1. Soon shall we part, though affection still binds us
We are kin in name, and neighbors by home

2. With our neighbor's departure, a raven did cry
Strange are the words that fall from their lips

3. Tomorrow, news shall come that brings worry
Calling them to return to their sons

4. Each day a calamity or misfortune
Where a complainer or blamer dies

5. On a land that feels not for those upon it
No loved one remains, nor intimate friend

6. With specters, betrayal keeps pace
Neither food nor drink bring peace

7. If riches must fade and disappear
Then we all live in fear and peril
