The Song of the Aged Man is one of the Bard Songs in Enderal. It tells the tale of the Aged Man and his manor.

Lyrics

Do you know the Aged Man
of whom no one knows from whence he came?
His house lies on the edge
of a solitary cliff.

Glow of death and pallid light
illuminate the dark of night
gleaming out the windows
of the Aged Man's abode.

If you batter at his door
say farewell to our world
For everyone who entered
never walked back on the road
from the Aged Man's abode.

Notorious, of wide-spread fame
yet no one knows him by his name
the Aged Man in his abode
on a solitary cliff.

Ghastly voices speak of pains
the blood is freezing in your veins.
Silent cries and wailing howls
are fading in the night.

If you batter at his door
say farewell to our world
For everyone who entered
never walked back on the road
from the Aged Man's abode.

Sometimes, when the moon is bright
you see him in the countryside,
accompanied by loneliness
abandoning his works.

If you then stroll in gloomy nights
and peer in cold and hollow eyes,
you've run across a wooden doll
carved by the Aged Man.

If you batter at his door
say farewell to our world
For everyone who entered
never walked back on the road
from the Aged Man's abode.
