... in the inns, in the guild halls, at the Life Monuments, on the battlefield ... (The name of the tune is "Morning Song.)
Let not the light from darkness flee,
the torch turn dim and fade;
meet not the dark on bended knee,
but face it with your blade,
meet not the dark on bended knee,
but face it with your blade.
Be steadfast at the fall of night,
beholding darkness rise;
for courage comes from Cory's light,
reflected in your eyes,
for courage comes from Cory's light,
reflected in your eyes.
Yes, courage comes from Cory's light
and strength from Ben's right hand,
and every goddess jewel-bright
sends blessing to our land,
and every goddess jewel-bright
sends blessing to our land,
and each enchanter's mighty spell
of lightning, ice, or fire,
each rogue who guards the shadows well
from danger grim and dire,
each rogue who guards the shadows well
from danger grim and dire,
and clerics calling out for aid
and healing from on high,
and warriors each with shining blade
and loud-voiced battle cry,
and warriors each with shining blade
and loud-voiced battle cry.
Therefore with all the strength and power
that gods and man bestow,
stand fast, unyielding, in the hour
of battle with our foe,
stand fast, unyielding, in the hour
of battle with our foe.
Let not the light from darkness flee,
the torch turn dim and fade;
meet not the dark on bended knee,
but face it with your blade,
meet not the dark on bended knee,
but face it with your blade.
