Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots on the beam Breath held Heartbeat thin Lantern glow on the floorboards But they never see me slip in Loose nail I know it Third stone hides the key Every sigh in this tavern Is a curtain for me [Chorus] I’m a shadowstep serenade Steel in my sleeve Smile on parade If you feel a hand It’s already too late While the crowd sings loud I’m gone through the gate I’m a shadowstep serenade Dancing on the edge of the blade [Verse 2] Dice cup rattles Coins flash Then fade You swear your purse was heavy Till you notice the braid in your braid (hey…) Balcony rafters Lute on my back I play a tune for the nobles While I empty their racks [Chorus] I’m a shadowstep serenade Steel in my sleeve Smile on parade If you feel a hand It’s already too late While the crowd sings loud I’m gone through the gate I’m a shadowstep serenade Dancing on the edge of the blade [Bridge] Sometimes I dream of daylight work Of honest hands and open dirt Then a purse-string sighs A secret calls And I’m already climbing castle walls (oh) [Chorus] I’m a shadowstep serenade Steel in my sleeve Smile on parade If you feel a hand It’s already too late While the crowd sings loud I’m gone through the gate I’m a shadowstep serenade Dancing on the edge of the blade

Medieval fantasy tavern pop: bright lute and fingerstyle guitar over a soft drum pulse, subtle low strings for mystery. Verses stay hushed and nimble; chorus swells with gang vocals and stomps, like rogues chanting along by the fire. Occasional whistle lines double the hook; male vocals with sly, playful delivery and close-up intimacy.
