Let it be Writ

I write my fate, not any others
Let it be writ in my own hand,
In my own words, in my own good time,
I write my fate with great good care.

We write our fates, not any others'
Let it be writ with our own hands,
In our own words, and in our own good time,
Let us write our fate with great good care.

When I write my fate, my clan's fate is writ also,
As the folk write, so is my fate also writ,
Let us first trade words in our own good time,
So we will write our fate with great good care.

As I write my fate, my enemy's fate is writ also,
As my enemy writes, so is my fate also writ,
For what my enemy writes calls me to action,
What I write strikes in my enemies fear of law.

So I will write my fate with great good care,
In my own hand and in my own good time,
Where my runes are writ waxes green with life,
Runes writ right with a love of life and of law.
