Upon the Wheel [DOMS: Act 0: Song 1] (Edited) by Cyberscroller

[ASHLANDER CHORUS]
Old ash cracks beneath our weathered wheels, 
Netch tread holds firm, it will not fail us— 
Sundered land, of those Velothi. 
off-casts, our mistaken kin.

These lands remember the blood that crossed it once.
Even as it cycles, our now repentant flesh 
What folly we carry, what deep sins, 
of our should-honor dead, hie we onward unflinching
Lest we stumble, and doing so fail, 
to uphold our ancestor debt.
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra! 
On behalf of Vel-oth-i we hie! 
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra!

[ASHIMASI]
Steps for those who missed my naming, who were there within her mother blood. 
For them do our wagons carry, our profligate band 
Whose vows were masks, cast off in fleet fitting past,

[ASHLANDER CHORUS]
for treasures, for titles even less persistent
 
[ASHIMASI]
We now mourn our names, until at last honor-bound debt ash may settle.

[ASHLANDER CHORUS]
All ahead in parallel,
On behalf of Vel-oth-i we hie! 
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra!
---

[ASHLANDER CHORUS - SHAHHAILU and USHARARI]
Red marks our sky, the sigh of last day's journey completes. 
Resolve we for camp soon, just some - few - turns - more— 
As we have, so too now shall we, 
persevere in our role. 
Our rout incomplete as, Velothi ash still mixes, 
midst Vivec's - City's - soil.

(Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra! )
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra! 
On behalf of Vel-oth-i we hie! 
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra!

[CHAMPION INTERJECTIONS]

[USHARRARI (Boethiah's Favored)]:
"Onward to duty! Don't pity cowardice, brewed in your blood!  
The burn of your sinew - is - lie - lurid - and false!"

[SHAHHAILU (Mephala's Favored)]:
"Brother I grant you, duty is key! So many still are we, 
no number we leave, might humble or falter, nor silence our pleas!  
Weaver weaves matter, so onward we hie !"

[ZANSHAH and SHAHZAN (Azura's Favored)]:
"Moon and Star guides us, through darkest of nights! 
With her even wretched may travel, with clearness of sight! 
Forget not your dun hue, and keep by her side!
She won't desert us, even as we be, undeserving as mites."

[ASHLANDER CHORUS]
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra! 
On behalf of Vel-oth-i we hie! 
Vel-oth-ra! Vel-oth-ra!
