Our Silent Borders

Brothers, sisters! Let me into thy arms
Landlock me in purest soil

The wonder of all worlds, clad in radiant sun
Halls of images unsullied
Until those fateful days

Our towers shone, from dusk till dawn
Proud banners high, sigils of earth and endless Sky
All ye who fight with me, shall inherit glory as far as eyes can see
And if our paths do not converge
If I am spun from ruling all under the Sun
I'll have the firmament rend
And all this beauty, shall come to an end

Greyscapes, my veneer
Aim to paint eden into view
Outstretched, my reign runs deep
Coaxing bone, soul and sinew

I shall thrive in crumbling sheen
(And) Be the thirst to quench our seas
Stride alone to the great unknown
And bask in quiet longing
Haunting the ashlars of our silent borders

Praised be Father Time, who'll stand watch over my walls
For as long as He sees fit
Praised be mother pain, who must keep this darkness in thrall
Suspendend animation

I shall thrive in crumbling sheen
(And) Be the thirst to quench our seas
Stride alone to the great unknown
And bask in quiet longing
Haunting the ashlars of our silent borders

My word is Deplorable, so come what may
For with it, I conquered all

I shall thrive in crumbling sheen
(And) Be the thirst to quench our seas
Stride alone to the great unknown
And bask in quiet longing
Haunting the ashlars of our silent borders
