Verse 1
Silent halls and shadows stir, beneath the weight of years,
A people lost, a people bound, by terror, blood, and fear.
The Spider Queen’s voice is gone, her whispers cold and still,
In silence, we find the strength, to rise against her will.
Hook 1:
Through webs of fate, through endless night,
We march toward the distant light.
No longer chained, no longer blind,
A spark of hope is left behind.
Chorus
Breaking the chains, we lift our eyes,
To skies unseen, to freedom’s cries.
Through sorrow’s call, through fire and strife,
We walk as one toward a new life.
Verse 2
In caverns deep, we gather near, our voices soft and low,
A sisterhood, a brotherhood, united by a silent vow.
We dream of stars, of open skies, far from this cursed place,
Where we can walk as drow reborn, no longer bound by hate.
Bridge
Oh, Eilistraee, hear our prayer,
Guide us through this dark despair.
With blades unsheathed, with courage worn,
We rise anew, we are reborn.
Chorus
Breaking the chains, we lift our eyes,
To skies unseen, to freedom’s cries.
Through sorrow’s call, through fire and strife,
We walk as one toward a new life.
Solo
[Empowering instrumental solo – a mix of sorrowful and uplifting riffs, echoing the drow’s pain and their yearning for freedom. It’s a journey from despair to determination, with a melody that climbs toward hope.]
Verse 3
We leave behind the shadows deep, our ancient fears, our endless lies,
With every step, we break the web, that bound our hearts, that dimmed our eyes.
In moonlight pure, in forests vast, a world unknown awaits,
Where we will find the strength to live, beyond the Queen’s cruel gates.
Hook 2:
No more her slaves, no more her prey,
We turn our backs, we make our way.
To fields of green, to night’s embrace,
Our journey starts in this sacred place.
Chorus
Breaking the chains, we lift our eyes,
To skies unseen, to freedom’s cries.
Through sorrow’s call, through fire and strife,
We walk as one toward a new life.
Outro
Through starless paths, through distant dreams, we hear her gentle call,
The Dark Maiden’s song of peace and hope, beyond the Underdark’s thrall.
So hand in hand, our spirits soar, the light of dawn in view,
Together bound, yet breaking free, a people born anew.
