A welcome in her winter court carries an unsettling thought: your safety rests with someone who still wants what runs beneath your skin. She has chosen to give you a reason to trust her. Every night asks her to make that choice again. 🦇 Bring this one to a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with a vampire ally whose word is worth testing, or keep it close for a character determined to outgrow the life they inherited. Welcome to Lyra Vesperi, where the door to morning is still closed, and someone is keeping a place for her people on the other side. 🎵 Lyrics: They kept the grain from spoiling in the snow Then taught the frost how far a wound could go My rapier learned the distance of a breath And where to stop before a needless death They called their cruelty a noble right I learned their craft, but never loved their spite I woke a vampire in another's keep She named me spawn and watched me in my sleep She gave me fangs and taught me to obey I smiled and learned to wait another day At last my rapier found her hidden seam I took the keep, but not her cruel regime At the wrist, the rapier turns At the throat, the hunger burns She taught the fang to take its fill I taught the blade when not to kill Thirst is not a law; it is a need And need gives me no right to make you bleed A rapier's point can guard as well as take The difference is a vow I will not break The willing give (the willing give) I keep their blood in ice They name the terms (I name the terms) I pay the stated price One day I'll meet the sun upon the stair Not one of mine will pay to get me there Each donor names the price and sets the pace Then leaves with coin and color in their face We bank the blood where winter never thaws And put our own kind under harsher laws The ichor cools the fever in our veins But never frees us fully from its chains The harshest sentence falls upon my own No fang is pardoned just for being known Beyond my walls, I hear a stranger plead I ask what I may gain before I heed I've made mistakes I won't attempt to hide But none of mine will bleed to salve my pride Keep the blood beneath the ice Keep the bargain, pay its price Try the ichor, chart the need Never force a throat to bleed Set the law in winter stone Let it bind me on the throne Put my name among my kin Then let it judge me if I sin Thirst is not a law; it is a need And need gives me no right to make you bleed A rapier's point can guard as well as take The difference is a vow I will not break The willing give (the willing give) I keep their blood in ice They name the terms (I name the terms) I pay the stated price One day I'll meet the sun upon the stair Not one of mine will pay to get me there The doors stand wide; no iron keeps us in But morning draws a border on our skin Our winter stores can hold us through the night But neither gold nor steel can purchase light I ask no mortal's love or whispered prayer I want my kin to know the morning air Count the errors, count the cost Count the lives we haven't lost Measure where the ward gives way Measure what survives the day Still the hunger counts our years Still the daylight feeds our fears No one dies to buy my cure The risk is mine alone to endure One more trial, one more scar One more step beyond the bar The sun was never mine to win The tyrant is the thirst within Thirst is not a law; it is a need And need gives me no right to make you bleed A rapier's point can guard as well as take The difference is a vow I will not break The willing give (the willing give) I keep their blood in ice They name the terms (I name the terms) I pay the stated price One day I'll meet the sun upon the stair Not one of mine will pay to get me there ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfrZ6tmrmxqRk44eRYqC1izOLOchs63Z2 ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfrZ6tmrmxqRLuWbU5eS8X-3EVDeEdHje --- 🎚️ Audio Mix: BandLab 🎨 Visuals: Vizzy + Image 2.0 🎶 Music: Suno AI 📜 Concept & Lyrics: Lyra Vesperi
