Be still

Ineia 9

Written while bone weary, after a day slogging through the high altitude, midwinter mud. The party was just two days from Sothalkarr. The moon was nearly full as the rest of the party fell into exhausted sleep and Ineia wrote. 

Be still and know my quaking soul  

of hunter fierce and strong  

Who will come down to cleanse the earth  

of the dark and evil throng.

Be still and know my quaking soul

Of Ebram recalled from wandering 

His shining chariot bringing light

To those in darkness suffering 

Be still and know my quaking soul 

Of those keeping oaths of heaven

For your life is hid in theirs 

Orusen and Lanenomen

Be still and know my quaking soul  

of Raos polestar ruling

Bright champion under starlight  

With love, bright mercy burning  

Be still and know my quaking soul  

of makers beauty bright

Whose burning love brings hope  

To those who languish in the night.

Be still and know my quaking soul  

of end of time and death  

Your makers wrath will overflow  

By light destroy darkness
