Child of darkness
Borne of night
Guard my secrets
From the light

Child of light
Guardian of my way
Watch over my children
As they pray

Child of earth
With fertile lands
Provide for my children
Help them stand

Child of wind
From four corners blow
Scatter my seeds
That my flora may grow

Child of fire
Warm and bright
Comfort my children
Through the cold dark night

Child of rain
Nourish my lands
That my children may live
By the labor of their hands

Child of moon
Mistress of night
Teach my children
Wrong from right

Child of sun
Master of day
Warm my children
And light their way

Child of water
Sustainer of life
Free my children
From war and strife

Child of sky
Vast and wide
Watch over my children
Be their guide

Child of stone
Keeper of legend and lore
Whisper to my children
Of the time before

Child of love
Greatest of all
Unite my children
Lest they should fall

Gaea looked upon what she had conceived
And with her creation she was well pleased
But Chaos roared in fury and pain
Your order will not stand when my destruction reigns

Chaos touched her splendid creation
And corrupted the work of every nation
He spewed forth horrors of abomination
And set out to destroy Gaea's creation

Child of sickness
Go forth and spread
Attack her children
Until they are dead

Child of sorrow
Bring suffering and pain
Destroy their hope
Drive them insane

Child of famine
Use war and strife
Destroy her crops
That her children may die

Child of suffering
Bring disease and despair
Crush their faith
Silence their prayers

Child of depression
With misery and abuse
Distract her poets
From hearing their muse

Child of hate
Greatest of all
Divide her children
And they will surely fall
