“Fear not this night” is the Sylvari theme in Guild Wars 2.
Lore-wise, it is sung by the Pale Tree and gets played at various moments in the original personal story, notably at the very end, after defeating Zhaitan, during the credits of Victory Or Death.
It evokes dawn, the Sylvari awakening, and...
[Chorus]
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall,
Still the stars find their way
[Verse 1]
Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind.
Awaken as the silence grows
In the solitude of the night
Darkness spreads throughout the land,
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nightmares come when shadows grow,
Eyes close and heartbeats slow
[Chorus]
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
[Post-Chorus 1]
And you can always be strong!
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn!
Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away
[Verse 2]
Distant sounds of melodies
Calling through the night to your heart.
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life
Pleadings heard in arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nightmares come when shadows grow;
Lift your voice, lift your heart!
[Chorus]
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
[Post-Chorus 2]
And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up; call out and my take hand
[Chorus]
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
[Post-Chorus 1]
And you can always be strong!
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn!
Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away
