Here Comes the East
By Aneleda Falconbridge

Here comes the East with banners raised! 
Join your voices, sing her praise. 
Shout to the sky in proud displays! 
Oriens victoriosus!

Look to the throne, the Eastern light
where crowning brilliance fills our sight. 
Beneath their rays our hearts ignite. 
Oriens victoriosus!

Look to our kin at battle's call. 
Eastern love holds each in thrall. 
Some will stay raised and some will fall. 
Oriens victoriosus!

Look to our homes, to fields and plows.
 Think on them while time allows. 
Ere  we come to fill our vows. 
Oriens victoriosus!

Look to the kith of Eastern lands. 
All created by their hands. 
This  is why she strongly stands. 
Oriens victoriosus!
