The Tree

The song that leads Blaike to the City. It's lyrics are banned by the City itself, and Senka sings it secretly near Blaike when he arrives. Senka was the first person to introduce the song to Blaike. Gallow also knows the song, revealing that it has importance to the plot of the story. The lyrics symbolize people, things, places, and events in the actual story. Also, the song itself is choppy, because lyrics are missing.

The Tree
A white tree

So bare and broad

Its connected roots

Like the fingers of God

Three pieces and a stone

Together make the trinity

Three souls and a tree

To take more than the City

What you take

You must return

A soul for a soul

Finally you learn

The tree of life

Controls your will

Together you make

Together you kill

A phoenix gives life

As a mother can

Two children

A shadow made the man

Bravery can never be undone

Unless your courage is spirited

By the calls of the son

Of the shadowed Dead

It is your destiny

To be the tree of solitaire

The single most precious thing

In the shadows deathly lair

In a world

Torched by progress

In a land

So filled with hate

What you take

You must Cycle

Otherwise for all our sake

All is mine.
