Bard

In Celtic cultures, a bard is a professional story teller, verse-maker, music composer, oral historian and genealogist, employed by a patron (such as a monarch or noble) to commemorate one or more of the patron's ancestors and to praise the patron's own activities. With the decline of a living bardic tradition in the modern period, the term has loosened to mean a generic minstrel or author (especially a famous one). For example, William Shakespeare and Rabindranath Tagore are respectively known as "the Bard of Avon" (often simply "the Bard") and "the Bard of Bengal". In 16th-century Scotland, it turned into a derogatory term for an itinerant musician; nonetheless it was later romanticised by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). more »

Taught me at the age of nine that air was overrated
Showed me how to cross a line but never waited
To witness the monster that you had created
And I inflated
Didn't think that you would find me here, "The darkness of your past"
How long did you think your little hero game would last
Oh, but I see right through, and I'll show them the truth
You'll remember my fall, you'll surrender it all
Because I still see the flames from when you burned my life to the ground
I still feel the pain from all I lost but somehow you found
Go on and say that I'm insane now that you've turned your whole life around
But oh don't tell me I can change while simultaneously watching me drown
Closer, come closer, I want you to know
Oh just how much I admire you so
Higher and higher you climb towards your goal
But the higher you climb, the bigger your umbra grows
Faster, run faster, I won't let you go
Not 'til the day that we're both dust and bones
Bury my body, I won't leave you alone
I'll come back a god, swallow you whole
Hephaestus himself can't chain me
No redemption arc will save me
You say that "it's not too late to change things"
May I remind you who started the war
I only came here to even the score
Because I still see the flames from when you burned my life to the ground
I still feel the pain from all I lost but somehow you found
Go on and say that I'm insane now that you've turned your whole life around
But don't tell me I can change, don't tell me I can change
I know you know what it feels like
To be suffocated by your spite
Everything you love leaving your sight
Nothing to guide you
But now you're good in your own right
You've replaced your fire with a light
But if you're the day I'll be the night
Only hours behind you
I'll be here to remind you
