As sung (poorly) by Tallow Merriweather, Bard of Hammerfist<\/em><\/p>

Verse I<\/strong>
Oh gather \u2018round, 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\u2014
And how I<\/em> led the charge that day to guard the DawnLight bright!<\/p>

Chorus<\/strong>
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!<\/strong>
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!<\/strong>
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright\u2014<\/strong>
We saved the world with the DawnLight\u2019s light!<\/strong><\/p>

Verse II<\/strong>
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\u2011fire, its roar a storm of dread\u2014
But I stood firm (you know I did!) while others turned and fled!<\/p>

Chorus<\/strong>
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!<\/strong>
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!<\/strong>
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright\u2014<\/strong>
We saved the world with the DawnLight\u2019s light!<\/strong><\/p>

Verse III<\/strong>
A necromancer vile appeared, all bones and wicked grin,
He tried to break the ancient Seal and let the darkness in.
But I\u2014yes I!\u2014distracted him with cunning, charm, and grace,
(Though some may claim a dwarf or two punched Malach in the face.)<\/p>

Chorus<\/strong>
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!<\/strong>
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!<\/strong>
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright\u2014<\/strong>
We saved the world with the DawnLight\u2019s light!<\/strong><\/p>

Verse IV<\/strong>
Then came the priestess shining bright, her heart a burning flame,
She cried unto the heavens with her mother\u2019s ancient name.
The Seal was cracked, the world was doomed, the end was drawing near\u2014
But I sang strong to guide her hand (you\u2019re welcome, all my dears).<\/p>

Chorus<\/strong>
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!<\/strong>
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!<\/strong>
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright\u2014<\/strong>
We saved the world with the DawnLight\u2019s light!<\/strong><\/p>

Verse V<\/strong>
The DawnLight burst, the Seal slammed shut, the darkness fell away,
And all because of bravery (mostly mine, I\u2019d say).
So drink to heroes great and small, to legends born anew\u2014
And if you doubt a single word\u2026 well, that\u2019s because it\u2019s true!<\/p>

Final Chorus<\/strong>
Raise your mugs! Let the mountains ring!<\/strong>
For the DawnLight rose on a thundered wing!<\/strong>
Through fire and shadow, through fear and fright\u2014<\/strong>
We saved the world with the DawnLight\u2019s light!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
