Through Rauvin's misty banks she glides, her words a hopeful boon, With Moonbridge aglow, she arrives, her song a joyous tune. [Chorus] Alustriel comes calling, her radiance shining bright, Brings peace and hope to shadowed lands, A beacon in the night. To Waterdeep's bustling streets she carries her serene grace, Her voice weaves tales of harmony, of kin in every race. The halls of splendor bow to her, their feuds she does erase, And even the darkest alley warms beneath her tranquil embrace. [Chorus] Alustriel comes calling, her radiance shining bright, Brings peace and hope to shadowed lands, A beacon in the night. In Baldur’s Gate where tempers flare, where merchants fiercely vie, She whispers calm through crowded halls, her wisdom does untie. A city rife with strife finds ease beneath her watchful eye, As rivers flow, so do her words; old grievances pass by. [Chorus] Alustriel comes calling, her radiance shining bright, Brings peace and hope to shadowed lands, A beacon in the night. Oh, gem of the North, spread far and wide, Your magic a light to steer and guide, Through Silverymoon our sins subside. Alustriel, our love, our Pride. To Luskan’s windswept docks she steps, where pirates plot and scheme, Her presence stills the rocky waves, her words a summer dream. The Spellguard’s wards extend anew, her vision reigns supreme, And even the harshest hearts the beat the Lady will redeem. [Chorus] Alustriel comes calling, her radiance shining bright, Brings peace and hope to shadowed lands, A beacon in the night. So sing of Silverymoon’s bright star, who shines so ever bright, When Alustriel comes calling, the shadows flee her light.
