Gerudo Valley

Long ago, a land was forged,

Soon after impending war,

Demons crawling out from the ground,

Seeking Power,

Of the golden crest.

The symbol of the goddesses,

Who gave birth to the earth, law, and life.

The hordes were forced back at a cost,

Many tragedies and divinity lost.

They had to create new life,

Disputes over this right.

Din did not want to create new lives,

Only the strongest to survive.

Her sisters did not agree,

They were appalled at her greed.

So they met in secret,

They replaced what was lost and remade old,

Green goddess created all creatures I was told,

She wished Din to have new toys of her own,

And so she created the Gerudo.

First a curse to prove their worth,

Then add anger and blood thirst,

Finally add pride and greed, perfect little thieves!

From the start we had stone hearts,

In every crime we played a part.

Led by our King and only man,

'Tis was our curse,

We could not live in harmony,

They forced us out, we had to leave,

So we walked for many days,

Guided by fate.

Our destiny led us to the sands,

The desert that was deemed forbidden land,

A place no man could conquer,

But we were not men.

Undaunted by devil's gold storms,

This place was where we should've been born.

Hot are the days, cold are the nights,

Fragile bodied, yet we will fight,

Our souls lock out the light.

Treacherous, dangerous, and unforgiving,

Thought it'd happen to one of us but not our King,

Fallen crown lying deserted on the ground,

We go on, too strong to be pulled down.

No tears, just stone, cold and alone,

Piles of bone, unlamented,

Couldn't be prevented, look on ahead!

Through the howling sculptures,

Ever changing, we can't be sure,

What they are or what they've been,

Guessed it was Din,

We had no choice, for we were lost,

In a labyrinth of desert frost.

We let ourselves be led,

To life or death.

The shifting maiden led us to a place,

That was more than suitable for our race.

Golden castle, NO, fortress of sand,

Perfect place for the banned.

Our savior then disappeared,

Almost as if she had never been here.

Mirage or no, we were alone,

No one to rule our new-found throne,

Yet a seed had been sown.

A few years passed and He was born,

A glimpse of light we had no fear to explore,

Then it crumbled to dust in our hands,

A cruel joke left by the Goddess of the Sands!

Manipulated, cursed and hated,

All but faded, into evil,

Dare to travel here and you shall not leave!

No one enters our kingdom now,

And this is why we shut them out,

Foolish to come as all men are,

Wandered too far,

Commendable as it is,

If they make it to our fortress,

They cannot leave, no longer free,

Prepare to deceive.

With the Power of our Sand Goddess,

We will protect our priceless palace,

From tainted hands that want to have it,

They'll learn we don't forgive,

Beat them down, show we don't mess around,

Make them regret ever leaving their town,

Safety's a dream, no longer real,

So we must fight, pillage, and steal every day and all night.

All guards hurry get on the deck,

Search each crevice, leave no corner unchecked,

Find all intruders and eradicate them.

"Hey listen!" Ah, we've caught a man!

Watch him run and squirm, like a moldorm,

Thinks he can beat us, yet can't leave us,

Welcome to Gerudo Valley, forever your grave.
