🔮 the Warlock’s Quest 🏰 | #TheTavern

[Verse 1 - The Failed Curse] A failed curse beset a dark crystal palace, The warlock, unbothered, resumes his science. Deranged admirers cling to him still, Their bravery unproven, their minds yet untested. [Verse 2 - Gargoyle Awakening] Gargoyles of forgotten gods arise, A new dawn buried in endless night. Amethyst clouds shroud the sky, Yet silver starlight breaks through in defiance. [Pre-Chorus - The Moon’s Cry] A long-lost moon wails in dismay, Denied the inquest of its own decree. A mere distraction, a hollow descent, As reason fades in wretched demotion. [Chorus - The Warlock’s Work] The heart is emptied, the mind is spent, A treasure trove of logic remains. Shall I carve a second heart in my old chest? Dare I drink from my own defiant dream? [Verse 3 - The Hollowed Curse] The elixir tempts, yet my veins run black, Devoid of all—even pain. Never again as I once was, When faith was entered in harmony and devoured whole. [Bridge - The Spiral of Hatred] My name engraved, but silence speaks, The sea rages on, yet I am gone. What now lurks sings the verse, But it is not reborn—no, it is the hollowed curse. [Chorus 2 - The Obsidian Blessing] The incantation recycles, The pain refined to its purest edge. The blessing is mine to perform, Not to forfeit, not to forget. [Outro - The Mind’s Last Reflection] Memories spiral, unseen by all but me, Hatred consuming beauty in its path. A misaligned soul, a mind entrapped, Believing its mirror shows insight alone. [Final Line] Awakening calls, but these words remain— A timeless state, lost and adrift, Fueling the very fire that consumes All reason, all hope, all resistance.
