Ballad of Strahd

Song heard in Barovian tavern [Verse 1] In Barovia's veiled and shadowed land, Where mist and fear go hand in hand, There rules a lord, dark and severe, Whose very name we dare not sneer. [Chorus] All hail Strahd, the night's undying king, Under his gaze, our hearts tremble and sing. In his castle high, where silence falls deep, Barovia weeps, as her lord never sleeps. [Verse 2] From lands of grief, his dominion grew, None have bested him, this we rue. Eternal master, with eyes like coals, Claiming our lands, and ensnaring our souls. [Bridge] Yet in his might, a terror hides, A longing heart that within him bides. For love he lost to time's cruel jest, In Tatyana's grace, his soul finds no rest. [Chorus] All hail Strahd, the night's undying king, Under his gaze, our hearts tremble and sing. In his castle high, where silence falls deep, Barovia weeps, as her lord never sleeps. [Verse 3]
