Aurora's Prophecy

For Aeon have they slept,
Forgotten and Forsaken
And from their ageless sleep
The dreamers now awaken.

The woman eye shall lead
Come to show the way with sight
With her comes knowledge true
And the first of many lights.

Begat of light and dark
Midwife from beyond the pale
A child comes, newborn
With eyes that pierce the veil.

A merry prank, he thought,
The gamble he couldn't win
Wakes he now to frolic,
or redeem an age-old sin?

Within a sleepy vale
There lies the lion royal
His virtue spread like seedlings
It takes root within that soil.

Turn to her, ye weary
And she shall give you rest
Her passion and her love
The home fire warms you best.

Treachery destroyed them
They could never fall to war
Sword hand reaches empty
It awaits a falling star.
