Sturdy companion to the master of fate

Faithful retainer of the dark-elven blade

War-weathered captain, no bow was as true

Cruelly entwined in the dark foe's doom

As his bonds are loosed he is roused

With a prick of that treacherous blade

A fit of wild rage and a lightning flash

And revealed is his friend's lifeless face

Despair!

Quietly he comes by the captors at night

Rescues the outlaw, settles his plight

Hounded by thunder and the cold driving rain

Now will the cursed victim be stirred from his tormented daze

As his bonds are loosed he is roused

With a prick of that treacherous blade

A fit of wild rage and a lightning flash

And revealed is his friend's lifeless face

Despair!
