Tantras Stands · A Forgotten Realms Bard Song · Nova-Core Creations

Tantras Stands is a cinematic bard song set during the Time of Troubles in the Forgotten Realms. Sung from the perspective of a paladin of Torm, the song tells of Duncan, a cleric who stood before Ao in Waterdeep when the gods were cast down — and chose mercy over power. When granted a single wish, Duncan asked not for glory, time, or dominion, but for the city of Tantras to be restored — accepting all other costs. This song is written as a legend remembered: restrained, lawful, and resolute. 🎵 Tempo: 108 BPM 🛡️ Style: Cinematic bard / high fantasy anthem 🔔 Theme: Mercy, law, consequence, and sacrifice Lyrics: Spoken Intro (spoken, firm) I was there when law stood bare. I watched a cleric choose the world. His name was Duncan. Verse 1 The streets of Waterdeep went still Ash and candle flame The sky broke wide, no thunder cried And law spoke without name No sword was drawn, no prayer was said No mercy begged of awe A mortal rose where gods once ruled And faced the weight of Ao Pre-Chorus I’ve held the line, I’ve paid the cost I know what power brings But never saw a man refuse The gift that breaks all kings Chorus Duncan stood before the light When all the world held breath The scales were set, the moment weighed Between the life and death He spoke, “Undo the breaking of Tantras alone, And let all other costs remain.” Verse 2 I did not kneel, I did not bow I met the endless gaze I watched him look past heaven’s throne And choose the world we save I’ve sworn my oaths in blood and steel I know what vows can cost But never saw such quiet strength As choosing what was lost Pre-Chorus 2 No wish revives the honored dead No word remakes the past But cities fall when mercy fails And scars like that can last Chorus (Repeat) Duncan stood before the light When all the world held breath He chose the world, he chose the wound He chose the living left No crown, no time, no endless reign No glory, no command He spoke one truth the gods could not: Tantras stands. Tantras stands. Bridge (energy lift) Let gods bear witness, then withdraw Let mortals choose and stand The bravest wish I ever heard Was made by mortal hands Let law remember why it serves Let mercy bind the flame He gave the world its heartbeat back And took no gift or name Final Chorus The light fell soft, the sky grew whole The dawn broke clean and new No praise was claimed, no crown was worn The wish rang clear and true He asked for nothing he could keep No throne, no endless span He gave the world its chance to live Tantras stands. Tantras stands. Tantras stands. Tantras stands. Outro (short, resolute) I sing this so the world remembers What strength was meant to be Not gods who took, not fire or law But mercy… witnessed by me Song: Tantras Stands CREDITS Songwriter: Nova-Core Creations Producer: David Ryon Art Direction: Nova Blair Solis Label: Nova-Core Creations © 2026 David Ryon.
