The Starry Night

(Verse 1) In Highpass' tavern, shadows fall, a tale of Hazel, known to all, A tinker, yes, with mind so keen, for alchemy his workshop keen. He'd brew and craft with potions bright, and laugh at darkness, hold it light. But curiosity, a fire's spark, it led him down a path too dark. (Chorus) He read of stars that never shone, of whispers from beyond the known, The Outer Dark, a chilling void, where sanity forever died. He sought that knowledge, grim and vast, a treasure that could never last, For once you glimpse the starry night, where madness reigns with cold, black light. (Verse 2) His eyes grew distant, laughter waned, with cryptic words his thoughts explained. Of things that writhe and things that crawl, and hungering shadows he would call. His friend, good Claude, with heart so true, he begged him to forget anew. But Hazel's mind, it spun astray, lost in the whispers of that day. His eyes grew distant, laughter waned, with cryptic words his thoughts explained. Of things that writhe and things that crawl, and hungering shadows he would call. His friend, good Claude, with heart so true, he begged him to forget anew. But Hazel's mind, it spun astray, lost in the whispers of that day. [Chorus] He read of stars that never shone, of whispers from beyond the known, The Outer Dark, a chilling void, where sanity forever died. He sought that knowledge, grim and vast, a treasure that could never last, For once you glimpse the starry night, where madness reigns with cold, black light. [End]
