Dodo's Lament Lyrics

We've been here for many a year

Ever since we were told

If we stayed put

We'd be kaput

Back in the days of old

But we heard rumour of a tumour

That grew in a far off land

A root known as the Paean's Kiss

Our purpose was at hand

We journeyed for millennia

Many of our kin were slain

From famine and exhaustion

But their last words were the same

Remember me

Remember me

Remember me

Remember me

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha

Ah ha ha ha

After what seemed like centuries

We finally had a lead to follow

A whisper spoke of a healing flower

In a world called Wild Hollow

By this time there were only three

Dodo's left alive

We knew our time was running thin

Existence was on the line

So we sailed and we strode and we

Swam and we crawled and we climbed

Until the blessed moment did arrive

We found this place

And from the ground it grew

A single flower, we knew what we must do

We made a pact

The flower was ours

And dodo blood would ever flow our veins

No one else could ever use it

The flower's power, they would exhaust it

We couldn't risk extinction once again

But that was years ago

Almost four hundred years ago

The flower's properties dwindle

With every passing day

We use the flower, it grows again

But every cycle is weaker than

The time before, it's simply a question of

How much longer do we have

Until we join our brethren in the end
