But peace is fragile, and the world outside his door is burning again. This is the ballad of a man who never wanted to be a hero twice. 🔥⚔️ An emotional medieval tavern folk ballad with a driving, anthemic build — warm acoustic guitar, mournful fiddle, and pounding bodhrán carry this fantasy tale of an aging warrior torn between the peace he earned and the war that refuses to let him go.

I built a house of oak and stone, I learned to love the rain, I swore upon my brothers' graves I'd never fight again. I planted rows of barley where the battle lines once stood, I chopped my fire from the very oaks that watched me spill my blood. The village boys don't know my past, they see an old man's stare, They never guess these weathered hands once cut through blood and hair. But the war knows my name, oh, it whispers through the trees, It rides upon the north wind and it brings me to my knees. I only want the quiet life — a hearth, a home, a wife — But the war knows my name, and it calls me back to strife! The peddler came at harvest time with terror in his eyes, "The old king's dead, the borders bleed, the beacons light the skies." I told him I was just a farmer, told him twice, then thrice, But he looked upon my scars and knew — he'd heard that old man's lies. But the war knows my name, oh, it whispers through the trees, It rides upon the north wind and it brings me to my knees. I only want the quiet life — a hearth, a home, a wife — But the war knows my name, and it calls me back to strife! Oh, I have buried far too many friends beneath the sod, I've prayed to every banner, every devil, every god, I do not fight for glory now, nor gold, nor crown, nor throne — I fight so that this peace I love might live when I am gone. I kissed my wife upon the door, I told her not to weep, "This is the last time, I swear it — one more oath to keep." I walked the road I walked before, the one I thought was through, And every step reminded me why peace was never true. For the war knows my name, oh, it whispers through the trees, It rides upon the north wind and it brings me to my knees. I only want the quiet life — a hearth, a home, a wife — But the war knows my name... and it calls me back tonight! Aye, it calls me back tonight... It calls me back... It always calls... It calls... 🔔 Subscribe for more medieval folk rock, bardcore ballads, and D&D-inspired fantasy music — new tavern songs and RPG soundtracks every week. #MedievalMusic #Bardcore #DnDMusic #FantasyFolk #TavernSong #FolkRock #RPGMusic #BardSong #FantasyBallad #MedievalFolk
