The Oathbreaker's Path II: Enchanted Shadows

In the shadows where light can't creep
Melodies twisted, nightmares seep
A voice so dark, yet sweet as sin
The paladin's struggle, where to begin?

Through the city streets, he marches bold
A knight of light, with heart of gold
The echoes whisper, darkness calls
A tale of shadows within the walls

He hears her song, a siren's lure
Notes of madness, dark and pure
Visions dance before his eyes
Of a future lost, a world of lies

His sword aloft, he charges in
But her voice strikes deep, beneath his skin
A haunting tune, a cursed embrace
Shadows twist in a darkened place

Memories of a time long past
And fears of futures bleak and vast
His mind begins to warp and bend
Can he endure, can he defend?

In the shadows where light can't creep
Melodies twisted, nightmares seep
A voice so dark, yet sweet as sin
The paladin's struggle, where to begin?

He hears the sirens song, he marches bold
A knight of light, with heart of gold
The echoes whisper, darkness calls
A tale of shadows within the walls

He hears upon his god, so true
A light to pierce the darkness through
A shield of faith, a holy flare
Yet still the shadows linger there

Her song, a whisper, in his soul
The seeds of madness start to grow
A battle fought within his mind
In darkness deep, what will he find?

In the shadows where light can't creep
Melodies twisted, nightmares seep
A voice so dark, yet sweet as sin
The paladin's struggle, where to begin?

Through visions dark and whispers cold
His faith, a beacon, pure and bold
Yet in the silence, shadows play
The seeds of madness find their way

"Oh, sacred light, oh, guiding flame
Protect my soul, preserve my name
In this city of despair
Hold me close, guard me there."

But as he leaves, the shadows cling
A haunting melody starts to sing
For though he's free, the seed remains
In shadowed corners, where darkness reigns
