Funeral Song – Angreal – Soldier – Al Raabist
Born of light, fair child,
Brought unto this world by boldest whim to spread fair and far,
A most beautiful charm now,
Erst not since broken by the befouling of flesh.
Light Maker, Light Taker,
Accept in the daylight this child’s own sun,
That we may bask now,
Bask in the light of this child’s kind sun.
Spirit, we thank thee.
Spirit, we honor thee.
Spirit, we implore thee,
Forget not thy family,
Watch o’er them fully,
That they might be at peace.
Funeral Song – Human – Soldier – Al Raabist
Then came the stranger who sat at our table,
A wandering soul for whom we had no fable,
But Light Maker blessed me, and I addressed thee,
please join this feast with our blessing.
Through the night we drank and sang with no ire,
Come the morn we broke bread by the same fire,
we were blessed then to know thee,
A light unlike our own but warm and comforting.
Come eve’ again and the darkness doth encroach,
The cold come to bind our hearts in our throats,
But warmth and love we found within thee,
Gave whole of yourself without reserve or flagging.
Spirit, we thank thee.
Spirit, we honor thee.
Spirit, we implore thee,
Forget not thy family,
Watch o’er them fully,
That they might be at peace.
