Lyrics: [Verse 1] At dusk the sealed note came Pressed with wax and thorn A patron named in silence Sent for what was sworn The road was mapped in moonlit marks Past fen and broken stone No coin for pride, no claim, no fame Only the task alone [Pre-Chorus] Through alder roots and iron rain The path stayed thin, then clear Each gate was judged by weight and latch Each warning held near [Chorus] The ethereal dagger Resting where the deep halls breathe Glass-bright, cold as river Taken for the keeping fee The ethereal dagger Lifted from the hidden shelf Delivered as the contract called Never kept for self [Verse 2] Below the hill, the watchfires dimmed Beyond the rusted chain A sleeping vault of carved black steps Where old seals held the name One ward was cut by measured breath One lock by careful hand One stone was turned, one cloth was drawn One trace of dust was scanned [Pre-Chorus] No oath was broken on the way No step grew loud or wide Only the narrow art of leaving What was not inside [Chorus] The ethereal dagger Resting where the deep halls breathe Glass-bright, cold as river Taken for the keeping fee The ethereal dagger Lifted from the hidden shelf Delivered as the contract called Never kept for self [Bridge] At dawn the bridge mist thinned to gold The parcel tied in cord A sealed mark waited for the hand That named and paid and stored The road behind was swallowed whole By reed and rising dew And all that crossed the waking light Was proof the work was true [Chorus] The ethereal dagger Resting where the deep halls breathe Glass-bright, cold as river Taken for the keeping fee The ethereal dagger Lifted from the hidden shelf Delivered as the contract called Never kept for self #fantasymusic #tabletoprpg #dnd #tavernmusic #bardmusic
