Ishalem

Ishalem, Ishalem, Ishalem
 Ancient city of legends and hope
 Ship upon a lost shore
 Sacred faiths tied to one another
 Strain against each other.
 Walls enclose and yet divide
 Sow the gold of glory,
 Feed the fires of faith,
 Claim the heart, the heart of truth,
 Reap the harvest of hate.
 Ishalem, Ishalem, Ishalem
 Streets are scoured clean by salty winds
 Windows glitter like colored gems
 Turrets sparkle with gold
 Canals like silver ribbons
 Lead us to the heart of all
 Sow the gold of glory,
 Feed the fires of faith,
 Claim the heart, the heart of truth,
 Reap the harvest of hate.
 Pilgrims journey to behold you,
 Home of wisdom, pure and true,
 Even eagles flying high
 They can't see all your majesty.
 Towers rise beside the sea
 Standing guard against our foes
 No merchant can buy you
 No scholar can know you
 No priest can bend your will
 No ...
 Sow the gold of glory,
 Feed the fires of faith,
 Claim the heart, the heart of truth,
 Reap the harvest of hate.
 A careless spark and ready blame
 Consume the ancient walls in flame.
 And so the wae begins ...
