We Are Legion

I am a daughter of earth and water,
And I shared a dance with the goddess,
The echo of a nymph,
At the edge of the water,
And the edge of the world,
They are calling,
Calling for the phoenix,
In imagine isle, the lonely isle,
The isle beyond time and freedom of longing,
Love beyond all love,
Longing for return,
Upon the sanguine shores we sing,
A song for the damned,
We are legion
