The Sacrifice - a threnody to Olie, the elephant ---------------------------------- We travelled to the lonesome lands Where dragons use to sleep We killed their kind with sinning hands Until we heard the laughing lich Olie, you are a hero Oh Olie, you died for us Olie, we will remember Oh Olie, the elephant. We tried to fight this hideous form But we were paralyzed And through the monster's thunderstorm Our eyes caught Olie's last resolve Olie... He stomped his feet in cracking ice And charged against the beast He gave his life in sacrifice And broke the binding curse Olie... As soon as swords could dance again We cut the lich in half But Olie crouched in deadly pain And drew his final breath
