1. I received your letter giving respite
While heads were waiting for the sword's might

2. The turns of fate had an effect on us
Until we resembled dust in our plight

3. Why do they eat naught but my flesh?
Drinking my blood gives them delight

4. So ask not, my soul I lay down for you
What we faced when the book took flight

5. Some of us bow before God in thanks
Others pray, hoping to reunite

6. You revived our souls with your promise
A respite for our abodes' blight

7. The letter was sent, while many eyes
Watch what answer may come to light
