Down with the Undead, Tower Guard v4

[Whispered Cold Open] doom-bai-da, doom-bai-da, doom-bai-da... Were we drowned, or were we downed? Raised again—the drums resound. Were we stilled, or were we crowned? Deeds still turn the ages round. [Rhythmic Verse] Raise not the mug that dulls the mind. Drink of the potion, clear, refined. Beer bends the step; the blade strikes skew. The Healer’s draught makes heroes new. Cast down the tankard. Wisdom said: Ascend. Do not be Reborn As Clone. Do not return Undead. [Fast Build] Were you Downed and Drowned in the raging tide, When the Dungeons of Doom swallowed you inside? Were you Fallen or Broken, crushed in the fray, Or shattered and scattered at break of day? Were you buried or carried, swept to the ground, Or silenced and stifled with no more sound? Were you beaten or eaten, lost to the fight, Or vanished and banished into the night? [Chant Drop] Down with the Undead! Down with the Undead! Down with the Undead! [Reprise — Stronger] Were we drowned, or were we downed? Raised again—the drums resound. Were we stilled, or were we crowned? Deeds still turn the ages round. Raise not the mug that dulls the mind. Drink of the potion, clear, refined. Cast down the tankard. Wisdom said: Ascend. Do not return Undead. [Fast Build — Escalating] Downed and Drowned in the raging tide, The Dungeons of Doom pull us inside. Fallen or Broken, crushed in the fray, Shattered and scattered at break of day. Buried or carried, swept to the ground, Silenced and stifled without a sound. Beaten or eaten, lost to the fight, Vanished and banished into the night. [Hard Stop] brrr-a! brrr-a! brrr-a! Hahahaha! [Beat Switch] The Tower was doomed before we came. We fight so history learns our names. Not as saviors. Not as kings. Just guards Who knew what color means. [Tower Guard Hook] Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. We knew the light. We held the gap. Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. [Tower Guard Hook] Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. Raise your mugs and marvel so At braids and tangles in glorious flow! No steel, no spell, no ocean wide Can match the glory of my pride! Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. [Ancestry Verse] From chin to chest, it cascades free: A living map of ancestry. In guild halls vast or shadowed keep, It whispers secrets while I sleep. Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. Braids and iron. Storm and sea. Guild or beard— They’re one to me. Half-Dwarf forever Till day is done. [Dark Bridge] I joined their ranks. I felt the pull. I broke the world To make it whole. The peace I shattered, The peace I stole— I know now That was never my goal. I joined them. Now the truth is shown: I was always the Giant. I was never alone. The end was written. The path was known. For I, the Giant, Now sit on the throne. [Tower Guard Hook] Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. [War Rise] Clones, Half-Dwarven, Half-Elven rise Under blood-red, burning skies. No more shadows. No more cries. The Goblins fall. Their legacy dies. Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. [Final Revelation] We followed Shidden. We gave him our hearts. He led us to victory. He tore us apart. We trusted his vision. We swore by his name. At last we learned We were pieces in his game. For he was the Giant, The great and the bold— Tower Guard... We lost our souls. [Final Hook] Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. Tower Guard. Keep Guard. Hold the line. Hold the light. Tower Guard. Keep Guard.
