Lyrics: [Verse 1] At dusk the contract came sealed Under wax and ash A name in no tongue spoken A mark in the margin drawn Through tollgate rain and barley fields The road kept its counsel No banner flew for this errand Only a pouch and a path [Pre-Chorus] Past the mill with broken teeth Past the well gone still The keep slept under ivy And the gate held fast [Chorus] Jade figure in the dark Small hands, old and green Taken by contract Returned to the unseen Jade figure in the dark No claim, no keeping One quiet lift from ruin And the work is done [Verse 2] Below the chapel floorstone Where roots had worried time A lock of rusted iron Guarded the hidden stair Three turns, then the narrow shaft Stone sweat and cold breath Past bones of ruined lanterns Past bats in a blackened niche [Pre-Chorus] A sigil cut in limestone Answered by a tap Then the seam gave slowly Like a held-back sigh [Chorus] Jade figure in the dark Small hands, old and green Taken by contract Returned to the unseen Jade figure in the dark No claim, no keeping One quiet lift from ruin And the work is done [Bridge] Deep in the vault of roots and clay A cracked reliquary waited Wrapped in oilcloth, bound in twine Dust lying thick as sleep No prayer was borrowed for the road No trophy crossed that threshold Only the measured turning back With the sealed purse left whole [Final Chorus] Jade figure in the dark Small hands, old and green Taken by contract Returned to the unseen Jade figure in the dark No claim, no keeping Through ruin, root, and silence The work is done #fantasymusic #tabletoprpg #dnd #tavernmusic #bardmusic
