Adventure Song & Lyrics

![[The Day the Sky Cried Fire.mp3]]

[Verse 1]
Steel rang out on blackened stone,
The forge-halls shook with a demon’s moan.
From molten depths it rose in flame,
The Terror came with death and name.

[Pre-Chorus]
Smoke curled like fingers around the spire,
Drums like thunder, hearts like fire.
And in the ash, a king stood tall—
One dwarf to hold the mountain's call.

[Chorus]
The day the sky cried fire,
When shadow fell and hopes turned dire.
He stood alone, a wall of flame,
And bought the dawn with blood and name.
We carry his oath, higher and higher—
On the day the sky cried fire.

[Verse 2]
Rory’s roar broke through the storm,
Lim Dul’s blade found its deadly form.
Freya’s eyes lit up the dark,
Kemurial struck with heaven’s spark.

[Pre-Chorus]
But none could cage the demon’s wrath,
'Til Thangrim chose the dying path.
Hammer high and armor torn,
He met the beast with oathwrought scorn.

[Chorus]
The day the sky cried fire,
When stone wept tears and gods drew nigher.
He stood his ground through flame and pain,
And earned his rest in valor’s name.
Now legends rise from funeral pyre—
Of the day the sky cried fire.

[Bridge]
We speak his name in halls of stone,
A king, a shield, the mountain’s own.
The ember's glow, the storm’s refrain,
He walks with us in ash and flame.

[Final Chorus]
The day the sky cried fire,
When dwarves stood fast and climbed no higher.
He gave his soul to break the chain,
And left behind a hero’s flame.
Forevermore, we will aspire—
To the day the sky cried fire.
