Thanks for tuning in to Splinterlands Radio ….
Silus cracked the seam of dawn
and the world went up in shards
One hundred parts of living
fell to one dark hand of cards
as the old maps burned to ash
Ninety-nine from every hundred
gone in one impossible flash
Now the stones remember
what the mothers used to sing
When the veil went thin as lace
and the sky forgot a king
The Splintering, the Splintering
we still hear it in the floor
The Splintering, the Splintering
made seven worlds and more
(sing the shards)
The Splintering, the Splintering
now we summon at the gate
For land, for gold, for breathing room
Praetoria rose in rumor
when the veil fell from the west
Resource-rich and newly found
like a jewel against the chest
under banners, bone, and rain
Chaos Empire still occupying
with its iron-grinned claim
Pristine Northwest shines pale blue
New Dawn keeps a watchful light
Broken Lands and Wilhelmdale
split the hush of endless night
Land of Prosperity
feeds the hungry, feeds the bold
Mox City counts its copper coins
and dares the wind to fold
The Splintering, the Splintering
we still hear it in the floor
The Splintering, the Splintering
made seven worlds and more
(sing the shards)
The Splintering, the Splintering
now we summon at the gate
For land, for gold, for breathing room
Central Fire on the foothills
of Mount Praetorous glows
Wild Northeast, Feranon
where the thorny cold wind blows
Great Lowlands, Miterstedt
where the mud and moon conspire
Shimmering Coasts, New Beluroc
with saltglass in the fire
Hey now, call your shield
call your spark, call your name
One world broke into seven
and we all play the same game
The Splintering, the Splintering
we still hear it in the floor
The Splintering, the Splintering
made seven worlds and more
(sing the shards)
The Splintering, the Splintering
Praetoria opens wide
Seven lands, one haunted song
