The Empire was vast, its shadow long and dark,
People cowered in fear before imperial might,
None could raise a hand, the terrible truth stark,
Bent, tired and broken they stared into the night.

To free the people out they strode, not to look behind,
Challenge sent, the cry went up that they would stand,
Aldan marched to battle on behalf of all mankind,
Imperial force would never take this land!
Empire reached out its hand, bright Aldan did fall
