Peace Again

[Frawlic 266]

 

A taller woman skulked into the tavern, common place for her in her deep hues of purple. The evening had been long after the battle that had ensued at Drusco. She found herself battered, bruised, and missing her right eye. Event after event occurred that day and as the people of Haense gathered within its walls for warmth and merriment once more, she found herself falling into routine. A lute made its way to her grasp, a moment or two of tuning before she steadied herself. Would her playing be the same? Perhaps she ached too greatly to even attempt a performance for the patrons within. But, there was cause for celebration… how could she not? A decision was made, the gentle strums of a lute filling the room, quickly followed by her voice, an uncommon accent, though decipherable and understandable to anyone who spoke common. The song of peace and war echoed slightly beyond the tavern’s doors, welcoming those outside into the building’s warmth and her entertainment. Of course, it went a little something like so….

Verse 1

⏡

In the time of the war

When our soldiers go down

We gather their memories and go back to town

But our hardships and losses can get in the way

And our thoughts of our sieges and victories can sway

 

⏠

Chorus

⏡

I’ll never know of peace again

When I walk down these roads and venture the lands

So for now I’ll keep swingin’ this sword in my hands

I’ll never, no, never know of peace again

 

⏠

Verse 2

⏡

For the war it can change us

Deep down in our hearts

And we ought to remember where we did start

Violence and bloodshed can infect like a plague

But the old days remind of the smile on your face

 

⏠

Chorus

⏡

I’m dreamin’ of peace again

When I walk down these roads and venture the lands

But for now I’ll keep swingin’ this sword in my hands

I’m dreamin’, yes dreamin’ of peace again

 

⏠

Verse 3

⏡

Now that it’s over

I wish to lower my blade

Differences aside who's really to blame

We’ve our losses and victories, and we all carry shame

We can grow and forget, but we’ll never be the same

 

⏠

Chorus

⏡

I’m livin’ in peace again

When I walk down these roads and venture the lands

And I’m no longer swingin’ this sword in my hands

I’m livin’, yes, livin’ in peace again

I’m livin’, yes, livin’ in peace again

Even as the old woman went about her errands in Valdev, Rozsika couldn’t help but smile and hum along to the music seeping through the merry tavern’s walls. The future, all things considered, seemed bright.
