User:Pathian/Imperial Glory Song

put sing wistfully Imperial Glory;In memory of The Empire of the Seven-Pointed Star;A song written and performed by myself - Coralin Jasperstar, Imperial Fateweaver. pause 13

put sing regret The roads of Throne are blank and grey;A meager shadow of the glory days.;People are gone, the buildings decay;The knowledge and wonder long gone away. pause 14

put sing sadly Travel back in your minds eye;Imagine what was in days gone by.;Towering spires - palaces grand;Wiped away by time's cruel hand. pause 14

put sing Nine hundred and eight the year before;Lanival redeemed and saved our shores;The Empire began, new hope sprung forth;The races united, ajoined in the north. pause 14

put sing The Empire's gem, Throne City it stood;Ruling the land and keeping the good.;Sharing the Throne the races of seven;Their symbol a star as those in the heavens.; pause 14

put sing Moliko's Codex governed, policed.;While the Empire spread -;North, West, South, and East.;Academia flourished, achievements were grand,;While sorcery was outlawed, punished and banned.; pause 17

put sing curt Tezirah was hunted, finally killed;The guilds began forming, after blood had been spilled.;Progress continues as it's wont to do;The end of an era begins right on cue. pause 14

put sing regret Rioting starts, the populace dejected;Emperor Klyudor fights, but nothing's corrected.;Decay only worsens, the end ever-nearer;Visible to all, as a reflection in a mirror. pause 12

put sing Two thirty nine Lord Teiro attacks;Everyone had left, Regent Seylan was lax.;The time of Chaos begins and the Empire falls;Lanival rallies, some hear his calls. pause 14

put sing guard After the war the Imperial land was divided.;Five provinces created and left to be guided;By Ferdahls and Barons and even a Prince;And thus how the realms have been ruled ever since. pause 14

put sing Throne City abandoned lay silent and still;Reclaimed by the Moon Mage, rebuilt by our will.;A shell or a husk of it's former splendor;The lunar guild became it's lone defender. pause 14

put sing Protected by magic and hidden away;Shrouded by mists near Faldesu's spray.;The gem of Throne City patiently waits;For its precious turn to be risen by fate. pause 14

put sing Now those that still dwell here are lone scholars and thieves;They roam the stark quiet walking streets strewn with leaves.;Lost in the ruins or hidden in trees;You may feel their presence or it could be the breeze. pause 14

put sing History, magic, and lore at arm's length;Read the lunar accord and see the guild's strength.;Y'shai will protect you as you roam the roads;Witness in awe what time can't erode. pause 14

put sing hopefully A new day shall dawn for Throne once again;The streets will be filled with women and men.;Imperial Glory shall never expire;Its legacy lives on as one we admire. pause 14

put sing soft Remember the Empire its knowledge and might;Restore what once was, and learn from its plight.
