(ahhhh) Out of the shadows,
a spark in the cold
A long road is winding,
an ancient tale told
Nine go in silence,
where dark forces grow
Under the mountain
where cold rivers flow
Keep to the path in the fading light
Hope is a lantern
against the long night
Rise, oh white city,
under stars burning bright
Carry the fire
through the darkest of nights Stand in the breach
when the shadow-lands rise Look to the dawn
in the eastern sky
Fading like mist
in the forest of old
Crownless and nameless, yet truer than gold
One step together, the final hill climbed
Leaving the burden
of ages behind
Even the smallest can change what will be
Across the grey hills
and the endless grey sea (ahhh-aaahhh)
Rise, oh white city,
under stars burning bright
Carry the fire
through the darkest of nights
Stand in the breach
when the shadow-lands rise Look to the dawn
in the eastern sky
(home at last)
We will meet
in the green lands
again
