They drink to Conan every winter <br />With smoke and laughter stain the beam <br />The bards grow taller with each telling <br />I keep my silence with my dream <br /><br />They praise the sword, they praise the liar <br />They praise the scars that conquered men <br />Yet none have asked the old magician <br />What truly happened, where and when <br /><br />Steel may open gates of stone <br />Yet darker roads are walked alone <br />Ask of Conan, his fame is true <br />But I still hear the tower too <br /><br />Before the crown, before the battles <br />Before the thrones of Aquilonia <br />We climbed where pale stars fear to linger <br />The dreadful tower of the elephant <br /><br />Its walls were white as moonlit ivory <br />Its gates remembered elder years <br />No wind disturbed that haunted summit <br />Only forgotten gods drew near <br /><br />Steel may open gates of stone <br />Yet darker roads are walked alone <br />Ask of Conan, his fame is true <br />But I still hear the tower too <br /><br />Yara gathered all his darkness <br />Certain none could shake his throne <br />Every crown conceals its reckoning <br />Every soul must pay its own <br /><br />The tower shuddered, night was sundered <br />Ivory became ash and flame <br />Some won a jewel, some won a kingdom <br />None returned the very same <br /><br />Steel may open gates of stone <br />Yet darker roads are walked alone <br />Ask of Conan, his fame is true <br />But I remember what no bard knew <br /><br />Now I watch the children listening <br />As minstrels sing the Cimmerian's name <br />I lift my cup and never answer <br />The wisest seldom seek for fame <br /><br />If someday you should climb that mountain <br />Where only ghosts remember dawn <br />Listen well <br />The stones still whisper <br />Conan came <br />But not alone <br /><br />____________________ <br /><br />✓✓ composição de 👇🏻 <br />Astrikos Katoikos <br />Copyright ©️ 2022 <br />Todos os Direitos Reservados ® <br /><br />#astrikoskatoikos #conanthebarbarian #conan
