The Chill Ranger

Born in the fire where the sun don’t sleep, Wind cuts deep, but the blood runs deep, Taught to track where the lizards crawl, Pull up water when the sky won’t fall, Footsteps light, yeah, the dunes don’t snitch, Knife in my palm, yeah, I learned that quick, Vanished in the heat like a ghost unseen, Only the strong get to paint this scene, Twenty years, then you walk alone, Fate ain’t kind, gotta carve your own, Left my kin where the sand winds hum, Only promise is the road ahead—so I run, Hit the cities where the towers rise, Street rats bite with their sharpened lies, Did what I had to, played their game, Shadow in the dark, never gave my name, Hand too quick, yeah, I slipped one night, Wrong damn mark, wrong place, wrong fight, Thought I'd swing where the gallows stand, But he saw more than a thief’s cold hands, [Melodic] Took me in, gave me tools, gave me time, Showed me the past buried under the grime, Scrolls, lost gods, bones in the sand, Shit, maybe I had a purpose at hand, I walk where the sun don’t give no grace, Curses ride on the winds I chase, Ghosts in the rock, yeah, they call my name, But the desert don’t care ‘bout a damn man’s pain, Raiders came like a plague at dusk, Steel met flesh, blood turned to dust, Tore through my kin, left none alive, I crawled through death just to survive, Fell through stone, found the tomb’s dark breath, Something waiting in the halls of death, Gold in the black, a scarab’s gleam, And the moment I touched it, I heard it scream, [Melodic] Now it whispers in a voice so thin, Scratching deep underneath my skin, Chittering, crawling, never alone, The hive in my blood sings soft like home, Left the guild, left the books, left the past, I ain't made for a life held fast, Caravan ghost, blade stays keen, Still chasing fate through the in-between, So I walk, I dig, I take, I leave, Aibnat Alsahra', born to breathe, Sand and stone, they know my song, Ain’t no grave when the road runs long,..
