Only One Day
Added on Feb 2, 2005Song about the rising and setting of Suk-Krath.
Suk-Krath rises slowly, spreading light across the land,
Shadows fading slowly from the curves of desert sand.
Another day upon us, set before us gleaming bright,
Wishes and dreams could be made real before it's once more night.
We fear the hidden danger and do not hear the silent song,
We wander down the paths of life, some short and some too long.
We walk with eyes wide open but we never seem to see,
The beauty that surrounds us if we'd only let it be.
Suk-Krath overhead now, burning hot upon the land,
No shade or shelter can be found among the burning sands.
Another day is halfway spent, and what have we to show?
Wishes and dreams aren't foolish things for those who dare to know.
A man walks once upon the day Suk-Krath sees fit to give,
So many fear the dying that they forget to live,
So many do not hear the call of desert's silent song,
Until the path is fully walked and they are left alone.
Suk-Krath setting silently as moons rise in the sky,
Another day once brought to life now given up to die.
As shadows fall across the sands and day gives way to night,
Hopes and dreams are lamps of the soul to help us keep the light.
If we can see the sunrise and sunset with equal awe,
If we can walk and not look back upon the path we trod,
And when the darkness of our lives must pass before our eyes,
Be content with having truly lived and dreams realized.
Suk-Krath missing from the sky, Lirathu in domain,
The silent desert sands have no memory of our names,
Like shifting Whira, dancing free, wipes track with no regrets,
We only get one life and we must live it to our best.
Suk-Krath rises slowly, spreading light across the land,Shadows fading slowly from the curves of desert sand.
Another day upon us, set before us gleaming bright,
Wishes and dreams could be made real before it's once more night.
We fear the hidden danger and do not hear the silent song,

Added on Feb 2, 2005A common drinking song.
It's a damn hard life in the windy sandy wastes
And you'd sell your own brother for just a tiny taste
of that life giving water which you cannot seem to find
and you follow that mirage till your half out of your mind
(Chorus)
Oh save a seat for me, my friend
When you find that journey's end
It's all the flame that you can hold
And the wenches there are VERY bold.
It's a damn hard life in the streets of Allanak
And you never know when you'll find a dagger in the back
All you want is a place to hide but you just can't escape
You're an Allanaki commoner and this is just your fate
(Chorus)
Oh, save a seat for me, my friend
When you find that journey's end
It's piles of spice for all to share
and never any danger there
It's a damn hard life on the wrong side of the law
And you wish you'd been smoother or that templar hadn't saw
You only took a few sids, what's the harm in doing that?
The half-giant raises his fists and you're knocked out flat
(Chorus)
Oh, save a seat for me, my friend
when you find that journeys end
The nobles there wear servers garb
and you damn well bet we work them hard
It's a damn hard life living only off the land
And you curse your fate and the ever blowing sands
You risk yourself in stupid ways for a little bit of meat
But at least you aren't starving on an Allanak street
(Chorus)
Oh, save a seat for me, my friend
When you find that journey's end
Someday I will join you there
and we'll share a round of cheer
It's a damn hard life in the windy sandy wastesAnd you'd sell your own brother for just a tiny taste
of that life giving water which you cannot seem to find
and you follow that mirage till your half out of your mind
(Chorus)
Oh save a seat for me, my friend
When you find that journey's end
