As sung (poorly) by Tallow Merriweather, Bard of Hammerfist

Verse I
Oh gather ‘round, you mountain folk, and fill your cups with cheer,
For I shall sing the truest tale that ever graced your ear.
Of gods and seals and heroes bold who faced the burning night—
And how I led the charge that day to guard the DawnLight bright!

Chorus
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright—
We saved the world with the DawnLight’s light!

Verse II
There came a fist of molten stone that shook the very ground,
A beast below the world itself, with chains that came unbound.
Its eye was red as forge‑fire, its roar a storm of dread—
But I stood firm (you know I did!) while others turned and fled!

Chorus
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright—
We saved the world with the DawnLight’s light!

Verse III
A necromancer vile appeared, all bones and wicked grin,
He tried to break the ancient Seal and let the darkness in.
But I—yes I!—distracted him with cunning, charm, and grace,
(Though some may claim a dwarf or two punched Malach in the face.)

Chorus
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright—
We saved the world with the DawnLight’s light!

Verse IV
Then came the priestess shining bright, her heart a burning flame,
She cried unto the heavens with her mother’s ancient name.
The Seal was cracked, the world was doomed, the end was drawing near—
But I sang strong to guide her hand (you’re welcome, all my dears).

Chorus
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright—
We saved the world with the DawnLight’s light!

Verse V
The DawnLight burst, the Seal slammed shut, the darkness fell away,
And all because of bravery (mostly mine, I’d say).
So drink to heroes great and small, to legends born anew—
And if you doubt a single word… well, that’s because it’s true!

Final Chorus
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright—
We saved the world with the DawnLight’s light!
