Heritors of Arcadia

On an ocean of stars

Lo, an angel they see

Untouched by the war that they waged

Laid low by their scars

A people wounded but free

Seek what lies beyond this dark age

The seasons they turn, winter to spring

Dulling the pain and erasing the sting

The seasons turn, summer to fall

Time's warm embrace begins to heal all

On the wild at first light

The jasper lion will run

Hark, an anthem he drums, can you hear?

The people fresh from the night

Rise and listen as one

The land that they were promised is near

And though I am gone, just ash in the wind

One life surrendered so yours can begin

Courage my children, this is your song

I am the earth, I will make you strong

The world riven by pride repaired at last

And now its makers can be at rest

Our visions come to pass

The seasons they turn, memory fades

But when my name has been lost to the grave

I will sustain you year after year

I will protect you when dangers appear

And though I am gone, just ash in the wind

One life surrendered so yours can begin

Courage my children, this is your song

I am the earth, I will make you strong
