Into the white
The scent of fire behind
First steps to freedom are lighter than we ever knew
Called through the cold
We hold our daughters close
And sing to our sons
Change will surely come
Into the white
Broken faith leaves scars behind
We embrace them
Carry broken shackles by our side
Called through the cold
We hold our daughters close
And sing to our sons
Change will surely come
We left our prayers with our old gods
White hand, release
Leaves in the fading smoke
So easy to forget the voice that never spoke
Walking our own road
Each step, each breath
We are fighting for our lives
And we are losing every one
The things we gave up for a dream we are still waiting for
And still we hold on
In time
Into the white
The road is mine, and I am his
Our last steps as free men
Proud at the end. It comes to this.
Called through the cold
Road to a home we'll never know
We gave to our sons a heavy burdened hope
We left our prayers with our old gods
Hold on
Till dawn
Lost like our steps in snow
So easy to forget the way
The road we make, we own
Walking our own road
Each step, each breath
We are fighting for our lives
And we are losing every one
The things we gave up for a dream we are still waiting for
We were so young then
Firelight holds their peace
Sing farewell by smoke in the cold
We farewell the old
As they fall to silence
Acamar’s Redoubt
The spirit of good intention crushed beneath the weight of time and fear
The Thief watched. It’s all he knew
Nothing ever changes
But he had known Acamar. He had tasted truth. He knew River’s End would come
It was only a matter of time.
