| [Prelude - solo cadenza]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Were it not for the shining motes gracing night's vision,
| |
| Elegant as it were, the Vault continuing its dance,
| |
| Were it not for a holly sprig blown, north, or south,
| |
| Unimportant as it were, its route only perchance,
| |
| How would I know it was Logosmas,
| |
| When my foes pay this morn no regard?
| |
| Like Siroccian soil, ages old is my toil,
| |
| Singing bells merely gild my guard.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Singing bells bring no rest for this bard.
| |
| | |
| | |
| [Verse one - solo]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Logosmas bells filled the city,
| |
| Not ceasing for Suffering's seige,
| |
| Reminding the guards of the season,
| |
| Who faithfully fought for their Leige.
| |
| An orphan forgotten in Chaos
| |
| Ignored Shallam's fierce infidels.
| |
| [Spoken]This child looked at me, so hopeful, beseeching.
| |
| Whence came the song of the bells?
| |
| | |
| | |
| [Chorus - full choir]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Blizzard of Logosmas, christens us all,
| |
| Each earth-ward blown teardrop like lace,
| |
| Staining white crimson, our treadfall of honour,
| |
| For Willing yet walk oft in grace.
| |
| The Four in Their Majesty guiding us on,
| |
| Integrity we must preserve.
| |
| With Logosmas bells singing merrily yet,
| |
| Celestial peals we will serve.
| |
| | |
| | |
| [Verse two - solo]
| |
| | |
| | |
| These bells were muted for a time.
| |
| Instead, the air rang with steel.
| |
| A warrior's soul, a layman's form,
| |
| Beside him all tripped in Thoth's reel.
| |
| Then off in the distance, a tolling of silver
| |
| Filtered through raiders' farewells.
| |
| [Spoken] So tired, he wept, for the sound mocked his soul.
| |
| Whence came the song of the bells?
| |
| | |
| | |
| [Repeat chorus]
| |
| | |
| | |
| [Coda - solo]
| |
| | |
| | |
| With Logosmas bells singing merrily yet,
| |
| A death knell, our foes will deserve.
