The Diver's Grave (Exandrian Folk Song)

Подробнее о видео

The first in what I plan to be a series of in-world songs that would be sung by the people of Exandria. I'm working on a rather large project right now that will take a long time, but I want to keep posting things like this while I work on it, so my plan right now is to release a new CR song every month until the aforementioned project is finished.

This one is based on the Diver's Grave, and it includes a little shanty that Matt wrote and sang for the players as an NPC in Darktow.

Lyrics:

Her waters, red with blood
And sky, black with clouds
Heed my warning now
If for the Diver's Grave you're bound

The storm came like a ghost
A fierce and deathly squall
"The ship, she's down!" the captain cried
"To the Diver's Grave we go!"

We sank beneath the tides
With water in our lungs
Many a sailor died
But I, a breather of brine

Upon the ocean floor
I was met by a spectre
Met by the claws that wring
And I remembered the song they would sing:

Where once the waters rolled calmly by,
Where ocean’s heart did sing,
There stalked a lass with a hungry eye,
And claws that grasp and wring

With lantern lure of a glimmer pot,
With treasure in their eyes,
Below they swam to the gold they thought,
Would await them as their prize

Yet each of them went to surely die,
Their graves to not be found,
For Dashilla and her hungry eye,
Collects the lost and drowned

Now I lie with the dead
The sunken and the drowned
Phantoms, wrecks, and dread
Can in the Diver's Grave be found
