Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken / Chanted] “Hear ye, travelers— the tale of a knight, who mistook steel for salvation, and found only the grave…” --- [Verse 1 – The Knight] I rode ‘neath banners torn and frayed, Through haunted fields where kingdoms decayed. The crows sang hymns of crownless kings, I swore my oath on broken rings. --- [Pre-Chorus – Narrator / Warlock] Beneath the moon’s eclipse you’ll find, No quest for honor—only crime. Your blade, a curse… your shield, a lie— Welcome, knight… it’s time to die! --- [Chorus – Both, Call & Response] Knight: Raise the steel, let the heavens quake! Narrator: Every oath you swore was a grave mistake! Knight: Torch the dark, may the fiends abate! Narrator: But the Black Keep hungers—you can’t escape! Together: Ohhh, the walls are bleeding, The bells are screaming… This is the dungeon of your fate— The gallows sing your serenade! --- [Verse 2 – The Knight] Through dungeons deep with cobwebs bound, I heard the screams of the lost resound. Each step I took, the stones would sigh, The banners wept as if alive. --- [Bridge – Narrator / Warlock (Spoken, Theatrical)] “Your dice are cast, O knight of shame. The Dungeon Master knows your name. Roll the bones, a natural one— Your story ends, the fiends have won…” (Cue breakdown riff—double bass drums, shrieking guitars.) --- [Breakdown – Both] Knight (screamed): Slay the lich, break the chains, I won’t fall to endless pain! Narrator (growled): Your kingdom rots, your quest is ash— You’ll drown in blood, in the dragon’s laugh! --- [Final Chorus – Both, Layered Vocals] Knight: Raise the steel, let the heavens quake! Narrator: Every oath you swore was a grave mistake! Knight: Torch the dark, may the fiends abate! Narrator: The Keep consumes you—you can’t escape! Together (choir layered): Ohhh, the bards are weeping, The towers keening… This is the dungeon of your fate— The gallows sing your serenade! --- [Outro – Whisper / Chant] “In the annals of time, thy quest lies rotten. The knight is slain. The tale… forgotten.”
