A Song of Sadness and Woe Lyrics

In the aftermath

The city burns

City burns

Ashes fall like memories,

And my heart yearns

Vespra's streets, now silent,

Speak of pain

The echoes of laughter,

Now drowned in flame

My home, my haven,

Now a grave

Where once we lived,

Loved, now none to save

My wife, my daughter,

Gone with the light

In the darkness, I search for a spark,

Something bright

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is shattered

Lost in the woe

I cry out to you

My love, my guide

In this abyss

Where shadows hide

Help me, show me

What should I do?

In this world of fire

I need you

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is broken

Lost in the flow

I call your name

Through smoke and ash

In this desolation

Where dreams crash

Guide me, love

Through this despair

In this world of flames

I need you there

I walk through ruins

Each step a scar

The faces of my past

Gone too far

I see their smiles

In the smoke and haze

Their laughter

Now a haunting phrase

Could I have saved them

If I were there?

Could I have fought the dark

Made it fair?

But here I stand

In the ash and bone

Vengeance calls

I feel it in my own

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is shattered

Lost in the woe

I cry out to you

My love, my guide

In this abyss

Where shadows hide

Help me, show me

What should I do?

In this world of fire

I need you

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is broken

Lost in the flow

I call your name

Through smoke and ash

In this desolation

Where dreams crash

Guide me, love

Through this despair

In this world of flames

I need you there

Vengeance is a path

Dark and cold

But what else remains,

For a heart so bold?

I'll shed the past

Embrace the night

Become the monster

With shadows' might

For Aric, the traitor

Must pay his due

For tearing apart

What I once knew

I'll bring hell to this world

Unleash the beast

No mercy, no quarter

None released

From this day

My soul is sealed

In shadows' embrace

My fate revealed

My love, my daughter

This I vow

Aric will fall

I'll show him how

The monster inside

I'll let it rise

For in this vengeance

Our memory never dies

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is shattered

Lost in the woe

I cry out to you

My love, my guide

In this abyss

Where shadows hide

Help me, show me

What should I do?

In this world of fire

I need you

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is broken

Lost in the flow

I call your name

Through smoke and ash

In this desolation

Where dreams crash

Guide me, love

Through this despair

In this world of flames

I need you there

I vow to return to the monster I was

Forsaking all light

Embracing the cause

My mind will break

My heart will harden

For vengeance

My soul I'll darken

I'll show this world the wrath I bring

Each step a dirge

Each strike a sting

My hands will turn to weapons of might

Forged in pain

Shrouded in night

I won't stop until justice is claimed

Their blood will flow

Their souls named

In your name

My love, I pledge

To scourge the earth

To raze the edge

Until she's avenged

I won't relent

Every breath, every thought, my intent

Prepare, Aric

For the storm I command

For vengeance is here

By my hand

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is shattered

Lost in the woe

I cry out to you

My love, my guide

In this abyss

Where shadows hide

Help me, show me

What should I do?

In this world of fire

I need you

Why did you leave me?

Where did you go?

My heart is broken

Lost in the flow

I call your name

Through smoke and ash

In this desolation

Where dreams crash

Guide me, love

Through this despair

In this world of flames

I need you there

In the embers

A new path starts

Forged in loss

With vengeful hearts

Aric, prepare

For what's to come

The hunter's rise

Your end begun

The flames will guide

My wrath unfurled

For in this darkness

I embrace the world
