My sisters, come along with me, a Highguard slave I'll not be

The sky was split by a comet's flight

Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?
Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?

And I left that city where I'll no more abide

It may be a simple dream and nothing more
Still I'll set my course to that distant shore
Still I'll set my course to that distant shore


For I dreamed I travelled to a far country

Will you rise up my sisters, will you come with me?
