Unicorn Hole - Peril Impending lyrics

Ghael and Grub meet up with Ghenim
To discuss the state of things with him
Robed figures slaughtered
 rogue witches employed
The peace they’ve enjoyed may
Soon be destroyed

Ghael and Ghenim some twenty years ago
Helped defeat Elluryah’s
Unsurpassed greatest foes
A group of cultists with some bizarre skills
Who nearly bent the entire
Kingdom to their will

Grub asks "so, you think that they’re back?"
Ghael responds "it’s too soon to say that
But who hired witches to burn the barracks?
Was murder the goal, or hysterics?
"Garth knows now it was their plan
Rousing news- insane man
He only does good as he is told
An earthquake just barely controlled"

Ghenim is no less displeased
"Garth brings naught but unease

"They murdered our late king
But Garth kept the prince alive
A child charmed by his savior-
His Right Hand had arrived

"Garth is loyal to our king
And cares greatly for his men
Hate to admit he’s an asset
If they should rise again"
Ghael chimes in "so foe of a foe is a friend?
Let him become a martyr- then everybody wins

"Don’t forget what I turned down
Because Garth became the King’s Right Hand"
Grub says "you say that but
Would you follow orders from some other man?"

Ghenim butts in "as I recall
You didn’t want to join our army at all"
Ghael looks away and says "fine
But truly Garth had me even more appalled
"The question stands- are we prepared
If they should return?
Despite the mines collapsed
And literature burned
They swore that when we grew
Weak they would be back
Can we defend ourselves and counterattack?

"My girls are in need of more training
Their powers grow, but time is waning
I’ll make them stronger
Days will grow longer
They’ll be our best defense
Against the warmongers"

Grub says "just don’t forget
You’re discussing people here
They aren’t weapons
And they could choose to disappear"
Ghenim nods and adds "and
You mentioned the mines
I’ll ask the king to have
Them checked one last time
And hope that we find only peace of mind"
