The Fate of the Elves

Day and night and night and day,
someone always has to pay.
Day and night and night and day,
in the forests they shall stay.

Water, fire, air and clay,
for their crimes they shall now pay.
Water, fire, air and clay,
in the darkness they shall stay.

Sadness, silence, sorrow, sulk,
into nothing they shall skulk.
Sadness, silence, sorrow, sulk,
on the shoreline lies their hulk.

Deadly, desperate, dimly lit,
for nothing was their sleek throat slit.
Deadly, desperate, damned and sad,
their fate means nothing they’re all dead.
