Royal Roulette | Dark Fantasy Medieval Folk & D&D Court Intrigue (Lyrics Video)

#DarkFantasy #MedievalFolk #DnDMusic "Royal Roulette" is a dark medieval folk song about the most envied servant at court: a royal food taster invited to every feast because his life is cheaper than the monarch's. Each course looks like a privilege, but every bite gives the assassin another chance. 🍷 Set a place for this song in any Dungeons & Dragons campaign where the banquet looks flawless, every noble is smiling, and someone in the room has already chosen the victim. Welcome to Lyra Vesperi, where luxury and cruelty are often served on the same plate. 🎵 Lyrics: I stare at the platter and pick up the meat Ignoring the poison disguised as a treat I drink from the crystal and finish the wine Suppressing the shiver that rolls down my spine The monarch is smiling and passing the bread While I am just waiting to see if I'm dead I wipe off my mouth and I stand by the chair Consuming the panic that hangs in the air The silver is polished and catches the light But hides every secret they bury at night I bow to the lords as they gather around And pray that I never collapse to the ground I test every dish for the crown To swallow the treachery down They envy the elegant meat But terror is all that I eat The luxury given is only a thread I finish the supper with nothing but dread Just waiting to see if the poison will spread! The banquet is perfect, the flavors are grand The finest of spices across the whole land A thousand poor beggars would envy my seat And beg for a chance at the food that I eat But nobody sees how my sanity breaks With every magnificent swallow I make A peasant who lives like a prince of the court But keeping you breathing is merely a sport The riches and glory are turning to dust Whenever a servant betrays all your trust I smile at the chef and I swallow the fear Knowing the killer is already here I test every dish for the crown To swallow the treachery down They envy the elegant meat But terror is all that I eat The luxury given is only a thread I finish the supper with nothing but dread Just waiting to see if the poison will spread! The sugar is laced, a terrible taste I gasp for the air, but nobody's there The water is clear, but hiding the fear A drop in the cup is burning me up A grip on my throat, a treacherous note The room starts to spin, so let the ghost in The sugar is laced, a terrible taste I gasp for the air, but nobody's there! I test every dish for the crown To swallow the treachery down They envy the elegant meat But terror is all that I eat The luxury given is only a thread I finish the supper with nothing but dread Just waiting to see if the poison will spread! --- 🎚️ Audio Mix: BandLab 🎨 Visuals: Vizzy + Image 2.0 🎶 Music: Suno AI 📜 Concept & Lyrics: Lyra Vesperi --- 🛡️ Continue the Adventure: ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfrZ6tmrmxqRk44eRYqC1izOLOchs63Z2 ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfrZ6tmrmxqRLuWbU5eS8X-3EVDeEdHje 🎶 Stream the music everywhere: https://map.lyravesperi.com 💎 Join the Guild for exclusive perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyKMXQn_Wd43N8mU9Nb7-5w/join
