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!
