[Verse] In the dusty town of Gnisis Where the guar roam and play Lives a herder Kind and quirky Who dances 'neath the ash and clay The ashlanders shake their heads With scowls and cloaked disdain But our herder hums a tune As he tends his beasts in the rain [Verse 2] He wanders through the ashen fields His lute slung on his back Strumming tales of guar and dreams as mudcrabs clack and crack The tribe of savage outcasts With tattoos and fiercesome glare They grit their teeth and grumble "His songs just comb our hair." [Chorus] Oh The guar herder of Gnisis With a twinkle in his eye Plays a melody so wild Beneath the Morng Tong sky The ashlanders may complain Their faces full of frowns But the guar nuzzle close As his lute sends notes around [Verse 3] Now one day While out herding He met an ashlander bold "Leave this place You singing fool - you’re too weak and too old!" But the herder simply chuckled And strummed a joyful chord "Our guars won't heed your growls They love my songs much more!" [Bridge] Through the ghostfence shadows Where cliff racers fly The herder whistles merrily Turns his back to a loud war-cry He's known in all the villages From Seyda Neen to Urshilaku As the merry Guar Herder Who’s tarrying tale is true [Chorus] Oh The guar herder of Gnisis With a twinkle in his eye Plays a melody so wild Beneath the Morng Tong sky The ashlanders may complain Their faces full of frowns But the guar nuzzle close As his lute sends notes around
