Black, blacker, blackest
And cold beyond all frozen things
Where is between when there is naught
To life but fragile dragon wings?
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
Cold as death, death-bearing
Stay and die, unguided
Brave and braving, linger
This way was twice decided
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?
Cold as death, death-bearing
Stay and die, unguided
Brave and braving, linger
This way was twice decided
What can they say to bring forward
The weyrfolk from another time?
Is hope merely illusion
That clings to life in desperate minds?
Cold as death, death-bearing
Stay and die, unguided
Brave and braving, linger
This way was twice decided
Yet promise lives by those of heart
Salvation lies within the song
Revealed by Lessa, Weyrwoman
There will be five weyrs strong!
Cold as death, death-bearing
Stay and die, unguided
Brave and braving, linger
This way was twice decided
Cold as death, death-bearing
Stay and die, unguided
Brave and braving, linger
This way was twice decided
