[Intro] I crossed the swamp in moon-bent boots, with poison in my braids. I took the north road, knife tucked close, past ravens, graves, and shade. The map was torn, the torch burned low, but I knew that final gate. I went in light, I went in quick, to meet my blood-earned fate. [Verse 1] I slipped through reeds and broken stone, the marsh was full of teeth. I picked off wolves by the watchtower, then ghosts beneath the eaves. A healer begged, a scout went down, I ghosted through the choke. I looted keys from dead red hands, and laughed in river-smoke. [Pre-Chorus] Quest by quest, I carved my path, through halls of iron rain. Every mob fell, every lock gave way, but the dark kept calling my name. Then the floor shook hard like a war drum, and the air turned sour and strange. [Chorus] I reached the beast I reached the beast I reached the beast at last I had to dance in close I had to bleed for the cast We came for gold We came for glory We came and paid the cost [Verse 2] The boss rose up in rotten crowns, a stitched-together blight. Ancient mouths in a hissing ring, and too many eyes for night. Bone on bone with a furnace heart, it dragged the room in flame. I rolled in close through claw and spit, to mark my place in the pain. [Pre-Chorus] My party called, then one by one their voices went thin and broke. The tank went down in a spray of sparks, the mage just choked on smoke. I saw my priest with a shattered staff, fall where the red runes bled. Still I stayed tucked in the monster’s ribs, with a dagger over my head. [Chorus] I reached the beast I reached the beast I reached the beast at last I had to dance in close I had to bleed for the cast We came for gold We came for glory We came and paid the cost [Bridge] Then it was me and the ruined crown, and the thing that should not breathe. One last rogue in a broken hall, with its hunger at my knees. I kissed the dark and struck for home, through sinew, hide, and grime. I heard my friends in the falling stones, like bells from another time. [Final Chorus] Sasha's Silent Hand Sasha's Silent Hand Sasha's Silent Hand struck fast I stepped in close and made it land I fought through ash and glass The beast went still the room went black I won, but not at last
