The Light of Eyllwe is how she was known,
And for her people, she was a symbol of hope.
Princess Nehemia will never ascend to her throne.
Adarlan's King she planned to dethrone,
And when her subjects were brutally slaughtered, she refused to mope.
The Light of Eyllwe is how she was known.
Her assassin friend's actions she was unable to condone,
Although the assassin was the one who helped her to cope.
Princess Nehemia will never ascend to her throne.
Her fate she did not bemoan,
And of her plans, the assassin did not know the whole scope.
The Light of Eyllwe is how she was known.
Her true plans had to remain unknown,
Or else her life would have been cut short by a rope.
Princess Nehemia will never ascend to her throne.
When she died, into turmoil her friend's life was thrown,
And back out of the darkness would her friend have to grope.
The Light of Eyllwe is how she was known,
Princess Nehemia will never ascend to her throne.
