Aesis Lilim

Stone-white fortress of flowers of steel

ancient home it is for strangest of kin:

Silent warriors Lilim of name,

Fierce with weapons, solemn are in their faith.

All-Mother, the eldest, the wise,

Daughters, quick of hand, with steel in their eyes

Sweet Grand-daughters, to be taught the Code

Grand-Sons, in eight-of-years must go on their own

Judge not

Speak not, lest for true reason

Lie not

Deceive not

May truth alone leave your lips

Be wise

Be strong

Respect all, trust but Self

Each one

to Her own

Always keep your own counsel

Stone-white fortress of flowers of steel

ancient home is for strangest of kin:

Aesis Lilim, her path long and true

fought beside the heroes far-known and pure.

Remembering the words of All-Mother that day

when she was to be a Lily at last

"Tell us now what is to be your name

May you hold our Code pure-hearted and fast"

And always, always allow each soul to walk its own path

She is sorry for those she hurt

She regrets the ones she killed.

She is tired of being strong,

She is tired of all the fighting

Given the choice

She would not undo what She did

She would not undo what She is...

But the blade had two edges:

the one that hurt

for the one that did the hurting

Her body is broken

her spirit yearns to rest.

She is Aesis Lilim

and she is coming home.

Stone-white fortress of flowers of steel

ancient home is for strangest of kin:

Aesis Lilim, her path and hard

fought and fell in nameless battle so far.

No before me I see my journey's end

No before me lies the Reckoning Day

Aesis Lilim, this is my name

At long last I will come home to remain.
