#DnDMusic #BardSong #PaladinSong Before the sun climbs the hill, she kneels where the cold ground meets the first light and makes the same vow she's made every dawn before a charge. This isn't a song about victory — it's a paladin's song of the vow, sung by a woman who has already measured the cost and paid it in advance. An original D&D bard song and fantasy folk ballad about the oath that stands between the innocent and the dark, and the quiet courage of showing up anyway. A reverent anthem for anyone who has ever sworn to hold the line, whatever it costs. 🎧 More bard songs on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mpNdXU4kg1tFpovnK1LMN 🍺 The Bard speaks... "She doesn't kneel because she's afraid. She kneels because the oath deserves that much before it asks for everything else. Then she stands, and the dawn stands with her." — Songs of a Bard 🎲 The Bard's Wares Gear I'd stake my lute on, traveler: ◦ ⚔️ The greatest D&D adventure on screen → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBRB73GD?tag=songsofabard-20 ◦ 🐉 Your first adventure starts here → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V84WNPK?tag=songsofabard-20 ◦ 🎲 Dice that roll like destiny → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F817H27?tag=songsofabard-20 ◦ 📖 The adventurer's tome → https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786969822?tag=songsofabard-20 As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 LYRICS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Before the sun has climbed the hill, I kneel where the cold ground meets the light. I don't ask to be spared from the fight — I ask to be the shield tonight. For I am the oath that I swore in the dark, I'm the line that the shadow won't cross. Let the whole world break, I will not break — I will stand, though it cost what it cost. I've no crown and I carry no throne, just a vow and the weight that it brings. When the frightened ones run, I run toward, and I hold where the last light clings. For I am the oath that I swore in the dark, I'm the line that the shadow won't cross. Let the whole world break, I will not break — I will stand, though it cost what it cost. They will not remember my name, and I never once needed them to. Let them wake to a morning I bought with the night — that's the oath, and the oath will hold true. So strike, if you're coming, I'm ready to stand, I have measured the cost and it's paid. Between you and the ones that I swore to defend there's a woman who will not be moved. And if I should fall in the grey of the dawn, lay my sword where the young ones can see. Tell them courage is only the oath that you keep when the keeping asks everything of thee. For I am the oath that I swore in the dark, I'm the line that the shadow won't cross. Let the whole world break, I will not break — I will stand, though it cost what it cost. For I am the oath that I swore in the light, I'm the wall, I'm the dawn, I'm the vow. Let the whole world break, I will not break — I am here, I am ready, and now. I am here. I am ready. And now. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world.
