"Pfnakapfna"
lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman

/ D C D - / D C - - / D C G D / D C G A /

In the dawn of the ages of old
Tellers of tales gathered 'round
And history grew from the stories we told
And lands from the maps that we traced on the ground

Here in the dawnfire's light
We're weaving a world as one
But you went and wandered off into the night
Does anyone else have a clue where you've gone?

	/ D - C G / D - C A / D - C G / D - C - G - / D ... /

	Where are you going, old friend, old friend?
	Running away from the worlds you made
	Endings come 'round to beginnings again
	But all that you want is to rest in the shade

I once heard you whisper a wood
Full of creatures that lived from the heart
And you gave them names and accounted them good
But they were too mute to partake in your art

So you spoke of a wide rolling plain
And a race that could think as you thought
And they spoke to the grass and the stones and the rain
But you did not hear, and accounted them naught

	Where are you going, old friend...?

So you left them, and went on your way
Seeking what you might do next
But all of the fun had gone out of your play
Leaving you bored and befuddled and vexed

Your mood set the shape of this land
Empty, with nothing to see
And the sun beat down hot on the barren grey sand
And you thought with regret of the shade of a tree

	Where are you going, old friend...?

Recalling your power of old
You grumbled and sent forth your will
And there sprouted a tree that was already old
That always had been there, and always will

The Shadetree grew tall in the waste
And as its branches unfurled
Pilgrims and wanderers came to that place
For the tree a god plants is the heart of a world

	So, where are you going, old friend...?
