Once men marked by weather and hard seasons had walked this way -
They'd followed one of the old roads -
Felt the wind from the sea against their skin -
The flint and chalk beneath their feet -
They knew the strong names of their kingdom -
Burning Cliff -
Split Rock -
Daggers Gate -
White Nothe -
They breathed its air -
They knew its stars above coombe and barrow -
The smell of the smoke from their father's hearths -
