Their fingers if their firm and round

There's death today on the marrow mound

[Verse 10]
C Em/B Am D C
C Em/B Am D C

C C/B G G/F#
The cloud of fate of the lithon sparks
F Em
That ended their future and gobbled their pasts
C C/B G G/F#
As the trolls o’the mound with their teeth blood red
F Em
Feed on their remnants and dream of their beds
C C/B G G/F#
They are burnished away on a chariot of fate
F Em
And the creatures of legend disappeared through the gate
C C/B G G/F#
While the Children of Rarn with the world all free
F Em
Prayed in the east for what had to be

C C/B G G/F# F Em
Then the priest of God changes the name from Beltane to Earth in a shower of rain
C C/B G G/F#
And the tribe knew to pray, then they kneeled again
F Em
They are no longer peace lings, they have a new life then

C C/B G G/F#
The last of the creatures, the animals of Rarn
F Em
Disappeared through the gate in the afternoon calm
C C/B G G/F#
Then a lone unicorn waited to feast
F Em
On the last day of Beltane with the ancient high priest
C C/B G G/F#
Then old Agadinmar sang again from the book
F Em
And the egg of a lithon he also took
C C/B G G/F#
And placed it high in the heat of the sun
F Em
And as the beast and the creature departed the dinosaurs began, Oh

[Outro]
