Lyrics:

Chorus: I heard Ajo Rusk went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did he go?

The steel runs short, the copper thin. Oh what a sad state we are in!

Chorus: I heard Ajo Rusk went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Kujod Hern went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did he go?

The poles reversed from north to south. Oh what was all of that about?

Chorus: I heard Kujod Hern went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Nevrot Rusp went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in this parts, so to which port did he go?

The famines have been quite severe. Oh will we have a keg of beer?

Chorus: I heard Nevrot Rusp went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Haxard Nurm went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did he go?

The storms have been violent of late. Oh Zyngard’s wrath has become great!

Chorus: I heard Haxard Nurm Rusk went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Rynor Lark went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did he go?

Selzryan is sunk to the deep. What remains is a prison-keep!

Chorus: I heard Rynor Lark went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Trad Vy Want went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did he go?

Burning banners are appearing. Are the shadow-forces nearing?

Chorus: I heard Trad Vy Want went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Vaxon Jast went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! Dhe hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did dhe go?

Even forge cities are falling. Can ye hear Zaldyan calling?

Chorus: I heard Vaxon Jast went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!

Chorus: I heard Vylnort Sorel went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe! He hasn’t been seen in these parts, so to which port did he go?

Aye the harbours sure have shadow. Oh to where do the vanished go?

Chorus: I heard Vylnort Sorel went the way of Talamark! Oh alas, alack, and woe!
