#thedeadbardsjournal Arc III – The Kingdom's Shadows Page 47 - The Thieves' Guild [Verse I] When daylight fades, our work begins. The quiet streets conceal our sins. We wear no crowns. We bear no name. The shadows know us all the same. No lock was forged we could not learn. No purse so light we'd never turn. The moon keeps watch, the lanterns sleep... The city has its secrets to keep. [Chorus] Count your coins. Lock every door. We've heard those promises before. The night is patient. So are we... What sleeps with you won't always be. [Verse II] The merchants count what they have lost. The nobles curse the growing cost. They hire guards and build stone walls... Still every fortress somehow falls. The watch may search from door to door. They'll find less than they found before. For every hand they think they've chained... Three more are waiting in the rain. [Chorus] Count your coins. Lock every door. We've heard those promises before. The night is patient. So are we... What sleeps with you won't always be. [Verse III] Some steal for hunger. Some for gold. Some chase a dream they cannot hold. But every oath within these halls... Is never spoken above these walls. If one should fall, no names are said. The living walk. We mourn the dead. For every shadow lost from sight... Another steps into the night. [Verse IV] We've heard the bell. We've seen the square. The headsman's road is always there. He bears the blade. He bears the weight... We simply choose another fate. We curse him not. We know his trade. The law must walk where law is made. So keep your hood, your hands, your grin... And never let the light walk in. [Final Chorus] Count your coins. Lock every door. We've heard those promises before. The night is patient. So are we... What sleeps with you won't always be. #bardsong #fantasymusic #epicmusic #thievesguild
