#DnDMusic #BardSong #FantasyFolk Twenty pages. A burning temple, a stolen crown, a name she never says out loud. She has rehearsed the ending, she has picked the exact pause before the tears — and in six months at this table, not one person has asked. This original D&D bard song is an upbeat medieval tavern song about a tabaxi adventurer with a tragic past and an audience of zero. A fiddle-driven celtic folk drinking song for everyone who has ever written a backstory nobody read. 🎧 More bard songs on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mpNdXU4kg1tFpovnK1LMN 🍺 The Bard speaks... "Twenty pages. A burning temple, and a name she will not say. Six months, and not one of them asked.

That's fine, that's fine, that's fine— My father was a king. My mother was a storm. The fighter asked the barkeep if there's any more of the bread. I was raised inside a temple that has burned three times since then. The wizard said, "Oh — sorry, what?" and went on up to bed. Nobody asked me! Nobody asked! I have got a tragedy that's built to last! There's a curse, there's a crown, there's a name I never say— so I'll hold it one more day, and nobody asked! I have got three old prophecies. They have got three kinds of cheese. I said, "And then I was exiled." The rogue said, "Cool," and left. I have practiced how I'd tell it for nine and a half years, with a pause before the ending and a place to put my tears. Nobody asked me! Nobody asked! I have got a tragedy that's built to last! There's a curse, there's a crown, there's a name I never say— so I'll hold it one more day, and nobody asked! I have got the whole thing ready. I could do it in the rain. I could do it in a dungeon, I could do it on a train of thought that nobody would follow— and the paladin looked up, and she looked me in the eye, and she asked me for the cup. And maybe they don't need it. Maybe they took me on faith. Maybe you don't have to earn it when somebody's already stayed. So I folded up the pages and I put them in my coat, and I laughed at something stupid, and I let the evening float. Then the quiet one beside me slid a mug along the wood, and she said, "Chapter Nine was beautiful." She'd read the whole thing. Every word. She could. Nobody asked me! Nobody asked! I have got a tragedy that's built to last! There's a curse, there's a crown, there's a name I never say— so I'll hold it one more day, and nobody asked! Somebody asked. Somebody asked. Somebody read it, front to back. There's a curse, there's a crown, there's a name I never say— and I'll say it to her. Someday. Someday. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world.
