Yet another piece from the Insularis project that Shastacat and I are continuing to work on.

Indeed, Shastacat shares the copyright on this one, as Immortal Shasta (aka Shasta-Bilava) is a character of his creation.

In the world of Insularis, Shasta-Bilava can be seen as somewhat of a Christ figure.

Likewise, as the piece is supposed to represent a simple, home-spun folk song, I tried to leave the meter and rhyme a bit rougher than I would generally feel comfortable with.
