I
On and on it goes, through the rain and snow.
The trails of destruction, and trials of construction.
On and on it goes, through the rain and snow.
Tracking takes some work and thought, and means that you take time.
On and on it goes, through the rain and snow.
The trail of death, and tears, and pain.
Forever, and again.
II
To set the camp we work, hard is not a thought.
High, bright tents, dissolve in the night, into a land with blight.
To set the camp we work, hard is not a thought.
"Jump up, you guard, and light your lamp. To keep this camping safe."
To set the camp we work, hard is not a thought.
Though it doth pour, it drencheth not our soul.
On forever more.
III
Death Bell rings once more.
For Jonathan is no more.
Death Bell rings once more.
The animals killed for pleasure morbid and all that we forbid.
Death Bell rings once more.
For the newly poor,
Families adore, once and ever more.

She walked through the camp.
Saddened, full of grief.
She walked through the camp.
Behind her a branch did snapped.
Still, she walked through the camp
Donatar, and Swift Foot met, she did.
Allies forever more.
V
On and on they go, days of toil.
Work they forget in the anguish.
On and on they go, days of toil.
A footprint there. A broken twig here.
On and on they go, days of toil.
After, after. over and over.
Tracking the whole day more.
VI
The day is now ending. Twilight beginning.
Wonderful flame warms the night.
The day is now ending. Twilight beginning.
A bed on the soil of earth.
The day is now ending. Twilight beginning.
Donatar learns of the truth.
The enemies are in front no more.
VII
Twilight is gone, the trees have no song.
Unless 'tis the birds in their boughs.
Twilight is gone, the trees have no song.
The camp is as quite as death.
Twilight is gone, the trees have no song.
And Marwin was taken. She is long gone.
And the allies are sep'rate once more.
VIII
Oh how stupid of me, of thee, of me!
How I let her rest far from the camp.
Oh how stupid of me, of thee, of me!
And now my dear friend, and fire will brand, a light in the dark 'till but help.
Oh how stupid of me, of thee, of me!
Let us look for the run away one.
Was she gone for an hour, or ever more?
IX
Away far away, in a dark, dark, dark cave.
There is a great creature of green.
Away far away, in a dark, dark, dark cave.
Is some help for the Girl in a hole.
Away far away, in a dark, dark, dark cave.
Awaken, awaken. shrill whistle doth blow.
Awaken, and harken, I need help from a hole!
X
And some help did doth come.
And more than some. For there was three there to help.
And some help did doth come.
and the Ogres are gone. And faith! I laugh at the sight!
And some help did doth come.
And forever the calm, the calm after storm.
And forever, for some, and forever for more.
XI
At last they do eat, and in health have a seat.
In the bright rays of moon.
At last they do eat, and in health have a seat.
Having more than enough, and a bed made of fluff.
At last they do eat, and in health have a seat.
At the table of friendship, and feast.
The doth love like the rest, and this, forever more.
Thus said the poet, and Bard of the lord of Dainmark.
