I Bleed for the Light | Epic Dhampir Cleric Ballad [D&D Bard Music / Dark Celtic Folk]

She found a god of light — and the light found her, too. Half-mortal, half-shadow, she knelt at an altar that should have turned her away. Instead, it burned her. And she stayed. This is her prayer — for every soul who serves something that costs them everything. 🎵 I Bleed for the Light — A Songs of a Bard original Lyrics: I bleed for the light, I was born to serve I lay on hands though my hands don't deserve I call on the dawn but the dawn calls me cursed I bleed for the light — I have bled since the first My mother was mortal, my father was night I woke in the dark with a hunger for light I found a god's temple, I knelt on the stone I prayed till my knuckles bled — praying alone The priest said my kind had no place at the altar The light said come closer — the light didn't falter So I swore an oath on my broken blood To serve what burns me — as a cleric should And when the sun rises I feel it as fire And when the dark falls I feel something higher I don't know which part of me kneels and which bleeds But both of them pray — both of them need I've healed broken warriors, I've closed the death wound I've raised the near-fallen by the light of the moon They call me a saint when they don't see my teeth There's no saving throw for what lives underneath My spell slots are holy, my blood isn't clean I stand at the altar of everything I've been Half what my god made, half what my blood needs I kneel in the darkness and ask to be freed I am not the saint you prayed for I am not the dark you feared I am the wound the world made holy I am everything and neither — I am here Take my blood, take my prayer Take whatever god left there I will carry what I carry I will bleed what I must bleed I am cursed and I am faithful I am all that I will ever need I bleed for the light... I have always bled for the light... ───────────────────────────── 🎙️ Songs of a Bard — original fantasy music for adventurers, wanderers, and those who bleed for something greater.
