Promise of Shadows

Prisoners of time you are; prisoners of time you have been
We free your chains, we set you on the path
Of times past and times future.
Come the snows of darkness, the winds of deceit
The walls that tumble and fires that burn
Times of dragon breath, chimera wings
Of ki-rin flight, and chaos song
When light falls and darkness reigns
Terror screams and pain remains.
Dark times call listen you well
When words we speak, this message to tell
Come the return of dreams that teach
The lessons you must learn
Of friends that were and foes that are
Children of stars, scarred and worn
Chained by fate, destinies unbroken
Warriors unwilling, spirits of valor,
Given two choices death or dishonor.
