Two Ships from the Ashes

The day the eastern host fell wrong

The walls could hold no more

Though brave hearts fought on every street

The Gnar came like a storm

Cities bowed and watchfires died

Old fear returned again

Like in the days when dragons ruled

The lives and minds of men

So the free folk fled to the hills at night

While the Gnar beasts searched the land

But hope still lived in stubborn souls

And one unbroken clan

Two airships rose through smoke and ash

From the last free harbor’s bay

For the blood of Strongcastle would not yield

Though the world had lost its way

The Stormbreaker turned toward the west

Across the iron foam

Where distant lands knew dragon chains

No longer ruled their homes

King David’s children took that path

To seek the help they knew

For England forged with thunder fire

The weapons dragons fear

Gunpowder born from Donna’s theft

Of secrets dragons kept

And whispered tales of ancient light

In hidden vaults still slept

Two ships rose up through smoke and ash

With hope the world still lacked

One chasing fire across the sea

One riding the southern track

For somewhere still the children’s light

Might break the Gnar Wizard’s scar

And turn the tide of shadowed war

Against the rising Gnar

But Andrew turned the other way

With younger hearts and scars

The Baywhar Babe flew southward fast

Beneath unfamiliar stars

For Matthew, rider of proud Prophet,

Had seen in vision clear

A sword that slept in temple stone

Where jungle gods held fear

In lands where Quezacotl ruled

And ancient ruins lay

They chased a blade of legend old

To light the darkest day

One ship sought thunder from the west

One chased a blade of flame

While in the hills the hunted few

Still fought the Gnar by name

The world seemed lost to shadow then

With hope both faint and far

Yet destiny rode with those two ships

Against the rising Gnar

Two ships flew out through smoke and ash

Beneath the wounded stars

One seeking fire, one seeking steel

To break the hand of Gnar

And though the world had nearly fallen

And darkness traveled far

The winds still carried whispered hope

Against the rising Gnar

Remember well the night they flew

Through storm and fading scar

The Stormbreaker and Baywhar Babe

Against the rising Gnar
