Still waters run deep and life is deeper still,
The meaning of time and the passing of days,
Like the tranquil pond in autumn's haze,
...
Kings within their palace walls,
Bright the golden horde they wrought,
By their iron hands the nations fell,
Terror and fear swept before,
...
The goblin host so quickly destroys,
Painted flowers and crystal waters,
Hallowed ground is soon defiled,
Earth and stone so deeply scarred,
...
For golden hair and sunlight dancing,
Beauty rare in eyes of deepest blue,
A hundred men through gates are leaving,
...
