[verse]

Cutter’s Hollow lost its center

When the flux came to stay

Killed great Herb Gatherer Bruna

Her ’prentice far away

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

In Fort Angiers far to the north

Leesha got ill tiding

Her mentor dead, her father sick

Hollow a week’s riding

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

No guide she found through naked night

Just Jongleur travel wards

That could not hold the bandits back

As it did coreling hordes

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

Left for dead no horse or succour

Corelings roving in bands

They met a man with tattooed flesh

Killed demons with bare hands

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

The Hollow razed when they arrived

Not a ward left intact

And half the folk who called it home

Lay dead or on their backs

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

Warded Man spat on despair

Said follow me and fight

We’ll see the dawn if we all stand

Side by side in the night

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

All night they fought with axe and spear

Butcher’s knife and shield

While Leesha brought those too weak to

The Holy House to heal

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

Hollowers kept their loved ones safe

Though night was long and hard

There’s reason why the battlefield’s

Called the Corelings’ Graveyard

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow

[verse]

If someone asks why at sunset

Demons all get shivers

Hollowers say with honest word

It’s ’coz we’re all Deliverers

[chorus]

Not a one would run and hide,

They all did stand and follow

Killing demons in the night

The Warded Man came to the Hollow
