A Thousand Towers White
With the sand on my feet and with the sun on my back
For days the coast leads my journey shining in the misty dew i see
There, a thousand spires
Glowing like fire in the sun
I see them rising o'er these open plains
And i know i shall remember forever
How i saw a thousand towers white
When young i was told
Of a city of might and of honour
An empire's crown, as powerful as it was feared
And now as i stand before her
I set my eyes upon a waking dream
There, a thousand spires
Gleaming like ice in the sun
I see them rising o'er these open plains
And i know i shall remember forever
How i saw a thousand towers white
Mirrorlike gates stretch before me
Blazing serene in the dawn
Split open for vast lines of many men
I gaze beyond in bewilderment
Shattered hearts and dreams
Crushed by grievous tyranny
Crumbling homes and screams
Among corrupted industry
A sinister reign
Brother is turned against brother
Irrational fear enslaved the dwarves and the elves
What lies beyond such opression?
Shining towers cast a shade on me
There, a thousand spires
Glowing like fire in the sun
But i see no honour in these broken men
Yet i know i will remember forever
How i saw a thousand towers white
