Dare to be Free
Upon them shined the living light
From their nightmares they awakened
The choice was theirs:
To resume lingering between life and death
or dare to free themselves from desolation’s grip
and throw off the yoke of despair
For hours they weighed the risks
Then they shrugged their shoulders
and lifted their swords out of the dust
Their battle cry jolted the enemy’s ranks
Through the twilight they charged
The fiery arrows of Zornaden challenged their resolve
But their courage never faltered
and they fought their way over the crooked walls
Pouring out of the darkling city they cried, “Never again!”
Across the distance they fled and into the glare of lightning they melted
Some say the shadows of doubt devoured them
I prefer to believe they found refuge in their glorious uncertainty
