Adventure Song & Lyrics

![[Farewell, Fwendth.mp3]]

[Verse 1]
The siege-fire burns on the walls of Praag, the towers start to lean,
As Chaos rises from the fog to tear away the scene.
We took the feast of heroes past, we shared the sacred bread,
And Kemurial’s ward of blanking mind was cast upon my head.
The plague-beasts shambled from the street, surrounded by the flies,
With rotting skin and heavy feet beneath the winter skies.

[Chorus]
In the dark where the cold is settling deep,
I am finding a place where the shadows sleep.
Keep the others safe from the storm and the wind,
And whisper to the night: Farewell, friends.

[Verse 2]
Our steel was dull against their hides, the venom sprayed like rain,
While Freya’s wall of roaring fire turned cobblestones to pain.
I burned within the emerald spark, I felt the sulfur roll,
And Zhanis’s strike of flame came down to test a warrior's soul.
But I did the stop-and-drop-and-roll to fight the biting heat,
And found the strength to make a stand before the dark retreat.

[Chorus]
In the dark where the cold is settling deep,
I am finding a place where the shadows sleep.
Keep the others safe from the storm and the wind,
And whisper to the night: Farewell, friends.

[Verse 3]
I drank the potion for the speed, to make the blood run fast,
And blew my breath of dragon-fire to make the cultists blast.
But then the chain-men stepped in line, and from the shifting air,
The massive eye of ruin shone to lock us in despair.
An antimagic cone came down, the carpet hit the stone,
And Freya fell from hollow heights to face the beast alone.

[Bridge]
I grabbed the chains, I climbed the links, I reached the floating dread,
But then the paralyzing beam was locked upon my head.
My body froze, I could not swing, I crashed upon the floor,
As iron boots of faceless men began their brutal war.
With one last breath of fading strength, I pulled the magic stone,
The Cloak of Billowing drifted down... and I was gone.

[Verse 4]
The command post is warm and bright, but I am slipping fast,
While Zhanis rises from her dust, her final trial passed.
They tried to pull me from the veil, they tried to speak my name,
But my spirit cannot find the path to find the living flame.
The dark is soft, the dark is kind, the battle has to end,
So keep the sword and keep the keys, and keep them safe, my friend.

[Chorus]
In the dark where the cold is settling deep,
I am finding a place where the shadows sleep.
Keep the others safe from the storm and the wind,
And whisper to the night: Farewell, friends.

[Coda]
Draugnir, watch the heroes rise.
Friar Karl, look to the skies.
Mommy, Daddy, close my eyes.
I am going to sleep now.
