#thedeadbardsjournal Arc II – The Call of the Sea Page 38 - The Keeper of the Light [Verse I] Each setting sun, each rising dawn, I climbed the steps while stars looked on. With weathered hands and lantern bright, I kept my watch beside the light. No songs were sung to speak my name. No lord bestowed a crown or fame. Yet every night, through rain or foam... I helped the lost ones find their home. [Chorus] Hold the flame... don't let it fade. Stand your ground though skies betray. One small light against the night... May guide a soul back home alive. [Verse II] The storm arrived with roaring breath. It carried whispers cold as death. No sailor's cry... no gull's refrain... Just one soft voice within the rain. It called so sweet... It called so near... A song I'd hoped I'd never hear. [Chorus] Hold the flame... don't let it fade. Stand your ground though skies betray. One small light against the night... May guide a soul back home alive. [Verse III] I poured more oil upon the flame. I fed the fire all the same. Though sleep called loud beyond the shore... I climbed those winding steps once more. The beacon reached... Beyond my sight... Into the storm... A lonely light. [Final Chorus] Hold the flame... let brighter burn. Guide the souls who yet return. Though none may know... Or speak your name... Keep watch... Keep faith... Keep the flame. #epicmusic #fantasymusic #bardsongs #fantasystory
