What Lies Within | Medieval Tavern Song | Fantasy Folk for D&D (Lyrics Video)

Welcome to another night at The Salty Boar Tavern, dear friends! What Lies Within is a solemn, epic, and tragic dark folk ballad about the ultimate sacrifice: becoming the eternal prison for an ancient evil. Just as the legendary Black Knight seals a primordial beast within his iron shell, we all carry a hidden darkness within ourselves. The beast in this tale is a mirror to the raw, bestial feelings and destructive instincts we constantly repress with common sense, morality, and leniency. We build our own armors of civilization to keep the monster at bay, but this song brings a harsh and honest reflection: no matter how strong the chains, sooner or later, we all must face the demons that lie within. --------- 🎶 Stream & Sing along everywhere: https://hyperfollow.com/TheSaltyBoarT... == What Lies Within == The throne has crumbled into stone Yet still I keep this hall alone Empires vanished, banners torn I remain where vows were sworn Rust has claimed the royal gate Still I stand and still I wait Not for glory, not for war But for what lies evermore They see a king of endless night They never see the endless fight These crimson eyes are not my own They burn beneath this hollow throne Every breath, every hour, every sin Feeds the prisoner within Should these chains break in my soul Nothing left could make me whole So I stand where shadows end As a guardian until the end Legends crowned me lord of fear None recall why I am here Every tale forgot the cost Every name the ages lost Silence forged a heavier blade Than the ones that kingdoms made I have buried time itself Leaving nothing for my health No applause and no farewell Only one unbroken cell These crimson eyes are not my own They burn beneath this hollow throne Every breath, every hour, every sin Feeds the prisoner within Should these chains break in my soul Nothing left could make me whole So I stand where shadows end As a guardian until the end If another finds this place Do not kneel before my face Take the armor, take the flame Leave behind your mortal name What you guard can never die What you bear will never lie You won't wear a crown of gold Only darkness, growing old When this empty shell gives way Do not mourn what cannot stay Ashes fall, but not the chain Someone else must bear the pain These crimson eyes will seek new skin Still... the prison lies within May my final breath be thin Seal the prisoner within ---------- 🎲 For travelers and the RPG community: Most campaigns focus on drawing the sword and slaying the primordial beast, but what about the burden of containing it? Has your party ever encountered a terrifying "Black Knight" who was actually holding back a much greater threat? Or faced a defining moment in your campaign where a character's own repressed darkness and inner demons threatened to break free from their moral restraints?
