First Song of the Founding

Beneath great Pelor’s Eye's embrace,

In lands where sands and mem'ries trace,

Forgotten temple calls in dreams,

Its secrets lost in ancient streams.

Swallowed by endless dunes so wide,

Advent'rers sent by Zephyr's sight.

 

Chorus:

Oh winds, I hear you sing their name,

In the shadow, in the flame.

In halls below, awoke their fame.

Oh winds, I hear you sing of what became.

 

Great Princess Jasmin, eyes alight,

With mighty Raja at her side,

Through dust and time and secrets old,

She finds the tale that must be told.

 

Bold El-ahrairah, brave and true,

A ranger who the right path knew,

With Tohru, dragon fierce and wise,

They soar beneath the desert skies.

 

Chorus:

Oh winds, I hear you sing their name,

In the shadow, in the flame.

In halls below, awoke their fame.

Oh winds, I hear you sing of what became.

 

Salome dances, fierce and free,

In winds that whisper mystery.

She bends the earth, she calls the sky,

Westwind's Daughter, her spirit high.

 

Ibn-Al-Hadibi, quick of hands,

Finds treasures lost in shifting sands.

His senses sharp, his vision keen,

Finds traps and doors so far unseen.

 

Samira Bahar, learned and wise,

Her knowledge like a river flies,

Unlocking ancient temple doors.

A secret found, A city soars.

 

Chorus:

Oh winds, I hear you sing their name,

In the shadow, in the flame.

In halls below, awoke their fame.

Oh winds, I hear you sing of what became.

 

Bridge:

Oh the winds have whispered loud,

Of adventurers, both bold and proud,

Eternal Warden stood prepared,

Endowed by Gods, Against all odds,

They felled the Guard and broke his ward,

Destiny forged, victory declared.

 

Final Chorus:

Oh winds, I hear you sing their name,

In the shadow, in the flame.

In halls below, awoke their fame.

Oh winds, I fear you'll sing of what became.

 

Outro:

The temple's breath, the desert's song,

A future found where they belong.

And risen to the desert sky.

Shal'Azura, free and high.
