No More Will I Dance

Immerse yourself in the haunting tale of a Gloura, a mystical fey creature from the Underdark in Dungeons & Dragons lore, known as the Unicorns of the Dark for their elusive nature. "No More Will I Dance" is a melancholic folk ballad that tells the story of a Gloura who has suffered a great loss. This original song, inspired by the lore from Underdark (2003) by Jeff Quick and "Dragon's Bestiary: Monsters of the Underdark" (Dragon Magazine #227), is a somber melody featuring a female vocalist, harp, and light drums for the chorus.

The video brings this sorrowful narrative to life with the image of a Gloura kneeling on an underground sandy beach, her despair illuminated by floating lights. Let the music transport you to the depths of the Underdark, where beauty and tragedy intertwine.

🎶Lyrics🎶

(Verse 1)
Once I danced ‘long the ebon shore
As gemstones crowned the under sky
In peace an’ joy
I asked no more
Always content
Ne'er to die

(Verse A)
E'ery stone rested yet rapt
Silken sands ne'er chapped
The waters caress
The scent o' the breeze
A song to bless
An' drone did please

(Chorus)
The harp lies broken
Wings fore'er torn
No words spoken
Left only forlorn
For what once was will ne'er again be
No more will I dance ‘long the dark sea

(Verse 2)
So came the hour o’ needful rest
My head lain down to ease duress
Upon they came
A humble nest
Friends o' stone
Gave no defense

(Verse B)
How was I found?
Still am I confound
No answer to cry
No answer to why
Hands taken to bound
My heart left unsound

(Chorus)
The harp lies broken
Wings fore'er torn
No words spoken
Left only forlorn
For what once was will ne'er again be
No more will I dance ‘long the dark sea

(Verse 3)
Dragged from the dark and into the light
Treated as cattle
Treasure to sleight
Captors hailed as brave an’ bold
My wings exchanged
For two bags o’ gold

(Verse C)
The tale now comes to an end
Gray maidens came to upend
Swords did sing
Death knells ring
Answered my silent plea
As they set me free

(Chorus)
The harp lies broken
Wings fore'er torn
No words spoken
Left only forlorn
For what once was will ne'er again be
No more will I dance ‘long the dark sea

(Outro)
The hours now pass
Steady an’ slow
My fingers only dance
on strings I sow
I now only wait
for a change to be
For no more will I dance
‘long the dark sea
