As fog of war settles in

As fog of war settles in
And darkness overtakes the light
The nightbird’s song brings hope
As the thunder rolls
And gears grind slowly on
The hero boldly rises by day and night
As the fire rains
And silence is cracked
The people’s will blooms in the dark
The silence becomes song
The seeds take root
The light pushes back
The hero rises
