Shadow Blade Lyrics: Thorn's Hymn
Thorn’s Hymn
Ta eche af ge’daerje tojvregenod ijetchavalod af ge’kippel knoru be’knede…
Give refuge to a wayward rider intent upon his path
In the solace of solitude I surrender slowly ceasing
My resisting of this sweetly-singing call to rest
Sweetly singing Savior singing me towards my rest…
Thine is the light—my guide through the night
Sun, moon, and stars—Thou hold’st in Thy arms
Under Thy care—I trust they are there
Angels and stars—demons and scars
All beckon me—but none rival Thee
Gather Thy flock—that no man might mock
Thy unbounded might—that pierceth the night
Even for me…
I cry to Thee, Thy face for to seek
Abandon not Thy delinquent child of war
No fit sacrifice for Thy pure Temple Mount could I be
For bespoilt within and without I would be without Thy grace
Capture me,
Comfort me!
Hear me,
Strengthen me!
Through Thy gates I’ll joyful stride
Thy bliss awaits when ebbs my tide
When distant Jordan flow’th o’er me
When drawn within, the blind shall see
Reveal Thy sacred will to me
That I may live as pleaseth Thee
Throughout Thy Kingdom I implore
Thy will be done forevermore
And where I serve for Thee
I am set free.
Zusegnit, zie orn ge'veldek, amen.
Forever and ever, amen.

Description
This is a set of lyrics I've been working on writing and setting to music for...a year and eight months. They're intended to come from the perspective of Thorn, one of my characters from The Way of the Shadow Blade--so there are certain lines and sentiments you would not expect to see were, say, Rue, Kalle, or Erik doing the singing.
This song is a prayer--Thorn is a man of very, very deep faith and that faith is inseparable from who he is.
In this, you also get to hear your first taste of Aramansch, the main language spoken by the characters of The Way of the Shadow Blade.
To hear how it sounds with its proper musical setting, please visit this link:

That is so beautiful.. I can't describe it with words, really :)
A certain fav :) consider the music faved as well, even though it's not possible 
I think this really brings out the emotion Thorn must feel, but is mostly hiding from others
you sing very well :)
