"Battle at Bastion's Bridge" - Lyrics

Let me tell you of the chasm, of the Spring/Fall battle

Formed back when the seasons met up on the battlefield

On one side are golden fields of wheat and cattle

On the other side’s a forest, lush and green

The chasm runs deep

Where once there was a river

When Spring and Fall’s war

Was broken up by Father Winter

The river was frozen

Each side, a season chose

Then the ice taken away

Let me speak of Bastion’s Bridge

Built by Mayor Bastion

Several hundred years after seasons dropped their forms

It was made by many men

Across the Spring/Fall chasm

So Mayor Bastion had his legacy ensured

The chasm runs deep

The bridge at it’s heart

A thousand years pass

And then that’s where we are

In the distance there’s motion

A group is approaching

One who’s traveled so far

Timmund and Martin and Half Elf and Beast

Have almost completed their quest to the East

A bridge in the distance looks ancient and weak

But Ellomin’s close and it’s all that’s between

As the group gets closer to the bridge

Martin sees the Beast looking scared

With a golden collar on his belt

There’s an orc who’s waiting there

The group stops a few yards back

As Tamion starts to speak

“I’ll let you cross this bridge…but you’ve got something that belongs to me.”

So Timmund dismounts and then Timmund draws his blade

Then Martin dismount and then Martin draws his blade

Then Tamion steps forward, with hammer in his grip

And his other hand unfurls an orc leather whip

Timmund tries to swing

But Tamion hits him in the ribs

So Timmund stumbles, tries to stab

But Tamion hits him in the ribs

So Timmund tries to throw a punch

But Tamion hits him in the ribs

Then Tamion hits him in the ribs

Then Tamion hits him in the ribs

Then Tamion hits him in the ribs

Then Martin slashes ‘cross the back of both his ankles

Tamion falling forward to his knees

Martin scrambles up onto the Bear Hound

Timmund scooped up by the mouth of Beast

They start crossing the bridge

As quick as they are able

But Tamion sits up and he snaps his whip

‘Round the Half Elf’s ankle

He pulls him off the Beast

And he lands on the bridge

And Tamion starts reeling him in

Martin looks over his shoulder

And tells the Beast to stop

But it’s too scared of Tamion

So Martin leaps off and he starts to sing

But Tamion gives his mighty hammer a swing

A low steady rumble

The bridge starts to crumble

And Martin has no choice but to stay with the Beast

It all turns to rubble

With Tamion on the edge

And the Half Elf dangling

Tamion tries to stand up to his feet

But Martin cut him too deep

And his ankles are too weak now

Martin watches, filled with dread

Tamion tumbles over edge

Him and Half Elf falling way down
