Nine nights we ride through darkness
Ravine, unseen by eyes
Conquering night, no slowing
To the river's divide
And our world has been shattered
Now we beg for reprise
The root into and through, go
Beneath aurelian crown
Footfalls like thundering armies
The pale, the frail, the found
And she will advise
But will she provide?
A sliver of light
Hope for the world, penance sublime
If all the blades of grass on the earth
And all the leaves of the trees concilate
Then what will be what is sought is returned
And the chance that your fears will be stayed
But the one that you know as the thief
Against men, gods & stars - will not sway
Be the last of this earth incomplete
Then the one who would give, will now take away
Arrive with your hands empty
Return without reward
Unrest, protest and churning
Ancient script now unfurled
