The Hymn of the Heartened Ones
The National Anthem of the Beastling States of Crystal Spires, the Hymn of the Heartened Ones is a Symbol of Spirean Victory and is a Patriotic Hymn of Crystal Spires.
History of the Hymn
During the Holy Wars in the Battle of Mephiste where the Knights of Serion were overwhelming the Order of Idealists who were exhausted and had been losing taste for all battle. It was then in the dark of night that the Order of Idealists decided to launch a surprise attack which pushed back the knights of Serion to their borders in the Human Homelands Where they never again won Mephiste. It was then when Forntian Cleric and Bard Shea Garahal came up with the Hymn of the Heartened ones as a rallying cry to all Forntians and all Spireans in times of victory. It is from this Hymn that the Spirean Motto was lifted.
Lyrics of the Hymn of the Heartened Ones
- The stars above the night sky
- tell the tale of grief and triumph
- The blood that stained the fields
- in the distance of Mt.Kultika
- Where the flames burned high
- and the ashes of the fallen join sunset
- Faced with death we cry "Victory"
- For strength will not fail us
- We stand strong, not as one,
- but as a whole, we sing Freedom
- Never one too small, or one too weak,
- we as a whole, cry Freedom
- We cried for revolution and gained our liberation,
- with courage, equality, and honor we sing
- In the distance the phoenix soars
- Watching over the snow-capped mountains of the north
- Safe-guarding the valleys misted in shadow
- Whispering in the wind to the pink sand shores
- Passing endlessly through the hourglass of time
- Faced with death we cry "Victory"
- For strength will not fail us
- We stand strong, not as one,
- but as a whole, we sing Freedom
- Never one too small, or one too weak,
- we as a whole, cry Freedom
- We have risen high and kissed the cloud-dense skies
- The gods continue to watch over our souls
- May we forever find peace as a whole
- May we never be bound by chains
- Reborn from the ashes,
- we arise steadfast as solid stone
