[Intro] [sigh] [Breathy spoken word] Solonor... help... me. [Verse 1 | 140 bpm | Cello | Duduk | low contralto vocals, | gritty husky tone] Mud on her boots, ice in her bone One torch left, she stands alone Seven kobolds closing on her tracks No one knows... she can't come back. [Verse 2 | contralto vocals | minor key | Cello | duduk] (Came from nowhere; they were on her fast.) (An empty quiver, save one last.) (Hides in shadows, they will find her soon.) (Surrounded under a blood moon) [Chorus | Epic choir | dark orchestral crescendo] Last arrow, Fly! Make it true, or I die No grave...no stone... no sweet goodbye [Hand claps] [Verse 3 | Epic | raspy contralto vocal | 140 bpm| Cello] Tracked her down from hollow woods. She's cornered where the old cairn stood. Wounded Ranger... is this her end? No song... no witness... Nor a friend. [Chorus | Epic choir | dark orchestral crescendo] Desperate vocals] Last arrow, Fly! Make it true, or I die No grave... no stone... no sweet goodbye [Hand claps] [Bridge | bagpipe | Cello crescendo] [low contralto vocals, raspy tone] The string snaps tight, the arrow screams It breaks the lines, it shatters fiends Hunter’s mark. Leader is dead Pack is broken, the rest have fled [Hand claps] [Outro | slow tempo | minor key |Breathy vocals |soft Bagpipes] Alone again in the ash-grey light She bolts into the moonlit night Dagger wound bleeding. Empty quiver Home. Soon, if she can reach the river [Breathy spoken word] Solonor... thank... you . [sigh] [end]
