This came to me one late night as I listened to the music of an anime music video on YouTube called "Rodimus' Destiny". The song is named Farewell by Apocalyptica; very heartfelt music, not to mention that one part of the refrain has a two or three notes of the original TF theme. Moving on: Considering the long lifespan of a Transformer, and how sometimes legend becomes religion instead of myth (especially with less-developed cultures) over millenia... I imagine this would be a shamanic prayer, passed on by generation, of an alien race that encountered a certain group of Transformers hundreds - perhaps thousands - of solar cycles ago while the race was quite young.



Psalm of Hope, First Verse (Invocation)

written 11 March 07

Herein lay the tales of the Ancients
Wise, Just, and Merciful are their names
Beauty and Glory are theirs forever
Their Love always freely given
We will remember them
In our hearts they have remained, do remain, will remain
History nevers dies, it only changes
And we will change with it
Moving ever onward to the future without end
Its beacon of Light guiding us, we will not stray
Calling us by name Home to them
By their Grace, there we will find
Peace to heal the wounded heart
Compassion to mend the torn mind
Salvation for the sullied soul
In them we place the Faith of our Nations
The Hope of our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
Here now is our plea
The desire shared with them
The fate entwined with theirs
Protect life, Ancients
As You did so long ago for our ancestors
Protect life, Champions
Protect life, dearest Friends
Protect us, Autobots
