New dens are needed to populate the void
A blanket of cracks scars the trodden salt
Valiant fliers of tenacity leave behind sacred relics
Agile traders pay their trades in the hinterland
Jim from Washington tells much of his god and his ways
Ones under bondage may sit with the tribe
Spells and magic lie hidden in primeval nature
Hunters cower as dark giants traverse the floes
Our lives change with the sun and moon
Scouring breached rocks by the riverside
Hearths must be kept pure and holy
Offenses so minor lead to dire tragedy
Not every animal can heal like the plants can
Eight eyes and human form protect the vulnerable
Our enemy watches and waits from his fort
Jim of Washington speaks of ill providence
Incessant gods of flame reign supreme
Banishing the innocent to unknown lands
Words of wisdom talk to the hand
Ease is forged from balance
