/.\ Ariant, of Fire /.\

At the heart of our world,

Our city, our pride

At the heart of the streets

We love and deride

In the land where the spices whirl in the sky

Is the bright brimming spirit

Of joy blazing high

-

Swift dancers flinging

Silk ribbons run

Golden bells brightly ringing

Songs to the sun

Jubilant joy, no

Sweet drugged shame

Let us dance to the beat of

The great desert flame!

-

Look to the zenith and

Walk down the street

Sun-painted cobblestones

Under your feet

-

The kiss of sunlight

Cactus-dew shyness

Spread out, the rust-red

Throat-parching dryness

Bright metal flashes

Duels of thunder

Cloaked in the swells of

Deep scalding heat

-

Oh,

King Abdula and

Queen Areda—

All they bring is

Pain and fury!

-

Heart of our world,

Our city, our pride

Stands a castle with walls

And fountains of light

In the land of the empty

Broken lost sand

How does such an extravagant

Proud castle stand?

-

Silk ribbons running

Bells sing as one

Can you hear them, still ringing

Songs to the sun?

Dancing for freedom

Cries in our name

For our spirit, keep burning—

Long live Ariant's flame!

-

Blaze higher, burn to the sky!

The sky smiles proudly

Our Sand Bandits rising

Overthrow the rulers

A dark deadly game

Our deadly game…

-

A world of danger

Dark, ever burning

A hidden anger

An endless yearning

The rhythm of the

World swiftly turning

A change to come

A glorious flame

-

The thunder, asunder

Here under the skies,

And the bright burning blood red of

Dark vulture cries

In a world of deception

Injustice and lies

Our Ariant, the land of

The fiery sunrise.
