Trees felled, rivers overflow
The world is unsafe, magic
spells are mangled
We were already afraid of it
Out of desperation some have
predicted it high to low
We don't hear the master
But we are young, we want to live
if necessary against better judgment
No ruin will remain
We build dams and lodges
who and what's in the way is done for
This is the new reality
Learning is hard, the world as small
and poor as we are ourselves
