The night was burning low along the skyline, Embers drifting like they knew my name. I stood alone, the weight of my people on me, Listening for the end that never came. But through the smoke, a sensor ping was heard A memory we thought we would never hear. The Clan we lost to time and whispered legends Returned with winds that felt like they could glow. And the air grew sweet around me, Like a promise in the room. Oh, I whispered to the shadows “Are you salvation… or our doom?” it was a sound like thunder, rolling past me in what felt like fate. Oh, the long‑lost ship of a Clan returning, Turning every fear to something safe. And when the battle faded, We opened every gate and let them in. Oh, the night turned soft and golden When the long‑forgotten ship came home again. Their Commander stepped ashore with quiet power, A warmth that settled deep beneath my guard. He bowed to me as though I was his blessing, And suddenly the night felt less than hard. We led them through the gates toward celebration, Torchlight painting honey on their skin. The women of my city gathered near them, Grateful hearts inviting something gentle to begin. And the music wrapped around us, Like a hand that knows your name. Oh, I felt the world grow softer Nothing left that stayed the same. It was a sound like thunder, The sound before a mighty storm would break. Oh, the long‑lost ship of the Clan returning, Turning every fear to something safe. And as the tables filled with laughter, And the wine warmed every breath we shared Oh, the night turned soft and golden, As we welcomed every warrior there. Under velvet skies, the city shimmered, Drums like heartbeats humming low and slow. Hands reached out in quiet invitation, Whispers drifting sweet as afterglow. And I felt the Commander’s eyes upon me A warmth that asked without a single word. I answered with a smile, soft and certain, Like a song you feel before it’s ever heard. It was the sound of thunder, My heart bursting with renewed life and hope. Oh, the long forgotten ship of the Clan returning And the night became a world we never knew. When the music faded softly, And the dawn crept in to kiss the sky… Still my heart kept singing gently “The long forgotten clan … has come back home.”
