Verse 1
From caverns dark to moonlit land, we walked with shadows long,
Bound by hope, by whispered prayers, a place where we belong.
With sacred hands, we built anew, a temple pure and free,
The Promenade, our dream reborn, our sanctuary by the sea.
Pre-Chorus
In silence once, we wandered lost, beneath the Spider’s reign,
But now her chains are dust and ash, dissolved by light and flame.
Chorus
Oh, Promenade, our guiding light,
Through endless dark to freedom’s sight.
With open hearts, we raise our song,
A people free, redeemed, made strong.
Verse 2
Though shadows lurk beyond our walls, Lolth’s fury cold and near,
We stand as one, our voices proud, no room for doubt or fear.
Her wrath may come, her agents seek, to shatter what we’ve gained,
But here we find redemption’s grace, in bonds of love sustained.
Bridge
Oh, Dark Maiden, lift our souls, and guide us on this path,
Through trials fierce, through night’s embrace, and all Lolth’s vengeful wrath.
With stars above, our spirits rise, unbound, unbroken still,
A legacy of light we forge, a place of heart and will.
Chorus
Oh, Promenade, our guiding light,
Through endless dark to freedom’s sight.
With open hearts, we raise our song,
A people free, redeemed, made strong.
Solo
[Triumphant instrumental solo – a melody that soars with pride and hope, balanced by a reflective undertone, evoking both the strength of the Promenade’s foundation and the redemption found in each note.]
Verse 3
They call us traitors, they call us damned, still bound to Lolth’s deceit,
But here we rise, a people true, no longer slaves to fear or defeat.
In forests deep, in moonlight pure, we stand for those to come,
To forge a legacy of peace, for every daughter, every son.
Final Chorus
Oh, Promenade, our guiding light,
Through endless dark to freedom’s sight.
With open hearts, we raise our song,
A people free, redeemed, made strong.
Outro
Through gentle night and morning’s grace, this sacred ground we claim,
For those who seek a life reborn, beyond the Spider’s name.
In every heart, in every hand, a promise we hold dear,
The Promenade, our shining hope, a light that casts out fear.
