Harper's Song

Harper's Song
Heed the words of this one
Who sings wisdom of ancients
See Red Star's gleaming sign
Feel the omens in your veins

Bow to Pern's Dragonriders
Lords of forgotten past
Hold's ignorant foolish sons
Shall pay lifes for disrespect

Believe in our songs, sons of Pern
We are the keepers of lore
Hide under shadow of dragonfire
We watch you, our hearts sore

Brothers since the Impression
Rise from the weyr, Dragonriders
Fly through threads raining down
Burn Red Star's evil seeds

Listen to the Harpers, careless ones
The legendary Pass is real
Threadfall will eat your souls
See your fate and its seal

A trail of flame on the grass
See them race through the smoke
Tear the air, o mighty Dragonriders
You are our only hope

Rise
Clouds your home, mighty ones
Cross the skies
Burn the grass where evil lies

Wind of the wing on your face
Glorious fleet swims in the sky
Salute them! Pern's proud sons
With a battle-cry

Believed in our songs, sons of Pern
We are the keepers of lore
Hide under shadow of dragonfire
We watch! Your hearts fill with joy
