I, a transient shadow A serpent, the least among men But still my name is Ai?n It's graven with an iron pen Footprints of waves of sand A proof of your might Though my longing hibernates Footprints of thunder; I hail thee Spears to the sky The glimpse of shining armour
A vision of the latter days Archaic rites Unfolds the scripts of omens Our wisdom sails to force the sky We are transient shadows Serpents, the least among men But still out names are Ai?nios They're graven with an iron pen
