We - my friend S´kirrel and me - were sailing on our ship on the back of the Serpent River, the biggest river in Barsaive. Suddenly we discovered a body drifting in the river. As we came closer, I realized that this was by far the loveliest elf I had ever seen. My heart stood still for a moment as I became aware that the girl was unconscious - and I thought hearing the Serpent River sing...
My head reaches the Blood Woods - the tail reaches Travar
The distance is far
And my arms like veins - are spreading through the land
The Death´s Sea lies at my end
I´m crossing the mountains - I´m entering the sea
Lively and free I´m the Serpent - wild and quiet
People pay tribute or feel my might
Helplessly you´re floating - darkest destiny
Is ruling thee
But your saviors - they´re not far away
Hold on - still you have to stay
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely on the raging stream
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely Elf, you´re embraced by me
Now they have reached you
A T´skrang and a man
Finally they saved you
And gave you hope again
Now that I lost thee - I take on my way
As every day I´m the Serpent - creeping through the land
The Death´s Sea lies at my end
Lonely on the Serpent River
Lonely on the raging stream
Lonely on the Serpent River
Finally - they freed thee
