The title, like the last word, is silent and unspoken.

Voiceless
whispers the light
Across
dark waves of night
To
speak in the silence
Against mankind's violence
Long
have we waited here
From
ages past to cheer
The
defeat of the night
The
victory of light
Before
the dawn we burst forth
Into
time we have stepped
From
the darkness we sang out
Rays
of truth and light have leapt
Joy
was ours to fill the sky
To
raise our light and sing out
Meeting
night’s edge at our dawn
Our
forces it sought to rout
Against
the chaos we strove
Victors
of a mighty lord
Behind
his flag we marched
His
light the guide of our horde
By
his order we were set
In
our sectors we would stay
In
his name to rule the sky
To
rule night and to rule day
Blue
and Green was our treasure
The
jewel of the skies our prize
Our
delight where light brought life
And
in man given to rise
Under
our Bright One they rose
Greeting
their dawn with loud song
Striding
over blue and green
In
light and life they grew strong
But
it was not to last
As
dawn waned and passed
Green
was surrendered
Death
for blue rendered
Light
was traded for dark
Life
boarded the last ark
One
drew another’s blood
Opening
the red flood
We
were not indifferent
And
dispassion was not ours
Though
stained red was the ground
Yet
bright white were still the stars
Messengers
streaked through space
Even
our prince through the sky
Yet
not one was received
Burned
red they were to die
With
eyes towards the stars
And
hearts upraised to Mars
You
sought to leave your land
To
seize us with your hand
To
reach the bright regions
You
raced as legions
Burning
fires below
Seeking
our light to grow
But
peace was not your aim
And
with you darkness came
Eyes
darkened to light
Unable
to see right
What
darkness there is here
Was
carried from your pier
For
long ago with the light
We
had banished night
Watchers
of the skies are we
Rulers
of the heavens now
Warriors
who once drew sword
Who
made the chaos to bow
Against
the void we have fought
To
fill all places with light
Witnesses
before the king
At
the trial of man’s night
We
are old, from times unknown
Our
king from ages yet known
Our
voices carry through night
From
the dawn to speak of light
Against
him do man’s deeds cry
Charges
to seek eye for eye
Yet
we stars speak no violence
For
man shall end in _______.
