Our Lost and Lovéd Orhaloon

I wrote these lyrics to accompany the backstories of a couple of characters in fantasy role-playing games. While it is a lament in lullaby form that memorializes a shared, beloved homeworld that they expect never to reach again, it also commemorates loss in general.

The instrumental intro is particularly long. so the singing doesn’t start until about halfway through the song.

Lyrics

Orhaloon is far away.

Any longer, no one finds our hidden home.

Orhaloon is far, far away.

Any longer, no one wears our weary words.

No one’s goin’ home anytime soon

to our lost and lovéd Orhaloon.

Orhaloon is very far, far away.

Any longer, no one views its misty moons.

Orhaloon is so very, very, far, far away.

Any longer, no one holds their long-lost loves.

No one’s goin’ home anytime soon

to our lost and lovéd Orhaloon.

Our lost and lovéd Orhaloon…

Orhaloon.
