The King and The Wild Man (Translation)

Who are you that sits alone?
Spoke the wild man to the King,
A King of Halls, A King of Words,
You rule but in your sleep.

Who are you that looks like a mouse?
Spoke the King to the wildman,
You speak from dreams, little mouse,
Speak again and die.

I rule in plains and hills,
The birds invoke me from mountains,
If you saw this, you would go from these halls,
they are your hiding place.

I have no need to do these things,
For I have twelve hundred hands,
And these hands speak what is spoken of
and will do what must be done.

The oak trees whisper forgotten words,
Rain weeps for names unspoken,
The Wolf sings of the Moon's distant home,
Yet, there is silence in your halls.

I have no love for these things which are sung,
I have no want of one thing on this earth of yours,
If I cannot feast in my hall,
And sleep in my peaceful home.

I have tasted the earth's wild fruit,
I have seen her great despair,
You live as an exile of the world,
You are unfit to rule over a people.

You could have left or kept silence,
And returned under your lawless sun,
I have no need for your words,
So let your blood cover earth.

Slowly, He took his blade,
And he put throat to cold iron,
So earth covered by his blood
And silent was his tongue.

Thus rain wept his death,
And the oak whispered of sadness,
Over the King's silent halls,
which wolves call home.
