A Thousand Towers White - Dragonland

I raise up my head and gaze upon silvery seashores

With the sand on my feet and with the sun on my back

For days the coast leads my journey shining in the misty dew I see

There, a thousand spires

Glowing like fire in the sun

I see them rising o’er these open plains

And I know I shall remember forever

How I saw a thousand towers white

When young I was told

Of a city of might and of honour

An empire’s crown, as powerful as it was feared

And now as I stand before her

I set my eyes upon a waking dream

There, a thousand spires

Gleaming like ice in the sun

I see them rising o’er these open plains

And I know I shall remember forever

How I saw a thousand towers white

Mirrorlike gates stretch before me

Blazing serene in the dawn

Split open for vast lines of many men

I gaze beyond in bewilderment

Shattered hearts and dreams

Crushed by grievous tyranny

Crumbling homes and screams

Among corrupted industry

A sinister reign

Brother is turned against brother

Irrational fear enslaved the dwarves and the elves

What lies beyond such opression?

Shining towers cast a shade on me

There, a thousand spires

Glowing like fire in the sun

But I see no honour in these broken men

Yet I know I will remember forever

How I saw a thousand towers white
