[INTRO] [A single bell... whispered voices... heartbeat... silence...] Speak... Your... Oath... --- [VERSE 1] I am Vár, vow-rememberer, ring-oath keeper, truth discerning, Word-weaver, witness waiting, every promise always burning. Every whisper sworn in secret, every pledge beneath the moon, Every vow made hand in hand... I hear them all, and all too soon. Kings have spoken, lovers promised, warriors swore upon the blade, Every oath becomes a thread that never truly starts to fade. Steel may rust and stone may crumble, kingdoms fall beneath the years, Still I hear forgotten promises whispered softly in my ears. Do not think the night conceals you, darkness never blinds my sight, Every lie begins in shadow, every truth survives the night. Guest-right broken, blood-oaths shattered, treaties cast aside for gain, Every faithless word you utter echoes back through endless pain. Truth is patient, never hurried, justice walks with measured pace, Every promise finds its ending when at last you see my face. --- [CHORUS] I am Vár! Every promise speaks my name! I am Vár! Truth and judgment burn the same! I am Vár! Every oath becomes your chain! Keep your word before you lose it... Or you'll never stand again! --- [VERSE 2] Ring-breaker, oath-forsaker, hear the silence closing in, Every step you take from honor draws you deeper into sin. Gold can buy a thousand swords but never purchase back your name, Power built on broken promises always dies in rightful shame. I have watched empires collapse beneath a single faithless king, Watched a brother sell his honor for the smallest, weakest thing. Every falsehood births another until truth can scarcely breathe, Then the weight of every promise drags the liar to his knees. Speak with care before your children, speak with care before your kin, Every lesson taught in falsehood plants another poisoned seed. Honor isn't loud or boastful, honor quietly stands alone, While deceit keeps building castles destined one day to be overthrown. Those who keep their sacred pledges need not ever fear my gaze, For I guard the faithful always through their darkest, longest days. --- [CHORUS] I am Vár! Every promise speaks my name! I am Vár! Truth and judgment burn the same! I am Vár! Every oath becomes your chain! Keep your word before you lose it... Or you'll never stand again! --- [VERSE 3] Do not swear what you can't carry, better silence than deceit, Better one true word delivered than a thousand false repeats. Every marriage, every treaty, every bond of friend to friend, Lives or dies the very moment that integrity will bend. I need neither blade nor fire, neither army nor command, Every oath becomes the weapon placed within your own two hands. Keep it well and it will lift you, break it and it breaks you first, No curse spoken by another matches self-inflicted curse. Stand before me when your story reaches its appointed end, Not with titles, not with riches, not surrounded by your friends. Stand with nothing but your promises laid open in the light, Then we'll see if every word you gave was worthy of your fight. Those who walked with truth beside them never fear eternity... For their honor is the judgment... And their word has set them free. --- [FINAL CHORUS] I am Vár! Truth remembers every vow! I am Vár! Every then becomes a now! I am Vár! Stand with honor to the end! Keep your word and walk in freedom... Break it, and your soul will bend.
