The Black Rabbit of Inlé

Frith, the sun that shines so bright I am the shadow close behind him The skull beneath the flesh Bringing souls to rest Detested by mortal kind As their coil unwinds El-ahrairah in the dark The Champion of the living Descends the crumbling shale A proud and arrogant hero He comes to risk it all Digger Runner Prince Remember you were given The speed to run from me The dark swift gave you warning A chance for you to flee To you Frith has been kind But I remain the same For death cannot be fooled By your trickster games How I wish you would give in Accept you cannot win I hold no hate in my mind I cannot be reasoned with l am the will of Frith You seek an answer you will never find Here in the land of moonlight All alone in the cold of my presence The yawning maw of eternity Forever in reverence I will not be persuaded Take what's left and go I, In-lé Ra A river of bitterness flowing on On the first day Shadows will sever your tail If you fail To win at your game And on the next They’ll take your ears away How much more will you withstand before You give in Prince of a Thousand Enemies Who claws at stone Digging in vain
