I come only after diseases and plague. I've a frightening beak, but I'm no bird so it's vague. I have a cane, though I'm not known to fall. I may be a bad omen but when you need me you'll call.

I wander blue cathedrals deep, where sunlight fades. I am a giant that breathes the air, my songs can travel miles through sea. Once hunted for my shining tears.

I have towers, but I do not have bells. I am known for my calls for prayers.

I ride with kings, though I wear no crown I march in rows, but never leave the ground Straight I advance, yet sideways I slay One humble step can change my fate one day

I am old and scattered, sought for and found, and once traded for on a road of silk. Ice fears me, noodles appreciate me. and lots of animals require me mixed in to live. Too much and you Na-ry be alive.
