"Dyelle and the Well" - Lyrics
🕑 Added 2024-10-25 21:09:40 +0000 UTCDyelle stumbles from the woods
A meadow, the first she’s ever seen
How lovely
Oh, Dyelle…rolling in the grass
It’s greener than any from her past
How funny
A merchant rides up on a horse with a cart
And he says that “The Swampfolk don’t normally leave from the swamp.”
But he’s headed to town if she wants to come with
“Ride with me, the journey isn’t far.”
Adventure, calling out to her
So Dyelle climbs up on the cart
As answer
The village, quaint in how it’s made
But the townsfolk are looking at her strangely
How odd
The centre of town has a large ancient well
And the cart pulls beside it and merchant says
“What do you see?”
So she looks over edge, then he pushes her in
“Monstrous girl, you belong in the dark.”
The bottom of the well branches into catacombs
Fearful now, Dyelle tightly grips her Grandma’s bow
She heads down a hall, careful not to stumble or fall
Rats keep squeaking, the ceiling is leaking
The dark is the darkest that dark’s ever been
She finds a chamber and enters within
There’s a skeleton here with glowing red eyes
And an iron shield and an axe with spikes
And it swings at her neck but she falls back quick
And she thinks to herself
“It can’t end like this.”
Looses three quick arrows at her enemy’s chest
But they can’t break bone and there’s no more flesh
Dodges axe as it hacks makin’ cracks ’til the room starts to collapse
Then a break in the wall
Using her fingertips she rips ’til the stone starts to fall
And the light shines in
As she pulls herself out with a crawl
And she lays in a puddle with her heart beating fast
She didn’t know if she would last
She survived, she’s alive
And adventure’s not just a game that you play
It’s a risk that you take and a test of your strength
Adventure’s not just excitement its also pain, also pain
And she feels it
Subtle changes
She can do this
She can make it
