Into The White

Into the white

The scent of fire behind

First steps to freedom are lighter than we ever knew

Called through the cold

We hold our daughters close

And sing to our sons

Change will surely come

Into the white

Broken faith leaves scars behind

We embrace them

Carry broken shackles by our side

Called through the cold

We hold our daughters close

And sing to our sons

Change will surely come

We left our prayers with our old gods

White hand, release

Leaves in the fading smoke

So easy to forget the voice that never spoke

Walking our own road

Each step, each breath

We are fighting for our lives

And we are losing every one

The things we gave up for a dream we are still waiting for

And still we hold on

In time

Into the white

The road is mine, and I am his

Our last steps as free men

Proud at the end. It comes to this.

Called through the cold

Road to a home we'll never know

We gave to our sons a heavy burdened hope

We left our prayers with our old gods

Hold on

Till dawn

Lost like our steps in snow

So easy to forget the way

The road we make, we own

Walking our own road

Each step, each breath

We are fighting for our lives

And we are losing every one

The things we gave up for a dream we are still waiting for

We were so young then

Firelight holds their peace

Sing farewell by smoke in the cold

We farewell the old

As they fall to silence

Acamar’s Redoubt

The spirit of good intention crushed beneath the weight of time and fear

The Thief watched. It’s all he knew

Nothing ever changes

But he had known Acamar. He had tasted truth. He knew River’s End would come

It was only a matter of time.
