Descent into Shadows | #TheTavern

[Verse 1] (Soft, eerie strings, distant echoes, like a soul whispering through the void.) Once a man, once a knight, Once I held the morning light. Her voice, her touch, so warm, so real, Now only ghosts are left to feel. [Pre-Chorus] "And I curse the stars, I curse the sky, For letting love be born to die." [Chorus] (Massive orchestral swell, drums like a war march) Take my name, take my soul, I walk the path of blackened gold. No gods will hear, no light remains, Only fire and endless pain. [Verse 2] Every step, a deeper grave, No mercy left, no one to save. The man I was, a hollow shade, Buried in the debt I’ve paid. [Pre-Chorus] "And I curse the stars, I curse the sky, For letting love be born to die." [Chorus] (A battle cry of anguish, strings screaming in the background.) Take my name, take my soul, I walk the path of blackened gold. No gods will hear, no light remains, Only fire and endless pain. [Bridge] (Music slows, eerie whispers creeping in, his mind breaking.) I begged the dark to take me whole, To burn my flesh, to break my soul. But still I breathe, still I stand, A wretched beast in cursed land. (A deep silence, then—) "Let me die… or make me more." [Final Chorus] (Drums pounding like war drums, choirs chanting in a forgotten tongue.) Take my name, take my soul, I walk the path of blackened gold. No gods will hear, no light remains, Only fire… and endless pain. [Outro] (The music fades into a distant, echoing choir) "No light remains…"
