lament of Assenia

Lyrics

The River Grows SilentRiver Swift runs dark tonight,
where once our banners caught the sun.
Now only ashes ride the water,
and our great king lies undone.
The sky refuses light,
and all of Asenia stands in shadow.Chorus — A Great Nation Brought LowO Asenia, hear our cry—
your crown has fallen, your glory gone.
A mighty nation brought so low,
we sing your sorrow on and on.
River Swift, carry our grief
to every corner of Enthel.Verse 2 — The Day the Crown Was LostHe stood against the storm of war,
a pillar strong, a steady flame.
But when he fell, the world grew dim,
and even the river whispered his name.
His crown slipped into the current,
and hope went with it.Bridge — The Cry of the RemnantWhere are the riders of the plains?
Where are the shields that held the line?
Where is the king whose presence
made the river hush its roar?
Gone… all gone…
and memory is all we bear.Final Chorus — Mourning for AseniaO Asenia, beloved land,
we raise our voices in lament.
A great nation has fallen,
and the world will not see its like again.
River Swift, bear our sorrow—
for we will remember.
