Dragons of a Fallen Sun

(1)

War of Souls Volume 1

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

Song by the authors.

A note: This is the complete version found at the beginning, a shorter version is found on pages 470-471.

The day has passed beyond our power.

The petals close upon the flower.

The light is failing in this hour

Of day’s last waning breath.

The blackness of the night surrounds

The distant souls of stars now found,

Far from this world to which we’re bound,

Of sorrow, fear and death.

Sleep, love; forever sleep.

Your soul the night will keep.

Embrace the darkness deep.

Sleep, love; forever sleep.

The gathering darkness takes our souls,

Embracing us in chilling folds,

Deep in a Mistress’s void that holds

Our fate within her hands.

Dream, warriors, of the dark above

And feel the sweet redemption of

The Night’s Consort, and of her love

For those within her bands.

Sleep, love; forever sleep.

Your soul the night will keep.

Embrace the darkness deep.

Sleep, love; forever sleep.

We close our eyes, our minds at rest,

Submit our wills to her behest,

Our weaknesses to her confessed,

And to her we bend.

The strength of silence fills the sky,

Its depth beyond both you and I.

Into its arms our souls will fly,

Where fear and sorrows end.

Sleep, love; forever sleep.

Your soul the night will keep.

Embrace the darkness deep.

Sleep, love; forever sleep.
