Her eyes were old when the world was young
Her words were bold and silenced everyone
She wielded power the music in her voice
Called for peace in the gift of song
Beware how you cry for war
Recall the tales Before the Before
Accusations were flung like sparks from a fire
And stung as they singed hair and skin
War is not the way of the Children of Light
This is not the time to begin
Beware how you cry for war
Recall the tales Before the Before
The true cost of war will be found
When your children lie dead on the ground
The Great War of Memory was so long ago
And a warrior must fight to be a man
But setting a fire not counting the cost
Scorches earth and destroys the clan
