Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cave Creek slept in the mountain’s shade Where ironwood bends and red dust swayed Watchfires burned on the canyon rim Men swore no beast would be walking in In the yard by the smith where the hammers rang Sat the Baywhar Babe with a broken fang Stormcastle’s ship with her wings laid bare While the townfolk worked on her wounded air. [Chorus] Hold the line for Cave Creek tonight Blades in the firelight, hearts in the fight But something dark was waiting to wake Deep in the blood the Gnar wizard takes When the bells all rang and the gates swung wide That’s when the truth cut deep inside The beasts weren’t breaking the walls that day… The enemy rose from the souls we saved. [Verse 2] Stormcastle’s children took the wall Where the canyon wind begins to call Steel in hand and powder bright Driving the Gnar from the stones that night Wyverns screamed and arrows flew Every beast that came they slew Cave Creek roared like a lion’s den With Strongcastle steel among its men. [Chorus] Hold the line for Cave Creek tonight Blades in the firelight, hearts in the fight But something dark was waiting to wake Deep in the blood the Gnar wizard takes When the bells all rang and the gates swung wide That’s when the truth cut deep inside The beasts weren’t breaking the walls that day… The enemy rose from the souls we saved. [Verse 3] Then through the smoke on the shattered plain Came a wizard walking among the slain One empty sleeve where his hand had been And a cold slow smile on his crooked grin He raised that arm to the burning sky Whispered words no man should cry And captains turned with hollow eyes Friends stood still like puppets tied. [Bridge] The Gnar he planted long ago Woke like worms in the skull below Councilmen and captains brave Felt their thoughts begin to cave Chains were dropped and the gate swung wide And the mountain roared with a crawling tide. [Final Chorus] Hold the line for Cave Creek tonight But the walls were drowning in claw and bite Too many beasts and the towers fell Under the Gnar wizard’s broken spell Down in the yard through sparks and flame They ran for the wounded Baywhar Babe With half-made wings and a coughing roar She clawed for the sky from the canyon floor. [Chorus] Rise up now, you broken dame Fly, old girl, Baywhar Babe Gnar claws climbing the canyon side Smoke and fire in the midnight sky Stormcastle blood at the wheel that day Dragging the wounded souls away Barely clearing the mountain’s keep… While Cave Creek burned in the valley deep. [Outro] Now canyon winds through the ruins moan Past shattered gate and blackened stone And riders swear when the dusk runs deep You can hear lost bells of Cave Creek weep For a town that fought till its final breath… Till the Gnar turned honor itself to death.
