_The Eternally Vigilant, Gorm Gulthyn
Thee who shield the children of stoneThe days grow dark
In the hearts of men
So heavily they walk
Tired in their dutyThey be not our kin
But keep the front line
So I pray for thy eyes of fire
To brighten their path
To pierce through darkAnd I pray for me and Hold
The wisdom to see
The wisdom to hear
And wisdom to act
How it is best for our kinTo step forward when we should
To stay on our own door when we should
To not be shadowed by fear in hearts
To not be tired in our guardLet us serve you well
Let us see as your eyes see
Let our stand hold as yours does
And keep our hearts intact of shadows
To see through the another dayAnd once again, I promise thee
Lord of Bronze Mask
To serve thee with no questions
To the another glorious day
To the another great stand
Until the time comes
To pay your greatest priceAs thee are great,
As thee are Eternally Vigilant
Thee, Gorm Gulthyn.
Praised be thy name!_

_Gorm Gulthyn, today my prayer is silent one
A prayer spoken in times when words are not strong enoughToday I pray not for strength, not for vigilance
Today I pray not for greater good of kinToday my prayer is of silence and peace
I wish to be silent in your name,
to respect ones who have left us to join thy kingdom
those of whom have shaped my path
those whom have crafted rock in me to the shape of heartI pray for those whom I thought would ever be
Those who I did not turn back to see how they wereI pray for their place on your side,
and I pray that in the end they knew how skilled crafters they were
and that they crafted my stone into shape of heartGorm Gulthyn. Hear my silence.
When there is less time to speak, than there are words to say
the silence is most powerful._

Hear me as I praise you who are Eternally VigilantI thank thee for thy wisdom
I thank thee for opportunity to show path to one who was lost
I thank thee, and I praise thy name!I thank, and I ask
I ask that your wisdom will enlighten meWisdom
To lead by word
To lead by example
To lead ones who are just hurled rocks
To lead them become a mountainI pray thine blessing for one who was lost
I pray thine blessing for one who is called AkuldorLet him not return his ways
Let him not be turned back to hurled rock
but stay as part of mountain
to be a part of mountain of dwarven warriorsLet him be mountain
to grow strong
until the time comes
for sacred avalancheI pray thee, and I praise thee Gorm Gulthyn
I pray for thy wisdom
I pray for thy blessingsAnd I praise all that you are

To try be more like you today than I have ever been
And every day from now on
