Lyrics: [Verse 1] The seal was pressed in wax By a hand no one named A route in the margins A price already claimed Down past the threshing fields Where the old stones lean and wait The terms were read in silence And the clock was set by fate [Pre-Chorus] No banners for this crossing No prayer to slow the feet Only measured breath And the hush between the beats The road bent through bracken To a ruin under root Where dust kept old instructions And the dark kept every tooth [Chorus] The eternal quiver Taken by contract From the buried vault And returned intact The eternal quiver No trace in the mud Only a clean conclusion And a marked red seal in blood [Verse 2] Under iron briar arches Past a bell half-swallowed whole The locks were all forgotten But the hinges still took toll A lantern kept beneath the cloak Lit just enough to see The web of thread and powder Set across the final key [Pre-Chorus] One step for the shadows One pause for the wire One turn of the wrist And the false tale retires Then the chamber gave its answer With a groan of stone and air A lacquered case lay waiting Like it had been placed by care [Chorus] The eternal quiver Taken by contract From the buried vault And returned intact The eternal quiver No trace in the mud Only a clean conclusion And a marked red seal in blood [Bridge] It held a hundred arrows Kept dry through flood and rot A sliver of old yew Bound in ash and silver knot It was not for keeping It was not for praise It was weighed, then wrapped, then carried Through the ruin's narrow maze [Final Chorus] The eternal quiver Taken by contract From the buried vault And returned intact The eternal quiver Delivered unseen A completed duty To the patron in between [Outro] By dawn the path was empty By noon the seal was dry And the road forgot the footsteps As if they had passed by #fantasymusic #tabletoprpg #dnd #tavernmusic #bardmusic
