A challenge was thrown at me - and I don't know if I succeeded. Thanks @RAZORrrrrr , this was great idea! Of course, the writing of the lyrics started earlier, some time ago I did a little research into the Witcher world, with the Netflix series and through the books I read. I tried to edit the lyrics into words that describe the pain of being a witcher, but at the same time the professional pride they carry. And this song is NOT about Geralt, but about the whole professional group.
So here it is, The Path, my homage to Sapkowski's wonderful series of books and great games! I hope you like it, LIGHT AND JOY!
The Path
lyrics by @blockker
Born from fear, shaped by fire,
The mutagens forged what life required
Childhood crushed beneath their creed,
A weapon honed, not born to bleed
In the still of night, where the monsters prowl,
I carry their screams, each final howl
Steel for men, and silver for beasts,
But nothing for the ghosts that feast
CHORUS - PART 1
The Path is cruel, the Path is long,
A cursed refrain, an endless song
The blood I spill, the toll it takes,
The witcher’s path, the soul it breaks
CHORUS - PART 2
The Trail is harsh, the Trail is cold,
A hunter walks where none are bold
The White Wolf’s steps, they leave no trace,
But mark the scars of a life displaced
Golden eyes see what lies beneath,
But the truths they find bring no relief
The peasants fear, the nobles sneer,
Yet still they call when danger's near
No family waits, no rest is found,
Only contracts on forsaken ground
The Trail ahead is paved with strife,
A lonely road, a hunter’s life
CHORUS - PART 1
The Path is cruel, the Path is long
A cursed refrain, an endless song
The blood I spill, the toll it takes,
The witcher’s path, the soul it breaks
CHORUS - PART 2
The Trail is harsh, the Trail is cold,
A hunter walks where none are bold
The White Wolf’s steps, they leave no trace,
But mark the scars of a life displaced
The monsters I fight reflect my core,
A shattered life, forever at war
Bound to the Trail, no peace in sight,
A shadow moving through endless night
So light your fires, lock your gates,
Speak of the hunters who share my fate
For on this Path, no soul is spared,
Each step I take, my life….
The Path is cruel, the Path is long,
An endless march through right and wrong
The Trail is harsh, the Trail is cold,
And I walk it still, my story untold
The Path is cruel, the Path is long,
An endless march through right and wrong
The Trail is harsh, the Trail is cold,
And I walk it still, my story untold
...
The Path is cruel, the Path is long
...
An endless march through right and wrong
...
The Trail is harsh, the Trail is cold
...
And I walk it still, my story untold
