The stronghold
by @gordon
Skirmish: Cascade/Blanket (@atornberg)
Liner Notes
A very different take on the same prompt...
Lyrics
Comforting and warm Keeping out the cold Hiding from the snowstorm Safe within the stronghold
They will not come tonight The weather is against them Some peasants will be butchered Those who don’t take flight
Comforting and warm Protection from the arrows These walls have seen it all Danger in the shadows
When the cascade comes Nothing will be safe But tonight we stoke the fire And sing our songs again

Aww, heck yeah! This song RAWKS! And your lyrics really paint a vivid image! I can "see" the castle and the arrows and the peasants! This was a lot of fun to listen to!!

Very different from the other one, but still entirely enjoyable. Thanks!
