Ballad of Strahd
Song heard in Barovian tavern
[Verse 1]
In Barovia's veiled and shadowed land,
Where mist and fear go hand in hand,
There rules a lord, dark and severe,
Whose very name we dare not sneer.
[Chorus]
All hail Strahd, the night's undying king,
Under his gaze, our hearts tremble and sing.
In his castle high, where silence falls deep,
Barovia weeps, as her lord never sleeps.
[Verse 2]
From lands of grief, his dominion grew,
None have bested him, this we rue.
Eternal master, with eyes like coals,
Claiming our lands, and ensnaring our souls.
[Bridge]
Yet in his might, a terror hides,
A longing heart that within him bides.
For love he lost to time's cruel jest,
In Tatyana's grace, his soul finds no rest.
[Chorus]
All hail Strahd, the night's undying king,
Under his gaze, our hearts tremble and sing.
In his castle high, where silence falls deep,
Barovia weeps, as her lord never sleeps.
[Verse 3]
