Imperial Glory 05/29/2008 12:02 PM CDT
I'd like to share this song with you, a friend of mine wrote it. It's one I sing quite a bit myself, when in the performing mood. I was wondering how you go about getting a song put on a scroll also.


You wistfully sing in a mezzo-soprano voice:

"Imperial Glory
In memory of The Empire of the Seven-Pointed Star
A song written by - Coralin Jasperstar, Imperial Fateweaver."


"The roads of Throne are blank and grey
A meager shadow of the glory days.
People are gone, the buildings decay
The knowledge and wonder long gone away."


"Travel back in your minds eye
Imagine what was in days gone by.
Towering spires - palaces grand
Wiped away by time's cruel hand."


"Nine hundred and eight the year before
Lanival redeemed and saved our shores
The Empire began, new hope sprung forth
The races united, ajoined in the north."

"The Empire's gem, Throne City it stood
Ruling the land and keeping the good.
Sharing the Throne the races of seven
Their symbol a star as those in the heavens."

"Moliko's Codex governed, policed.
While the Empire spread -
North, West, South, and East.
Academia flourished, achievements were grand,
While sorcery was outlawed, punished and banned."

"Tezirah was hunted, finally killed
The guilds began forming, after blood had been spilled.
Progress continues as it's wont to do
The end of an era begins right on cue."


"Rioting starts, the populace dejected
Emperor Klyudor fights, but nothing's corrected.
Decay only worsens, the end ever-nearer
Visible to all, as a reflection in a mirror."



"Two thirty nine Lord Teiro attacks
Everyone had left, Regent Seylan was lax.
The time of Chaos begins and the Empire falls
Lanival rallies, some hear his calls."


"After the war the Imperial land was divided.
Five provinces created and left to be guided
By Ferdahls and Barons and even a Prince
And thus how the realms have been ruled ever since."



"Throne City abandoned lay silent and still
Reclaimed by the Moon Mage, rebuilt by our will.
A shell or a husk of it's former splendor
The lunar guild became it's lone defender."


"Protected by magic and hidden away
Shrouded by mists near Faldesu's spray.
The gem of Throne City patiently waits
For its precious turn to be risen by fate."


"Now those that still dwell here are lone scholars and thieves
They roam the stark quiet walking streets strewn with leaves.
Lost in the ruins or hidden in trees
You may feel their presence or it could be the breeze."


"History, magic, and lore at arm's length
Read the lunar accord and see the guild's strength.
Y'shai will protect you as you roam the roads
Witness in awe what time can't erode."



"A new day shall dawn for Throne once again
The streets will be filled with women and men.
Imperial Glory shall never expire
Its legacy lives on as one we admire."



"Remember the Empire its knowledge and might
Restore what once was, and learn from its blight."
