The First Battle of the Damned | #TheTavern

[Verse 1] A storm was raging through the land, Steel met steel by dead men’s hands. They came in droves, with blades so bright, And I, a shadow in the night. [Pre-Chorus] No breath, no pain, no fear, no cry, Yet something burned behind my eyes. [Chorus] Strike me down, I’ll rise once more, Bound in chains of blood and war. I am Veydris, cold as stone, Cursed to fight, but not my own. [Verse 2] Their swords could cut, but not my flesh, Their fear, it bled through every breath. One by one, their voices fell, Drowned beneath this endless hell. [Pre-Chorus] No mercy left, no gods to pray, Only darkness calls my name. [Chorus] Strike me down, I’ll rise once more, Bound in chains of blood and war. I am Veydris, cold as stone, Cursed to fight, but not my own. [Bridge] The ground was soaked, the air was red, Yet I still stood while they lay dead. But something deep inside me knew, Each battle stole what once was true. [Final Chorus] Strike me down, I’ll rise again, Bound to war that never ends. I am Veydris, lost in time, No fate to claim, no soul to find. [Outro] No voice will call, no hands will save, I march alone beyond the grave.
