"We are stardust.
We came from the stars and to the stars we shall return.
In the meantime, we remember these truths with our Wyrmsong.

The Breath of the Wyrm provides our voice.
The Scales of the Wyrm protect our substance.
The Wings of the Wyrm uplift our deeds.
The Fangs of the Wyrm gnaw our meanings.
The Horns of the Wyrm defend our customs.
The Claws of the Wyrm scratch our glyphs.
The Eyes of the Wyrm witness our triumphs.
The Tail of the Wyrm steers our memories.

Together, they sing : we sing."
