Roots and Wings — Lyra Vesperi

"Roots and Wings" is a deceptive masterpiece of high-energy Celtic Folk. On the surface, it delivers a driving, foot-stomping rhythm perfect for any festival or lively pub scene. But beneath the racing strings and infectious beat lies a crushing narrative about the hollowness of success. It explores the heavy price of ambition and the isolation that comes when you finally get everything you thought you wanted, only to realize you have no one to share it with.

🍺 The Bard's Notes:
● Atmosphere & Roots: Celtic Folk, Medieval Tavern, Upbeat Jig, Tragic Storytelling.
● The Sounds: Fast Fiddle/Violin solos, Stomp beat, Acoustic Guitars, Melancholic Vocals.
● Perfect Settings: A lively tavern scene, a rogue's backstory, dancing with tears in your eyes, or high-energy gaming sessions.

🎵 Lyrics:

I packed the bag and shut the door
I said I wanted nothing more
I told myself a little lie
To cut the anchor and to fly
I traded warmth for open air
And left you sleeping in the chair

The silver heavy in the purse
But emptiness is getting worse
I saw the mountain and the sea
And everything I asked to be
The legend grew in every town
I never put the weapon down

I fill the cup to stop the think
I am not lonely, I just drink

I hold the world within my hand
But I am stranger in the land
The freedom is a bitter dream
And when it broke, I didn't scream
I didn't scream, I didn't cry
I only watched the love go by
So raise the cup and drink the round
Until the heavy heart is drowned

You offered me a wooden ring
I wanted every shiny thing
You wanted roots, I wanted wings
I wanted songs that glory sings
But now the fire’s burning low
And I have nowhere left to go

The open road is just a space
To hide the tears upon my face
I tell the stars a little lie
And watch the lonely years go by
They say that I am brave and free
They do not know the cost of me

I fill the cup to stop the think
I am not lonely, I just drink

I hold the world within my hand
But I am stranger in the land
The freedom is a bitter dream
And when it broke, I didn't scream
I didn't scream, I didn't cry
I only watched the love go by
So raise the cup and drink the round
Until the heavy heart is drowned

So play the fiddle fast and loud
I’ll hide my shadow in the crowd
I’ll laugh until the morning comes
And dance unto the beating drums
The story ends, the hero won
But I am freezing in the sun

The coin is cold
The story's told
I miss your face
In every place
In every place...

I fill the cup to stop the think
I am not lonely, I just drink

I hold the world within my hand
But I am stranger in the land
The freedom is a bitter dream
And when it broke, I didn't scream
I didn't scream, I didn't cry
I only watched the love go by
So raise the cup and drink the round
Until the heavy heart is drowned
