Lullaby from Ashtan - Fly

-------------------------

In dreams you are completely free.
No one holds you back.
Free to do all that you want,
so spread your wings and fly.
Soar high upon the wind.

A dream's a beacon of the soul,
a guide upon your path.
It is up to you to find the way,
so spread your wings and fly.
Soar high upon the wind.

So give yourself over to sleep.
Find freedom in your dreams,
and they will help you find out how
to spread your wings and fly.
Soar high upon the wind

Lullaby from Cyrene - Frosty Flowers

------------------------------------

The sun has sunk below the mountains,
and the stars shine pale as ice.
You know that you will soon be sleeping,
lost in dreams, scary or nice.

The wind is sharp and icy,
and it's howling up a storm.
But you know you will soon be sleeping,
and your bed is soft and warm.

Though the winter seems austere,
and the cold sometimes brings pain,
while you sleep, the ice is painting
flowers on the window pane.

Dawn will bring a snowkissed world,
frozen under winter's reign,
and you will wake to frosty flowers,
flowers on the window pane.

Lullaby from Eleusis - A Forest Lullaby

---------------------------------------

The owl calls out his nightly song,
a forest lullaby.
His hollow voice sounds through the night,
it sounds so all alone.
The other birds are resting deeply,
quietly till dawn.
The Ithmia is fast asleep,
and soon you will be too.

Leaves rustle in the quiet night,
a forest lullaby.
Underneath them tengu's sleep,
comfortable and warm.
The moon peeks in through boughs above,
casting dreamy light.
The Ithmia is fast asleep,
and soon you will be too.

Lullaby from Hashan - Valnurana's Charm

---------------------------------------

The land is cloaked in darkness,
and the moon smiles in the sky.
It is time to sleep, my baby,
under Valnurana's charm.

Lord Twilight gave you a blanket,
to cover you throughout the night
As you dream of secret treasures,
blessed by Valnurana's charm.

Lady Ourania gave you a night-light,
soothing more than candlelight.
She will be your guide and anchor,
while you're under Valnurana's charm.

The night holds many wonders,
a lot of which are in your dreams.
It is time to sleep, my baby,
under Valnurana's charm.

Lullaby from Mhaldor - Sleep, Child

-----------------------------------

Sleep, child, and do not wake,
until the sun is up.
Sleep will make your body stronger,
and it heals your tired mind.

Sleep, child, and do not wake,
not even if you're scared.
Nightmares only make you stronger
as you suffer through the night.

Sleep, child, and do not wake,
until you're rested well.
A healthy mind in healthy body
helps you grow beyond your goals.

So sleep, child, and do not wake,
until the sun is up.
Sleep will make your body stronger,
and it heals your tired mind.

Lullaby from Shallam - Darkness Banned

--------------------------------------

Do not fear the gathering night,
nor your lack of clarion sight.
In your dreams the sun will shine:
darkness banned by inner Light.

Do not fear the wind outside
that snuffs out the candlelight.
In your dreams the candles shine:
darkness banned by Light inside.

Do not fear a thing tonight,
but let faith bring you delight.
In you dreams a fire will shine:
darkness banned by Light Divine.
