Glistening by the comets like a flurry of hail in a frozen song Shining like the steel of a warrior from Rome Traveling through chains of stars and moons Following a lion, a scale, and a winged-horse towards home The lion is brave, known for its fury and rage Burning through suns before each eclipse Leo’s pride, strength, and forceful way of life Makes enemies cower with a single roar from its lips The scale emits a chord of peace and war Both sides beginning with neither side ending Neutral in its claims, but Libra promises this: Balance holds worlds without space ever rending The winged-horse is patient; smart, but wise The land where it grazes is Elysium’s wish To understand and to be understood Pegasus rises from the shadow abyss One road he must follow and only one gate to cross With eternal life, time rises or falls like rain He chooses no predetermined path And all through space, knows of Cepheus’s reign

Cepheus
Glistening by the comets like a flurry of hail in a frozen song Shining like the steel of a warrior from Rome Traveling through chains of stars and moons Following a lion, a scale, and a winged-horse towards home The lion is brave, known for its fury and rage Burning through suns before each eclipse Leo’s pride, strength, and forceful way of life Makes enemies cower with a single roar from its lips The scale emits a chord of peace and war Both sides beginning with neither side ending Neutral in its claims, but Libra promises this: Balance holds worlds without space ever rending The winged-horse is patient; smart, but wise The land where it grazes is Elysium’s wish To understand and to be understood Pegasus rises from the shadow abyss One road he must follow and only one gate to cross With eternal life, time rises or falls like rain He chooses no predetermined path And all through space, knows of Cepheus’s reign
