Beyond the Light - Vhaeraunite HymnI who wait beyond the lightI shall be the Hand of Night(All masks be one'til day be done)See webs torn and webs unmadeEnded by the Shadow's Blade(Their plots undoneThe web unspun)Blades in hand we stand and fightNight Above is ours by right(A Maskéd OneShall fear no sun)By our faith let shadows riseOver all beneath the skies(His will be doneFor we are one.)
