Verse 1 I tuned my strings in Verra’s dawn, Watched Phallic brace for what came on Three rogues danced where the fire bled, DID-ler laughed till he was dead MAD-say-oh charged like chaos made flesh, Swore the glow was “probably fine,” I guess SKY-vee stepped first, blade held low, Quiet as death—first one to go Pre-Chorus And Tur-sett prayed with a watchful eye, Not for our lives—but the loot nearby Oakenbane rang with goblin cries, Other flags waving, daring us to try Chorus So sing it loud, this Blood Oath tale We stood our ground, we did not fail If death was near, we laughed it down One more pull, no backing out Through contest, loss, and broken trust I sang so we would not turn to dust Hear my voice, let Verra know— We are bound by more than gold Verse 2 Through Sephillion’s rot and restless bones, I watched Phallic grow into stone Mug-ga spoke calm when plans went wrong, Wisdom older than any song Short-ay’s arrows split the night, True and clean when my words weren’t right Three walked off, said “this ain’t home,” Left their shadows where we’d roamed Pre-Chorus I tried to lead, tried to sound wise, But truth rang clearer in Mug-ga’s eyes Still I sang, ‘cause someone must Hold the line when faith is dust Chorus So sing it loud, this Blood Oath tale We stood our ground, we did not fail If death was near, we laughed it down One more pull, no backing out Through contest, loss, and broken trust I sang so we would not turn to dust Hear my voice, let Verra know— We are bound by more than gold Verse 3 Sandsquall burned, the minotaurs fell, No contest cries, just loot and hell Baby scorpions, small but mean, Paid us better than kings or queens Carphin’s tower, cultists bled, Casters stayed when others fled Forge was fire, contested stone, Every road felt wrong, no place felt home Pre-Chorus On Korrin’s shore, the waves ran red, An old name spoken, then left for dead Betrayal ends where steel is true, No song for those who break in two Final Chorus Now we stand at twenty-five, Battle-worn and still alive Some ran ahead, some lagged behind, But we crossed the line in time Endgame waits with open jaws, For those who kept the Blood Oath laws Hear my voice—remember this: I sang, but we did this
