Nurvana #5 | Theme Song for Chapter 1: Trapped in Fasar

Chapter 1 in our TDE (The Dark Eye) campaign Nurvana. The players meet in Fasar and begin their journey. Lyrics: [Intro] No walls. No mercy. No one leaves unpaid. [Verse I] Under the teeth of the mountain, Where the evening falls too soon, The towers drink the sunlight And sell back pieces of the moon. Bridges cross above the hungry, Silk and steel above the dust. Every smile has got a price here, Every kindness wears a rust. [Refrain] Mother of cities, Mother of schemes, Open your gates And swallow our dreams. [Verse II] One came chasing desert thunder, One came bound to signs in flame. One came north with shadowed orders, One came south with blood and shame. Not as brothers. Not as chosen. Not as heroes carved in stone. Only strangers in the current, Each one hunted, each alone. [Pre-Chorus] Then the crowd became a weapon, Then the arena learned to scream. A false shadow crossed the sand, And nothing after that was clean. [Chorus] Run through Fasar, Fire in the street. Gold on the towers, Blood at your feet. Run through Fasar, Debt in your hand. The city has chosen What you don't understand. [Verse III] Arrows burned across the alleys, Steel rang out beneath the cries. A tablet fell between the thieves' hands, A broken sun in borrowed lies. Priests of blood and masked magicians, Dwarven grudges, market smoke. Four lost roads were tied together When the black academy spoke. [Bridge] Tea steam. Library dust. Names in a language of ash. Nurti sleeps. Bones remember. Secrets move faster than cash. A smile opened the prison door. A bargain wore a chain. The city called it mercy. The wise called it a claim. [Final Chorus] Run from Fasar, Out toward the bone-white sand. Carry the shard of a story No one yet can understand. Run from Fasar, But hear what the towers know: What begins as a chase in the city Will wake what sleeps below. [Outro] No walls. No mercy. The road turns east. The valley waits.
