Where Dragons Fly

The way is long, time is too short
This little footpath seems never to end
Green are the trees, musk on the stones
How it looks strange this mystical world.
Sweet smelling rose, what do you hide
Behind your innocence red like my blood?

Hungry for victory, hungry for love
Love for the earth that made her son
Strong and invincible serving my cry
Go now and ride there where dragons fly

The rocks appear in front of me
When the first shadows prelude to dark
Near is your end, wild holy path
Open my eyes to what the sun hides
Beloved mountain what do you hide
Where does your river flow, I want to know

Hungry for victory, hungry for love
Love for the earth that made her son
Strong and invincible serving my cry
Go now and ride there where dragons fly

(Rhapsody)

Lessa's Ride

Black, blacker, blackest,
And cold beyond all frozen things.
Where is between when there is naught
To life but fragile dragon wings?

R: Cold as death, death-bearing
Stay and die, unguided.
Brave and braving, linger -
This way was twice decided.

A fleck of red in a cold night sky.
A drop of blood to guide them by.
Turn away, turn away, turn, be gone.
A Red Star leads the riders on.

R:

How shall they last the long journey
Lured on but by this woven star?
How can they find that which they seek
And make their way home from afar?

R:

What can they say to bring forward
The weyrfolk from another time?
Is hope merely illusion
That clings to life in desperate minds?

R:

Yet promise lives by those of heart-
Salvation lies within the song,
Revealed by Lessa, Weyrwoman -
There will be five weyrs strong!

R:
