10 A.W

Matriarch, a matriarch

All we need is a matriarch

Lead us, unite us, restrain us

One Matriarch, for three is disastrous

Fire and blood

Skulls and mud

One war over, another has begun

Who are we to blame? The son?

A patriarch, the first one

Perhaps the only one to rule under the sun.

Claim to rule denied

Elder's orders he defied.

Traditions?

What good were they before?

Did they stop the hawks that soar?

Or the elven hordes that roar?

Now is the time for a transition.

Patriarch, patriarch

Can we have a patriarch?

To lead us, to unite us, to rule us?

Would the outcome be disastrous?

Sister and brother

Sister, sister, and sister

Two young ones

Three old ones

As the elves learn what the Ancient Ones knew.

As the humans replace those who were slain.

We debate on what should be true.

Making the Last Great One's wishes be in vain.

A leader, a uniter, a controller

One to see us to the future

I wish no more than this

Holy Mother, fulfill this deepest wish.
