The Song of the Rising Sun

from Tales from the Tabletop by Seb Woodland

/

about

This song is about the Heralds of Light defeating the evil Frost Wizard, lifting his curse from the land, and rebuilding the world with hope in their hearts. Based on one of my earliest imaginary games, this story has always been special to me, and writing this song was a lot of fun.

lyrics

Rise companions, with the rising sun
Rise good strangers to the gleaming dawn
Rise from this nightmare, at last the night’s done
Rise, rise, for the night curse is gone

Let your tears fall, and let them be felt
Raise your fist high if you fought for what’s right
Let your hope kindle, and let the ice melt
Raise your voice high with the Heralds of Light

With the Heralds of Light (x4)

Rest in the warmth of the morning’s sweet light
Rest while the snow melts, upon a warm bed
Next to your fellows who joined in the fight
Rest living spirits, and those who are dead

Let your tears fall, and let them be felt
Raise your fist high if you fought for what’s right
Let your hope kindle, and let the ice melt
Raise your voice high with the Heralds of Light

With the Heralds of Light (x4)

Reach for the bricks that will form the foundation
Reach for the scabbard to comfort your sword
Reach for each other and brim with elation
Reach for the beauty of nature restored

Let your tears fall, and let them be felt
Raise your fist high if you fought for what’s right
Let your hope kindle, and let the ice melt
Raise your voice high with the Heralds of Light

With the Heralds of Light (x4)

We're the Heralds of Light (x4)
