"Acolytes, join me in the Ode to Dawn," Germot commanded as he took his place in the sacred chapel, standing behind a gilded altar and stretching his arms out wide, as if he intended to embrace his entire congregation.
"We lift our hearts, we lift our hands,
We lift our voices to the Light.
Oh faithful people of this land,
We join together our hearts in Light"
The Head Priest had to repeat the first verse of the Ode to Dawn twice, singing in a deep, resonant voice that commanded attention, before the acolytes positioned around the chapel joined in the song, calling upon the faithful to offer up their prayers and devotion. Once the acolytes had joined in, he moved on to the second verse, giving their power a purpose.
"Lord of Dawn and Morning's glow,
Let Your fiery radiance flow.
As Your Sun ascends on high,
Bring forth Your Light across the sky."
