Lyric

Long ago, under distant moons

A mother stood by the flames

She whispered to the night wind

As if afraid someone might hear

Vaj lo'laH

SoH... batlh jIH

Nor conquest

But for your breath

Warm and unguarded against my chest

She felt something bloom —

Soft, unbidden

And wondered if it was weakness

But you sighed, small and trusting

PuqloD

(My son...)

Sleep now

YIQong

(Sleep, my son...)

My little honor

Tiny spark against the dark

Let them never see

How deeply I would break

For you

SoH... batlh jIH

Sleep, my light

Even if stars call you away

Your blood sings back to me

Fight —

Live your battle

But come back with breath

Vaj lo'laH

(Vaj lo'laH)

Vaj lo'laH

Then, in the dark where no eyes watched

She pressed the pendant to her lips

"This will guard you

Kov’larite — forged by storms, never broken

It carries your blood

Your house

The silent oath of your line

Do not shatter

Bend

Return

SoH

(My son...)

SoH... YIQong

(Sleep...)

Return to me

Even if you must crawl through the void."

Long ago, under distant moons

A mother stood by the flames

She whispered to the night wind

As if afraid someone might hear

Vaj lo'laH
