The Question Song / Star Stone

Gone away
Gone ahead
Echoes roll unanswer'd
Empty
Open
Dusty
Dead
Why have all the Weyrfolk fled?
Where have dragons gone together?
Leaving weyrs to wind and weather
Setting herdbeast free of tether
Gone our safeguards gone but whither

Have they flown to some new weyr?
Where cruel Thread some others fear
Are they worlds away from here?
Why, oh why, the empty weyr?

Gone away
Gone ahead
Echoes roll unanswer'd
Empty
Open
Dusty
Dead
Why have all the Weyrfolk fled?
