Adventure Song & Lyrics

![[The Rune Heart Awakens.mp3]]

[Verse 1]
Down beneath the stone and shadow
Where the prisoner's face changed form
Old man, young woman, mystery hollow
Truth dissolved in metamorphic storm
Kemurial's light cuts through the darkness
While Calanthia picks each lock with care
Rory's rage burns fierce and heartless
As the dead rise from their lair

[Chorus]
The Rune Heart awakens from its slumber deep
Ancient power stirring from eternal sleep
Through the webs and bones we fought to find the way
The Rune Heart awakens, lighting up the day

[Verse 2]
Ghosts of cannon smoke and thunder
Phase spiders dancing in and out of sight
Driders weaving death and plunder
While Freya's flames burn through the night
Friar Karl's prayers echo softly
Guardian spirits standing at our side
Sacred weapon swinging loftily
As the graveyard's children died

[Bridge]
Three gems of green and purple fire
Fitting sockets like a key
Unlocking what we most desire
Setting bound magic free

[Chorus]
The Rune Heart awakens from its slumber deep
Ancient power stirring from eternal sleep
Through the webs and bones we fought to find the way
The Rune Heart awakens, lighting up the day

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Ley lines flowing like a river
Through the corridors of stone
Crystal pulse begins to shiver
Power claimed, no longer alone
Thirty-three thousand gold pieces
For the heart we brought to beat
But the real reward increases
When broken magic feels complete

[Chorus]
The Rune Heart awakens from its slumber deep
Ancient power stirring from eternal sleep
Through the webs and bones we fought to find the way
The Rune Heart awakens, lighting up the day

[Chorus]
The Rune Heart awakens, energy set free
Four companions bound by shared destiny
From the depths we climbed to see the light of day
The Rune Heart awakens, showing us the way
