Found in the following locations: |
but a lie is put in their words, a trace of blame
One era past, then two and three rears its head
and since the end of the beginning
when near the heart they are struck dead
Cowards stain their hands in service of the stained hands
but since staining the heart, condemned themselves to one land
Strike from surprise or secret or afar
the foresters killed themselves by killing
a first era dragon in its last-years war
Now the shadow-hands skulk
in the shadow of a god-king
Now they hide in his city-ribs
safe from discovery
The god-king-city the evolution of their stained master
Unseen, the shadow-hands open the unwary neck
and hide behind parchment to escape their crimes
Unseen, the shadow-hands stab the unwatched back
and spin their malevolent webs
all for so-called honor
and a pitiful pile of hay
What grace, what skill they say
I rebut "What point has it
but to cheapen life already too cheap
but to put a last resort first in the mind
