Oranseri (Song)

Written by Malcón i Dyrelnos i Erigo, in the position of High Bard of the Empire.

I left many moons ago Left the Dust and Glass and Flame for the sea My restless heart it wandered so To seek out shores unknown to me

To take a crew and make my name To sail on to Serenity I left many moons ago My beautiful Oranseri

Oranseri Oranseri It calls to me Oranseri

My father, generous and loud Bid me fair winds and Prosperity My brothers, duty-bound and proud Estranged and stubborn as can be

My mother who made this place her home This land so young, so strange so free Too full of pain and faith and love For me and for Oranseri

Oranseri Oranseri It calls to me Oranseri

So I sailed long and sailed far To the place my mother left behind Upon Asavean sands A noble calling I would find

I met my love and took her cause And forged a life worth more than mine From unseen chains we wrought to right A wrong to last the test of time

So I was not there when Grendel came I was not there while we bled I know not whence my family came To burn my shame if they had fled

The waves they took my land and pride They drowned my home and history The Dyrelnos name has all but died In what is left In what is left of Oranseri

Oranseri Oranseri It calls to me Oranseri

Oranseri Oranseri It calls to me To set her free

Oranseri Oranseri It calls to me Oranseri
