Conspiracy at the Crossroads

[Verse] In the dimming light at Crossroads' edge, Alan of Dale bets his life on a pledge. An apple aloft on a stoic dwarf's head, His arrow true, or his folly dread. [Melodic Melody Change] [Chorus] Whispers twine through the darkening roads, Where secrets lie heavy with old debts owed. Hearts bound by fate, through shadows they tread, Beneath starlit heavens, their paths are led. [Verse] Night cloaks the camp in a sorcerous veil, A spell to slumber, silent and pale. Gorin's shield taken, a note mocks their plight, veiled intent vanishes into the night. [Chorus] Whispers twine through the darkening roads, Where secrets lie heavy with old debts owed. Hearts bound by fate, through shadows they tread, Beneath starlit heavens, their paths are led. [Bridge] Within the Wandering Wagon's walls, Lies and bookings in the guestbook's scrawls. Thaddeus's tales, a facade at best, Rooms lie empty at an unspoken behest. [Instrumental x2] [Chorus] Whispers twine through the darkening roads, Where secrets lie heavy with old debts owed. Hearts bound by fate, through shadows they tread, Beneath starlit heavens, their paths are led. [Verse] Flames lick the thatch in the break of dawn, As the minstrel’s wrath draws the town’s scorn. Closed stalls and cold shoulders at the market stands, A town turns its back, washing its hands. [Chorus] Whispers twine through the darkening roads (roads yeah), Where secrets lie heavy with old debts owed (debts are owed). Hearts bound by fate, through shadows they tread, Beneath starlit heavens, their paths are led (paths are lead yeah, yeah yeah). [Outro] From Rennik's hand, a dubious task (a folly dread), In shadows and crates, the truth they unmask (Flames lick the thatch). To Barnaby-under-Bramble, their burdens known, On haunted roads, by moonlight shown. [Chorus, Fade out] Whispers twine through the darkening roads (roads yeah, yeah, yeah, paths are led),
