Chant of Light 2

With passion'd breath does the darkness creep. It is the whisper in the night, the lie upon your sleep. -Transfigurations 1:5

The one who repents, who has faith, Unshaken by the darkness of the world, She shall know true peace. -Transfigurations 10:1

Many are those who wander in sin, Despairing that they are lost forever, But the one who repents, who has faith Unshaken by the darkness of the world, And boasts not, nor gloats

Over the misfortunes of the weak, but takes delight In the Maker's law and creations, she shall know The peace of the Maker's benediction. The Light shall lead her safely Through the paths of this world, and into the next.

For she who trusts in the Maker, fire is her water. As the moth sees light and goes toward flame, She should see fire and go towards Light.

The Veil holds no uncertainty for her, And she will know no fear of death, for the Maker Shall be her beacon and her shield, her foundation and her sword. -From Transfigurations 10 (verse unknown)

O Maker, hear my cry: Guide me through the blackest nights Steel my heart against the temptations of the wicked Make me to rest in the warmest places.

O Creator, see me kneel: For I walk only where You would bid me Stand only in places You have blessed Sing only the words You place in my throat

My Maker, know my heart Take from me a life of sorrow Lift me from a world of pain Judge me worthy of Your endless pride

My Creator, judge me whole: Find me well within Your grace Touch me with fire that I be cleansed Tell me I have sung to Your approval

O Maker, hear my cry: Seat me by Your side in death Make me one within Your glory And let the world once more see Your favor

For You are the fire at the heart of the world And comfort is only Yours to give. -Transfigurations 12:1-12:6

Foul and corrupt are you Who have taken My gift And turned it against My children. -Transfigurations 18:10

Maker, my enemies are abundant. Many are those who rise up against me. But my faith sustains me; I shall not fear the legion, Should they set themselves against me. -Trials 1:1

Maker, though the darkness comes upon me, I shall embrace the light. I shall weather the storm. I shall endure. What you have created, no one can tear asunder. -Trials 1:10

Though all before me is shadow, Yet shall the Maker be my guide. I shall not be left to wander the drifting roads of the Beyond.

For there is no darkness in the Maker's Light And nothing that He has wrought shall be lost. -Trials 1:14

Draw your last breath, my friends, Cross the Veil and the Fade and all the stars in the sky. Rest at the Maker's right hand, And be Forgiven. -Trials 1:16

Chanter Devons ------------------ And Eileen spoke unto the masses, "My hearth is yours, my bread is yours, my life is yours. For all who walk in the sight of the Maker are one."

Let all repeat the Chant of Light. Only the Word dispels the darkness upon us.

A learned child is a blessing upon his parents and onto the Maker.

And so Rajmael in the heathen temple recanted. "Speak only the Word; sing only the Chant. Then the Golden City is thine," spoke Andraste.

What hath man's sin wrought?

Let him take notice and shine upon thee, for thou has done His work on this day And the stars stood still, the winds did quiet, and all animals of earth and air held their breath And all was silent in prayer and thanks.

Though stung with a hundred arrows, Though suffering from ailments both great and small, His Heart was strong, and he moved on.
