the Fallen Keepers

*Verse 1:*
We were ten beneath the morning sky,
With hopes as bright as the sun on high,
We walked through fields of golden dreams,
But life was more than what it seemed.
One by one, we fell away,
Lost in the dark, fading to gray,
Each step we took was steeped in pain,
And yet we marched through wind and rain.
*Chorus:*
Oh, where have the keepers gone?
Silent now, their voices gone.
Once we were strong, ten hearts as one,
But shadows claimed us, one by one.
The sun still rises, the stars still gleam,
But we’re just whispers in a dream.
*Verse 2:*
Alain was the first to fall behind,
Chasing the dreams he could not find,
Kara’s fire was snuffed by rage,
The forest whispers wrote her page.
Lyra’s song, once pure and true,
Was taken by the lake’s cold blue,
And Harwin’s laugh was lost to sand,
His joy consumed by desert’s hand.
*Chorus:*
Oh, where have the keepers gone?
Silent now, their voices gone.
Once we were strong, ten hearts as one,
But shadows claimed us, one by one.
The sun still rises, the stars still gleam,
But we’re just whispers in a dream.
*Bridge:*
Thorin’s shield could not withstand,
The weight of duty in the land,
Nira, healer, kind and bright,
Succumbed to sorrow’s endless night.
Soren, Merek, both were lost,
In the Vale, they paid the cost,
And Fendrel, brave, at last gave way,
Leaving Elira to face the day.
*Chorus (soft):*
Oh, where have the keepers gone?
Silent now, their voices gone.
Once we were strong, ten hearts as one,
But shadows claimed us, one by one.
The sun still rises, the stars still gleam,
But we’re just whispers in a dream.
*Outro:*
Now Elira walks alone,
Carrying the weight of stone,
Her heart a vessel, full of light,
A flicker burning through the night.
Oh, we were ten, now only one,
Our time has passed, our song undone,
But in her heart, we still remain,
A song of love, a trace of pain.
