Words and Music: Aryana
Born between castes, I search for my way
I was trained to be priestess, they taught me to pray
But within my heart a voice called me to fight
From this time, in praying I found less delight.
The old-fashioned temples with their crystal halls
Sometimes they seemed me to be prison walls
The silence I favoured in days long gone by
Now darkens my mind and my soul cannot fly.
Then I heared of the Rangers, this army of old,
Created by Valen himself, I was told
To protect and to save, to watch and to fight
They found on compassion, respect and delight.
To stand against Shadows, an Army of Light
Now my heart knew which way was the right
To follow the One, to serve at her will
This was my way and I'm bound to it still.
You know how I feel, Mayaan, dearest friend
This cruel war has to come to an end
Although I am frightened, we both know it's right
To face now the Shadows, to bring back the light.
Now Valen may guide me, the Shadows are near
I can see their strange ships and their song I can hear
Entil'zha's order will be law to me
'Though my first and my last this battle may be.
For I am a Ranger and my life I have vowed
To the One who will lead us to fight strong and proud
I will enter the darkness, my watch I will keep
'Til all will be gone and in light we all sleep
(Spoken:)
Entil'zha veni.
In Valen's Name.
Inspired by Babylon 5, of course. Dedicated to Tindómerel, who is also known as Kadroni or Anla'shok Mayaan.
