					The thread that binds the bones

				Fire and water, air and earth
				Signs of elemental might
				Guide you ever from your birth
				Reveal mysteries to your sight

				Disciplines of help and harm
				Preserved from the ancient days
				Taught to you in spell and charm
				Will keep our venerated ways

					This is the path we follow
					As ships led by lodestones
					We shelter in the Hollow
					The thread that binds the bones

				Bolte and Keye and Locke and Seale
				Guardians you will always be
				Learn what wisdom will reveal
				Open up your eyes to see

				For as gifted as our kind
				May be, we know that it is just
				The thread we safeguard will unwind
				If we forget our sacred trust

					Remember not to misuse
					The power Nature owns
					To honor life, we must choose
					The thread that binds the bones

					We all have something to lose
					The thread that binds the bones
