The Ballad of the Vanishing Mare

[Verse] In the dead of night when shadows crawl A crime lord schemed to take it all To a mansion's splendor he made his way But a half-elf's wrath would make him pay [Chorus] Oh the tale it twists like the smoky air A thief lies cold but where's the mare The horse it vanished not a hoof was heard A mystery swirls in the alley's word [Verse 2] The crime lord laughed as the treasure he eyed Candles flickered and the winds replied But magic crackled from a voice so cold The half-elf's spell turned bold to old [Chorus] Oh the tale it twists like the smoky air A thief lies cold but where's the mare The horse it vanished not a hoof was heard A mystery swirls in the alley's word [Bridge] Blood on the rug jewels on the floor The rich guy smirked through his gilded door A shadow passed the window's gleam But the fast horse faded like a fevered dream [Verse 3] Some say the steed was a phantom flame Born of curses and whispered names Others say it ran to a thief's embrace Disappearing in the night with grace
