DEYTHRA FAENYRA — THE GYPSY-STORM DANCER OF THE WILD ROADS

{INTRO — Distant Thunder, Wagon Bells, Wind Through Canvas} [Female Lead — soft, mysterious] I was born where the black clouds rolled Three bolts fell and the night turned gold No cradle waited, no kingdom called Just the Wild Roads beneath us all Wheels were singing before I could speak Stormfire dancing beneath my feet The old folk smiled and they whispered low "Child of thunder... where will you go?" {Fiddle enters. Hand drums begin.} [Female Lead] I dance where the crossroads meet Lightning moving beneath my feet Fortune follows where I roam The Wild Roads always lead me home {CHORUS — Full Ensemble, Driving Rhythm} [Female Lead + Choir] Hey-ahhh... Ride the storm, let the heavens roll Hey-ahhh... Thunder singing through my soul Hey-ahhh... No crown above me, no chains below I'm Deythra Faenyra And the Wild Roads know {Instrumental — Fiddle Solo, Caravan Bells, Thunder} [Female Lead] I've seen kings with golden lies I've watched empires fade and die Every road becomes the dust Every throne forgets its trust But the wheels keep turning still Over valley, stream, and hill Every traveler learns someday No road belongs to those who stay {Male Ritual Chant Underneath} Hooves of thunder... Child of rain... Roadbound dancer... Born again... {CHORUS} [Female Lead + Choir] Hey-ahhh... Ride the storm, let the heavens roll Hey-ahhh... Thunder singing through my soul Hey-ahhh... No crown above me, no chains below I'm Deythra Faenyra And the Wild Roads know {BRIDGE — Storm Building} [Female Lead — almost spoken] When the lightning walks beside you... When the wagon bells still ring... When the road appears before you... Follow... Don't question... Just follow... {Thunder Crack — Fiddle Explodes Into Fast Dance Rhythm} {FINAL CHORUS — Biggest Section} [Full Ensemble] Hey-ahhh... Ride the storm, let the heavens roll Hey-ahhh... Thunder singing through my soul Hey-ahhh... No crown above me, no chains below I'm Deythra Faenyra And the Wild Roads know {OUTRO — Solo Female Vocal, Distant Thunder} I was born where the black clouds rolled... Three bolts fell... And the night turned gold... {Wagon
