The Curse of Strahd (NDC)
[Verse 1, Van Richten] From distant lands my calling came, A ancient curse, a whispered name; In grief and vengeance, I’d arise— To face the lord of darkened skies. No soul could rest in Barovia’s ever-night, Where evil prowls, not even death is a respite; I bear my grief over my son as i sharpened my sword, And march to challenge this dread lord on my accord. [Chorus, Van Richten] Oh, Barovia, these cursed land, hear freedom’s calls, Let darkness fall and find hope that the tyrant falls. As once again the sun will ascend with righteous might. The light of dawn will soon pierce the night For soon the curse of strahd will be made right [Verse 2, Van Richten] The villain Strahd, he knows, he fears, my name And i should cower at his, for in a sense we are the same But yet I won't. Am I brave or just insane? We both are what the other’s kind fears But now our duel will finally come after all these many years Tonight’s dinner at Raven-loft will be Strahd’s last meal There will be only one thing served at that banquet, and it will be my steel All so I can make my decade long dream real [Chorus, Van Richten] Oh, Barovia, these cursed land, hear freedom’s calls, Let darkness fall and find hope that the tyrant falls. As once again the sun will ascend with righteous might. The light of dawn will soon pierce the night For soon the curse of strahd will be made right [spoken interlude, Strahd, Deep dark male vocals] ”My, my, if it isn’t the famed Doctor Rudolph Van Richten… Here to try and kill me, I assume? Well then, go on, Entertain me!” [verse 3, Van Richten] Strahd… No longer will you cause Barovia any more pain No longer will your tyranny have any power in this domain I’ll make sure ash and dust is all that will remain For I’ve vowed to leave every vampire in this world slain! Your kind once turned my son, forced me to kill my flesh and blood Since then I’ve dedicated my life to hunt monsters like you for the greater good So Strahd, I know you fear my name, I know you know what I can do. So, in the name of peace for barovia and revenge for my son, i challenge you
