Lyrics

Verse 1
Poor Gataro, Little Gataro
Hatched from his egg today
Knew no father, knew no mother
That's the Gataro way

One of a hundred, Little Gataro
Crawled in his nest, so vast
Brothers and sisters, most to be wiped out
Dwindling their numbers fast

Eat, grow big!
Little Gataro, life is brief!
Swim and dig!
There's no time for woe and grief

Poor Gataro, Little Gataro
One of the twelve alive
Most of his siblings, eaten or crushed
And more would fail to survive

Verse 2
Poor Gataro, Little Gataro
Delved into riverlands
Hissed at by Rippers, clawed at by Guardians
Heedless of their demands

Fleeing from others, Little Gataro
Strayed from the river's path
Ran up against the biggest Gataro
And faced Endaron's wrath

Find your place!
Little Gataro, aim for the sky!
Join the chase!
Else, you will starve and soon you will die!

Poor Gataro, Little Gataro
Finally found his role
First in line, defense to the south
The Ca'ial Brael patrol

Verse 3
Poor Gataro, Little Gataro
Met with his fate today
Doing his job, defending his river
That's the Gataro way

Raki arrived and Little Gataro
Did what he knew was best
Ran toward them, teeth at the ready
And failed life's final test

You've no chance!
Little Gataro, Raki have spears
Sword and lance
Victorious Raki, Hugs and cheers

Poor Gataro, Little Gataro
Speared and then dragged to town
Raki cubs did have you for dinner
And... you're no longer...
Around
