The Day Sertan Met the Bard

[Verse] In the tavern's flicker Sertan sat alone The shadows danced Where light was barely shown Asuria walked in Like a ghost in flight Her eyes caught a spark in the dusky night [Verse 2] A bard took notice With a silver tongue Spinning tales of love Where songs are sung He strummed his lute and sang so sweet But his flattery fell short Cold at her feet [Chorus] Oh The night when Sertan's wrath met the bard's plight A fist flew fast In the silence of the night Songs can't mend Where bruises bloom bright When a father's love defends with all its might [Verse 3] Asuria turned away Unimpressed The bard's charm cracked He felt distressed He reached for her hand In romance's game Not knowing her father would stake his claim [Bridge] Sertan's fist clenched tight His eyes a storm He stood tall and stern In a fury born With a single punch The bard's tune died On the tavern floor Laid ego's pride [Verse 4] The whispers spread 'bout the bard's demise How he met his fate 'neath Sertan's eyes The tale now sung in every tavern near Of a father's blow So fierce and clear
