- Seeker's Song
- (of the Atha'an Miere, author unknown)
- (this can be sung to a real song, whose name I forgot)
-
- Oh, I've sailed upon the oceans and I've sailed upon the seas
- I've weathered storms and crashing waves that brought me to my knees
- I've seen many a cargo lost amidst the salty brine
- But I've always managed to survive.
-
- Yes, I've watched my ship and crew go down amidst the churning ice
- I've returned home from lands unknown with goods far beyond price
- I've never known defeat nor have I fled before a foe
- But now I fear my candle's running low.
-
- I've laughed into the face of death and looked it in the eye
- I've spat into a hurricane and still my face was dry
- I've named the Dark One and he never did collect his due
- But now I think that he is going to.
-
- I've travelled through lands Blighted by the foul Father of Storms
- I've fought against his evil in its uncountable forms
- I've prayed for years that someday I'd return unto the sea
- But now I know that fate is not to be.

- :: But one last time I shall sing before I go to die
- :: The sea and the sun and the deep blue sky
- :: But one last time I shall sing before I go to die
- :: The sea and the sun and the deep blue sky
-
- I stood before the Fleetmasters who asked me if I'd go
- I knew where I'd be going but I could not tell them No
- I'd rather die on land than let another shed my tears
- I pray you need not follow in ten years.
