Featured in Peace of Evon, the “Song of Mourning” is Evon’s national ritual of grief. Since Evon has spent most of its years as a country at war, its people sing the “Song of Mourning” to grieve those who have been lost.
“Song of Mourning”
Send me away from the place I call home,
Send me away from the one that I love,
Send me away on the tides of tomorrow,
Send me away, send me away.
Send me away over fields and o’er mountains,
Send me away under blue skies and clouds,
Send me away with the rush of the river,
Send me away, send me away.
Send me away with the morning’s first sunlight,
Send me away in the darkness of night,
Send me away unto Carith, Creator,
Send me away, send me away.
