Sëntinär - Smiles in the Dark

Описание: [Verse 1]
There was a time when the banners flew
When the names still meant what they said
Gold was more than something stolen
And oaths were harder to bend

Now the halls are quiet
Stone remembers what we forgot
I hear echoes in the silence
Of a promise time could not rot

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t ask to return there
I just listen when it calls

[Chorus]
I hear whispers of Avalon
In the wind, in the rain
Like a song half remembered
Calling out my name

I don’t chase the throne it left behind
I just stand where it once shone
I hear whispers of Avalon
And I know I’m not alone

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen steel turned into ashes
I’ve seen faith reduced to dust
Every crown leaves a shadow
Every blade learns how to rust

But some truths don’t disappear
They just learn how to hide
In the spaces between history
And the men who survived

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t claim the old glory
I just carry the sound

[Chorus]
I hear whispers of Avalon
In the night, in the flame
Like a vow that was broken
But still knows my name

I don’t swear I’ll rebuild the past
Or right what’s overthrown
I hear whispers of Avalon
And I walk on

[Bridge (guitar-led, melodic)]
If the age is gone
Let the echo remain
Some legends don’t rise again
They stay

[(harmonized lead guitar breathes here)]

[Final Chorus]
I hear whispers of Avalon
Soft but strong
Not a call to reclaim it
Just to carry it on

When the world forgets what was sacred
And the old songs are done
I hear whispers of Avalon
And I’m not the only one
