Uncraeft
Words and music by Catherine Faber
Am Em F Am
Uncraeft; the pain that no power can salve:
Em C Em
I wasn't the king the land wanted to have.
C Dm Am Em
Drought withers the pastures and dries up the streams.
Am Em F Am
Uncraeft; it whispers through all of my dreams.
C G
Fighting to salvage what kingdom remains,
Am F Em
I read from the plaster the pay for my pains.
C F G
My tie to the Lion no magic redeems,
Am Em F Am
Uncraeft; it whispers through all of my dreams.
Uncraeft; the half-king that's better than none,
I stayed and I labored and let my foe run.
What's left to me now but to fight for my schemes?
Uncraeft; it whispers through all of my dreams.
Uncraeft, I see, through the fog and the mud,
Freelorn is come, with my payment in blood;
The Lion our Sire will turn from my screams
Uncraeft; it whispers through all of my dreams.
