[Verse 1] Green fire in the cavern air Steel buried in my back for years I knelt beneath her emerald chair Swore my blade to all her fears Gem-letters carved along my sword Old vows etched in every vein “Guard the glow Protect the hoard” Till the mountain spoke our name [Chorus] Rise My kin of Emrilia From the glowstone and the dust Trade the emeralds Trade the silver Turn your riches into trust By the Queen of Emerald Riches By the veins that made us strong Her creed of care is carved in crystal “We share our strength Or we are wrong” [Verse 2] I walked the tunnels counting crowns Veins of wealth that never see dawn Heard the rumble deep in the ground Ancient scales that we were raised on Luster Dragons taught us then “Claws are clean when hearts are kind Gold must circle Flow and mend Or it poisons in the mind” [Chorus] Rise My kin of Emrilia From the glowstone and the dust Trade the emeralds Trade the silver Turn your riches into trust By the Queen of Emerald Riches By the veins that made us strong Her creed of care is carved in crystal “We share our strength Or we are wrong” [Bridge] Hear the mountain breathing slow Whispered warnings in the stone “Keep your comfort Lose your soul Or lift the weak and save your own” I will carry vault and vein To the wounded To the torn Let our greed be ground to grain Feed the worlds that fed our ore [Chorus] Rise My kin of Emrilia Leave the glowstone for the sky Spend the emeralds Spend the silver Buy the broken time to rise By the Queen of Emerald Riches By the veins that made us strong Her creed of care The mountain’s teaching “We share our strength Or we are gone”
