#thedeadbardsjournal Arc III – The Kingdom's Shadows Page 51 - The King's Watch [Verse I] When daylight dies, our watch begins. We walk where every shadow grins. With lantern high and steel at side... We guard the streets where families hide. Each cobbled road. Each market square. We know the footsteps carried there. The darkest alley, narrow and tight... Has learned to fear our lantern's light. [Chorus] Shadows may hide... Shadows may roam... None shall fear The walk back home. Bear the flame. Search the night. Every shadow Yields to light. [Verse II] The Guild moves softly through the dark. No whispered step escapes its mark. They know the roofs. They know the rain... Yet every thief leaves tracks the same. For every lock they learn to break... A trail of silence still they make. The patient eye. The steady flame... Will one day learn a hidden name. [Chorus] Shadows may hide... Shadows may roam... None shall fear The walk back home. Bear the flame. Search the night. Every shadow Yields to light. [Verse III] No crown has asked us not to tire. No coin could buy a watchman's fire. We stand because the weak deserve... A sleepless hand. A steadfast nerve. No song is sung when dawn arrives. No tale recalls our quiet lives. Yet every child who sleeps tonight... Has placed their trust within our light. [Verse IV] We've seen the square. We've heard the bell. We've watched where broken dreamers fell. The headsman's road is not our aim... We'd rather you never learn his name. So choose the dawn. Forsake the night. Step from the dark into the light. For every soul the shadow keeps... We'll search until the city sleeps. [Final Chorus] Shadows may hide... Shadows may roam... None shall fear The walk back home. Bear the flame. Search the night. Every shadow Yields to light. #epicmusic #medievalmusic #kingsguard #fantasymusic
