Song of All
The Song of All is a song featured in the flavor text of Urza's block. Some additions appeared in the Masques block and the Time Spiral block.
The song is about the wisdom of Serra and her beliefs and worldview. It's expressed through her host of angels. The Song of All is a very lengthy song. It consists of over 1000 cantos of varying length. Singing the whole song would take many days, maybe even as long as a week. [1]
