Oath Breaker's Lament (prompt boost) M 402 V5 BST
For those who’ve paid a price for their principles - the truth tellers, the gentle rebels, the dreamers locked away for refusing to kneel. May your conscience never be your cage, and may the songs you sing in darkness still reach the hearts that wait for you in the light. To every soul who ever loved across distance, doubt, or injustice - your sheer will keeps the flame alive. - Team Tiglet: Kevin “Tigger” and Mira “Piglet”] [A very special thanks to Suno song creators Sky @ Ramblebots 👉 https://suno.com/@ramblebots AND 🅼🅾️🅳🅴🆁🅽 ᴮᴬᴿᴰ 👉 https://suno.com/@modernbard for the inspiration of their style choices] [Verse] Oh, the court’s restraints are forged from lies, The lute's my comfort kept from open skies. I sang of truth with no thought of crime, Now stone and only silence mark my time. I swore to her to only be fourteen nights, But my jailers stole the moon and my rights. [Chorus] Forgive me, my love, for the oath that I broke, For the fire I lit is now nothing but smoke. If my voice calls you in the darkening air, Know I still breathe you in with every prayer. These chains may bind this unworthy frame, But my heart still keeps your sacred name. [Verse] The guards object to the songs I play, Yet each plucked string is my only way To send my love upon the breeze, And beg your heart to not set me free. If you dance now in another’s gaze, Please remember about our fairer days. [Bridge] The king fears truth more than blade or beast, He wished to remove my tongue at his feast. Do you think of me now each time you dine, Or has your love turned into bitter wine Poured for lips that mine will never meet, While I lie low in this dungeon’s heat? [Chorus] Forgive me, my love, for my vow is now torn, By the crown’s cruel will so I lie here forlorn. If my song wanders to your distant shore, Let it profess my love for you, forevermore. Though fate has scattered all that we planned, I’d hold you still with my grateful hands. [Verse] They fear the ones who will not bow, So I sing what law won’t dare allow. But I would burn this wretched court, To hold you close in love’s true fort. Time steals more than gold or breath, It may steal your heart from me in death. [Chorus] Forgive me, my love, if you’ve moved on, If I’m just echoes in your yesterday's dawn. But if you still wait, by moon or by flame, I’ll crawl through hell just to speak your name. One vow I’ll keep though years may flee from me My love will remain yours, eternally. [Outro: Whispered falsetto + lute fade] Oath breaker I may be to that world above, But never to you… my one and only love.
