about

Down to the ancient gorge, they descend to the river. The warrior band part the reeds and take the skin boats out to the ships. The lutes play a farewell. They then take the ship to find the source of the scream which has begun to reverberate against the steep cliffs around them. The echoes are disorientating. The men get into the rhythm of their rowing, and the ship captains begins to sing.

lyrics

Row! Our arms like twisted trees. Spears - that hunt the dead sun's scream
Though the road is long, and the night denies
We have strength to set the sky alight

Pull on the oars! Row hard upstream! Follow the scream!

We have put our faith in our hands, and the gods will help you for that.
Watch the swoop of crow, silent sounds of deer
We have strength to bind the night with fire

( The boats glide to a resting place beneath cliffs riddled with cave entrances. This is the source of the screaming. The youngest lad, Barton, reaches for his sword. Thane puts a hand on his arm, and silently bids otherwise )
