A kongdomr of warriors, though rusted their swords

A kongdomr of voices, raised in hopeful song

A kongdomr of drakuns, forsaken, forgotten

A kongdomr of masks, neither young nor old

A kongdomr of faces, expectantly raised

To this new chance, a new age

A new Drottingr

Ilvana of legend

Rise, Warriors, Rise
