Lyrics: Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, Banri Oda
Vocals: Susan Calloway
Sing a song of dawn
Dawn, the day reborn
Breathe deep of the dawn before the storm
This hearth
This home
Wrested forth from tired fingers
Bathed in blood
And sealed in stone
Souls scarred
Twelvefold
Beckoned by the bells of vengeance
Spirits bold
A lover lost
A family torn
A solemn pyre raised to rouse the slumb’ring heavens
Fire in your eyes
Fire in your hearts
Steeled as you sound the horns of war
Yet know the cost
for who shall mourn
When light is quenched that another might burn brighter?
Let not the rays
Of justice blind
E’er trust in grace and she shall guide
Soft is the breeze that can set a petal free
And yet ’tis the storm that doth see the petal soar
High o’er the trees in the throes of liberty
’Til unstirring skies consign her to memory
One kingdom’s fall is another kingdom’s freedom
One sovereign’s war is another sovereign’s peace
One mother’s pride is another mother’s sorrow
Their tears both soak the land that they love
Two lives
Two swords
Given in to shadowed whispers
Wicked words
Pray tell me true--
Doth louder toll
A rival’s cry
Or the oaths that spur her onward?
Your time is come
A choice bestown
Tonight, for unsung sins atone
This night, you need not walk alone
