NORTHA
-
We come from the gloom of the shadowy trailB
Out away on the fringe of the NightC
Where no man could tell when the darkness fellD
If his eyes would behold the lightC
To the NightC
To the NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of the NightC
Came the LightC
Came the LightC
Came the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
-
There are wanderers still without ever a guideE
Out there on the fringe of the NightC
They are bond and blind to their darkness resignedF
With never a wish for the LightC
To their NightC
To their NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of their NightC
Take the LightC
Take the LightC
Take the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC

SOUTHG
-
We come from the land of the blazing sunH
From the land that was blacker than nightC
From the white hot sand of the Great Dark LandI
Where Might was the only RightC
To the NightC
To the NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of the NightC
Came the LightC
Came the LightC
Came the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
-
There are sorrows still there is darkness stillJ
There are still gross wrongs to set rightC
There are grim black stains there are peoples in chainsK
To be loosed from the grip of the NightC
To their NightC
To their NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of their NightC
Take the LightC
Take the LightC
Take the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
-

EASTL

We come from the East from the glowing EastL
Where the Past with its hand of iceM
Still reaches across through its ages of lossN
And still holds the land like a viceM
To the NightC
To the NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of the NightC
Came the LightC
Came the LightC
Came the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
-
O the sorrowful ones of the caste bound landsO
How they long for the wider wayP
How they sigh in the gloom of their close barred tombQ
For the Light of the Coming DayP
To their NightC
To their NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of their NightC
Take the LightC
Take the LightC
Take the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
-
-
WESTR
-
We come from the Isles from the Western IslesS
From the isles of the sunny seasT
Where the smiles and the wiles with which Nature beguilesT
Are but shrouds for her tragediesT
To the NightC
To the NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of the NightC
Came the LightC
Came the LightC
Came the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
-
There is Darkness more deadly than Death itselfU
There is Blindness beyond that of sightC
There are souls fast bound in the depths profoundV
Of unconscious and heedless NightC
To their NightC
To their NightC
To the darkness and the sorrow of their NightC
Take the LightC
Take the LightC
Take the Wonder and the Glory of the LightC
