We've been here for ages passed; we've seen shattered mask and heart; we've heard the purest of cries. We've known more one-night stands than loyalities; we've sobbed blood rather than tears. We've stood strong against the tidals of change, those of us loyal to our roots have stood strong against the cynicals. We welcome the un-trained, we unite rather than compete. We have wings on our heels, we have gold in our blood. Our eyes are Mother Of Pearl harvested from the deepest ocean, our hooves the purest of coals harvested from the deepest of mines. We are one in race; we are one in soul. We are an army of many guarding the fortress that over years of companionship we have built strong and time-worthy. Our walls have eyes and our shadows ears; no one entered with no one knowing. Yet we welcome you. We welcome you.
