Oh, Mighty!

This song, called "Oh, Mighty" or "The Mighty" is very popular in Arros. It is usualy sung during festivities in a group. Each region of the continent has a slightly different version of the song, where individual words may be swapted for something different, but most will recongnise the song anyways. While it is religious in nature, as it talks about Halin and other Choranian iconography, it is not officialy endorsed by the Choranian council and thus remains strictly a folk song.

A step after the other
His hand to his furs
and an eye to the sky

The path is layed
To the hills, he must go
His life's duty,
He shall complete

Along the forests
Along the rivers
He calls out
To his great master

"Are you still here?
Oh Mighty, won't you Guide me?
Please, bring this soul
To your heavenly Palace!"

A step after the other
His hand to his sword
and a single wary eye

The path is ended
His death, eminent
But his duty,
Is now complete

Through the monsters
Through the enemies
He runs foward
Into the light

"Tell me, Oh, Mighty!
At last, am i done?
Aren't you proud?
Of the mission i had?"

Down the road
and into a cave
A final rest
Where he must lay

But not for long
As on an evening moon
A soul rouse again

Held by Halin,
he has no fear

As he steps into,
His heavenly palace!

The song seems to talk about a person going on an adventure (Possibly a crusader or most likely a Mercenary soldier) and dying in combat in the name of Halin, burried, and then his soul being brought to the celestial/Heavenly palace, which is a common representation of the Afterlife in Choranian mythology.
