Lanre!

Lanre! is a song written by Arliden and tells the story of Lanre's life and death. Lanre! was never finished and was only ever sang once in public, to the members of Kvothe's troupe.

Lyrics

Sit and listen all, for I will sing
A story, wrought and forgotten in a time
Old and gone. A story of a man.
Proud Lanre, strong as the spring
Steel of the sword he had at ready hand.
Hear how he fought, fell, and rose again,
To fall again. Under shadow falling then.
Love felled him, love for native land,
And love of his wife Lyra, at whose calling
Some say he rose, through doors of death
To speak her name as his first reborn breath.
