Under cover of night, he treads, hooves light
eyes like fire, and heart of steel
he rules the southern lands with naught but his might
he's a more a shadow than stag, most doubt he's even real
but those who see him can attest
this shadow, this stag, this spectre at best
he, who is sought out by those who wish to be blessed
they know, they know, they know he is not a jest
though blessings he does not give, quite the opposite
to them go famine, fatigue, the plagues of old
as he, as he, as he is more a prophet
destruction and death he has foretold
though not all who seek him are cursed
for by one woman, her heart pure gold
day and night through his infancy he was nursed
she does not own him, though his darkened heart she holds
his mother, his partner, this strange up-walking mare
by the name of lyrebird, she took him in and managed to care
he vowed to protect her in turn, and to this day he's done so with flair
the locals believe her chosen, cursed or blessed, by this creature, this shadow's heir
