Ser Emric of the Vale

Verse 1: In Illica's embrace, 'neath whispering trees, Sir Emric stood tall, hearts and souls to appease. With lance named Verdant Thorn, armor agleam, He vowed 'neath the Green Lady's watchful esteem. Chorus: Peace in the forest, whispers in trees, Here's to Sir Emric, who set our hearts at ease. For leaf, for vine, for ground 'neath skies so light, A toast to the knight who ended the blight's night. Verse 2: A sorceress dark, with blight in her grasp, Turned life into dust, each breath a gasp. Yet Emric rode forth, through danger untold, For the love of the land, brave, fierce, and bold. Verse 2: For the love of the land, brave, fierce, and bold. Chorus: Peace in the forest, whispers in trees, Here's to Sir Emric, who set our hearts at ease. For leaf, for vine, for ground 'neath skies so light, A toast to the knight who ended the blight's night. Verse 3: 'Gainst twisted spire, under curse's shadow, He fought with a heart, pure, never hollow. With final blow struck, his fate was sealed, In sacrifice great, the land was healed. Bridge: Where stone and ivy rise, there stands a silent guard, A memory of valor, in green land's heart marred. For in his fall, a legacy was born, A tale of love, of duty sworn. Bridge: A tale of love, of duty sworn. Verse 4: By fire's glow, in taverns, his tale's sung, Of Emric, the brave, whose praises are rung. In ale and cheer, his spirit we embrace, A tale of valor, of time and space. Chorus: Peace in the forest, whispers in trees, Here's to Sir Emric, who set our hearts at ease. For leaf, for vine, for ground 'neath skies so light, A toast to the knight who ended the blight's night.
