Once We Were

Once we were
In our peace
With our lives
Asured

Once we were
Not afraid
Of the dark

Once we sat
In our kingdom
With hope
And pride

Once we ran
Through the fields
With great
Strides.

We held
The fade
And the
Demon's flight

So far
From our children
And from our lives

We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way
Of life

Once we raised
Up our chalice
In victory

Once we sat
In the light
Of our dreams

Once we were
In our home-land
With strength
And might

Once we were
Not afraid
Of the night

We held
The fade
And the
Demon's flight

So far
From our children
And from
Our lives

We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way
Of life
