Lessa's Ride



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

CHORUS:
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.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

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?

[ Repeat Chorus ]

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

[ Repeat Chorus ]

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

[ Repeat Chorus ]
