About: A call to arms to defend freedom. A song I wrote about the last battle from the final book in my epic fantasy series The Comrades of the Sword.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: The Shadow of Darkness] In days of yore, where shadows creep, In lands of Tardu, dark and deep, The fires of war, they fiercely blaze, In blood and strife, the tribes in haze.

[Pre-Chorus] The rivers tainted, crimson flows, Corpses lie where the battle grows.

[Chorus] Comrades, the darkness claims the night, No end in sight, no hope, no light. Oh blessed Nurin, shall we see, The resplendent lights of liberty?

[Verse 2: The Comrade’s Call] The Light Reavers march, hearts of stone, Their mercy lost, their souls unknown. Through fields once green, their shadows loom, Bringing death and endless gloom.

[Pre-Chorus] Is there no end to this dark plight, No dawn to break this endless night?

[Chorus] Comrades, the darkness claims the night, No end in sight, no hope, no light. Oh blessed Nurin, shall we see, The resplendent lights of liberty?

[Verse 3: The Lament of the Fallen] Comrades, my tears fall like the rain, Flowing with the blood, the endless pain. Defeat and sorrow weigh us down, In cries of anguish, we nearly drown.

[Pre-Chorus] The people call for a savior’s hand, To rise against, to take a stand.

[Chorus] Comrades, the darkness claims the night, No end in sight, no hope, no light. Oh blessed Nurin, shall we see, The resplendent lights of liberty?

[Verse 4: The Legacy of Nurin] The dead King sleeps, but his spirit calls, In us, his heirs, through ancient halls. We are the light in darkest times, The Children of Nurin, our fate aligns.

[Pre-Chorus] As one we stand, as one we fight, A beacon in the endless night.

[Chorus] Comrades, the darkness claims the night, No end in sight, no hope, no light. Oh blessed Nurin, shall we see, The resplendent lights of liberty?

[Outro] In the name of Nurin, we shall prevail, As the last of his line, we tell his tale. Children of Nurin, forever strong, In the face of darkness, we carry on.
