Arakris' Lullaby

Summary:

Arakris' mother once sang him a song. Arakris later - much later - had Ghost record him singing that Lullaby for Grey. He sang it both in Eliksni and a paraphrased translation into Earth Common.

Till this day, Ghost protects it like the most precious treasure.

Who knows when Grey might need to remember?

Work Text:

 

 

"Our people scattered, our world lost to the void,

We struggle and fear, but it doesn’t matter,

Our lives may yet be enjoyed.

 

Your eyes may see unclear, your future you cannot hold,

but know, oh know, just know my dear,

I will keep you from the cold.

 

The lights they seem so distant, our home we fail to find,

But when I see you here my darling, in an instant

I have the strength to ease my mind.

 

I have known the farthest reaches, I have lived amongst the stars,

But the beauty of my darling leaches

Colour from the Universe and all I’ve seen so far.

 

Your eyes may see unclear, your future you cannot hold,

but know, oh know, just know my dear,

I will keep you from the cold."
