DM Kel - The Oathbreaker's Path VI: The Battlefield Hymn Lyrics

In the silence of the night, I stand
Heart gripped tight, sword in hand
Duty calls, but so does she
In my mind, a raging sea
In the shadows of my thoughts, I fight alone
Sworn to my god, yet her song's undertone
Her voice, a whisper, calling to my soul
Desire's flame flickers, threatening control
Oh divine, guide my way
In this night, don't let me sway
Duty calls, your light I seek
But her song makes me weak
Oh divine, I beg, I pray
Show me the path, lead the way
In the silence, I strain to hear
But your voice, it won't appear
In the dead of night, I tread the line
Between sacred duty and her dark design
Her eyes, a void, pulling me deep
In their depths, promises she keeps
I see her face in every dream
Her touch a whisper, her voice a scream
The path of light, once so clear
Now muddied by shadows, filled with fear
Each step I take, a battle within
As I wrestle with the lure of sin
Her melody, a haunting tune
That rises with the ghostly moon
Every prayer, a plea in vain
Echoes back with no refrain
In the stillness, her song persists
A siren's call I can't resist
I think of oaths, once so pure
Now tainted by desires allure
Her words, sweet venom in my veins
Promise freedom from these chains
The light grows dim, my vision blurred
Every note, every word
Weaves a spell around my heart
Threatening to tear me apart
In the shadows, I hear her laugh
A sound that splits my soul in half
She speaks of freedom, of release
Of a world where pain will cease
But in her eyes, I see the lie
A darkness that I can't deny
The battle rages, fierce and wild
Between the knight and the beguiled
I remember days of faith and grace
When I stood strong in holy place
Now, I wander, lost and torn
In the grip of the night's forlorn
Her song, a beacon, dark and bright
Guides me through this endless night
I fight the urge, to fall, to yield
To let her song become my shield
But duty calls, a distant bell
Reminding me of heaven and hell
My sword grows heavy in my hand
As I struggle to understand
Is this my fate, my final stand
To be swayed by love's command
Or can I find a way to see
The light that once set me free
In this abyss, where shadows play
I seek a glimpse of dawn's first ray
But her song, it binds, it ties
And in its grip, my hope dies
I call out, one last time
For guidance, for a sign
But silence is my only friend
As I walk this path to the end
Oh divine, guide my way
In this night, don't let me sway
Duty calls, your light I seek
But her song makes me weak
Oh divine, I beg, I pray
Show me the path, lead the way
In the silence, I strain to hear
But your voice, it won't appear
Oh divine, guide my way
In this night, don't let me sway
Duty calls, your light I seek
But her song makes me weak
Oh divine, I beg, I pray
Show me the path, lead the way
In the silence, I strain to hear
But your voice, it won't appear
In the twilight's glow, I make my stand,
To end the madness, by my own hand.
A paladin's heart, weary but bold,
In this battlefield hymn, my story unfolds.
Oh divine, guide my way
In this night, don't let me sway
Duty calls, your light I seek
But her song makes me weak
She makes me weak
She makes me weak
She makes me weak
She makes me...
