lyrics

There are many things an Adventurer or a Journeyman might seek. There are the obvious ones: Fame. Fortune. Untold Power. The curious ones: Knowledge. Experience. Stories of untraveled lands and unrivaled beasts. The more noble ones: Piety. Humility. Atonement.

But surely, we universally celebrate these accomplishments when our hero has returned. We celebrate with pealing bells, with the sound of cheering, roaring crowds soaring overhead. We hold large feasts that feed the whole village for a fortnight. We build roaring towers of fire, tickling against the night sky as the flames lick higher. We hear slurred, drunken chants of our hero's name, with even more inebriated musicians screeching along, unable to tell a serpent from a lute. But in all of these acts of celebration, the most common constant seems to be that of dance. Every element, every twitch, every act seems to be rooted in this most fundamental of human celebrations. They seem to map to our very bodies, our souls, our motions as we move. The licking of the flames, the sound of the pealing carillon. Surely there is no other perfect metaphor to find meaning in the chaos:

The ancient history, of the Rondo'd Dance.
