Three men from Yaryn

Born forth on wings

Of black dragons

Three men sail forth with hope

Of gold and crowns

Made of legends

Three men sail forth

Sword drawn

And armored boldly

For krakens bellowed below

A green dragon lay

Coiled deep in its cave

A lass in no distress

We would not know

We would not know

A viper slithered

Amongst the stores

Friend or foe

We would not know

We would not know

Three men sailed forth

To find a soul

To find their soul

Three men sailed forth

So full of strength

So full of hope

But the Kraken

pulled them below

pulled them below
