll find that's not how you win

My sister, just an infant, her blonde hair didn't enchant the Grinvoes 'cus of her sex
They took me when I was five, my parents didn't survive, I couldn't pay my respects
Nim you're using Bargaining deep down you're a human being, you can get in the town for me
Would you leave at morning light and tell her of my plight if you find my dear sister Sersit?

They would steal their children, sometimes they had to kill them
No crime goes unpunished you see
And so our kind were banished our connections to them damaged
That was the start of our Threnody
The walls came up and the blood ran thin and they refused to let anyone in
Trust your own kind, only your own kind
Well I think you'll find that's not how you win

The more I give the more I take
I may have made a grave mistake
I can't ignore his siren song
I fear I may be too far gone

Here I am outside the town, I know there's humans around, I know they won't let me in
If I could take off the shoes, I'd become one of them too, I'd have to leave Bargaining
And inside there may be Sersit, and Artemis could then be content that his sister's around
Maybe I will lie and say at least I tried when I tell him there's nothing I found.

So I deal in soul but the power is the goal
And I didn't think I'd give so much
The power is addictive I never want to leave it
And my artifacts become my crutch
And through the forest behind the trees Brier Eldon is expecting me
Trust your own kind, only your own kind
Well I think you'll find then you can't succeed.
