Ilvermorny

Lyrics

Verse 1 On Greylock’s height where the cold mists cling, Stood Isolt Sayre, who had fled the old sting. With a hornbeam wand and a will of her own, She raised a school from the forest alone. Refrain Ilvermorny, born of flight and of need, No ancient towers, no bloodline, no creed. Four houses, four paths, yet one single test: Talent untutored is talent suppressed. Verse 2 Thunderbird rises on tempest and gale, Courage that conquers, that never will fail. Wampus prowls silent through shadow and stone, Strength without mercy, that stands on its own. Refrain Ilvermorny, born of flight and of need, No ancient towers, no bloodline, no creed. Four houses, four paths, yet one single test: Talent untutored is talent suppressed. Verse 3 Horned Serpent coils in the waters so deep, Wisdom that measures the secrets we keep. Pukwudgie laughs from the thicket nearby, Healer and marksman with mischievous eye. Refrain Ilvermorny, born of flight and of need, No ancient towers, no bloodline, no creed. Four houses, four paths, yet one single test: Talent untutored is talent suppressed. Bridge No Sorting Hat whispers, no portraits decree— Only cold statues that measure and see. Here in the New World the old rules still bind: Power unmastered will leave you behind. (leise, klar) Firmamentum Domorum. Final Refrain Ilvermorny, born of flight and of need, No ancient towers, no bloodline, no creed. Four houses, four paths, yet one single test: Talent untutored is talent suppressed.
