Their journey began
On a barren waste where the Reader arrived,
Afraid and alone.
When they arrived,
The Book of Rites awakened the Nightwings
And ignited the flame.
They follow the stars
Bound together,
Strands in a braid 'til the end.
We sing of the last
Of the Nightwings who
Having broken the cycle,
Shall live on in song.
Hedwyn was there,
And proved to all that he was no deserter
He stayed true 'til the end.
Captain Jodariel,
Keeping watch over all of the Nightwings
She stayed true 'til the end.
Rukey Greentail,
Small in size but vast in commitment
He stayed true 'til the end.
They follow the stars
Bound together,
Strands in a braid 'til the end.
The Moon-Touched Girl,
Hears the Scribes in the world all around her
She stayed true 'til the end.
Ti'zo the wise,
Ever faithful to the cause of the Nightwings
He stayed true 'til the end.
Sir Gilman the bold,
Ever in his quest, finding honor in glory
He stayed true 'til the end.
Pamitha Theyn,
Borne on guilty wings, ever seeking forgiveness
She stayed true 'til the end.
They follow the stars
Bound together,
Strands in a braid 'til the end.
Bound together,
Spirits tethered,
Strands unbroken,
Scribes awoken.
The great mastermind,
Volfred Sandlewood saw his plans turn to action,
He stayed true 'til the end.
The bog-dweller Bertrude,
Kept her foes at bay with her finest enchantments,
She stayed true 'til the end.
The reader at last,
Made the Nightwings whole, having bound them together,
They stayed true 'til the end.
They follow the stars
Bound together,
Strands in a braid 'til the end.
They follow the stars,
Bound together,
Strands in a braid 'til the end.
Now at the end,
As we bid farewell and return to the stars,
We shall find our way home,
We shall find our way home,
We shall find our way home.
