With relentless riffs, pounding drums, and epic vocals, the song captures the bitter moment when honor decays into darkness. Perfect for fans of D&D 5e, epic metal, and the signature BardStrike style, this track sets the stage for a journey where the light of valor succumbs to the call of damnation.

Lyrics:
Dusk calls
damnation awaits
Dusk calls
as honor abates
Dusk calls
in the twilight I fall
Dusk calls
heed destiny’s call

I was born beneath the sacred flame
With holy blood
I earned my name
But thrones of gold
Turned into dust
And now I bleed
For shattered trust

I stood alone where angels fell
Their wings were ash
Their voices knelled
A broken vow
A final breath
I kissed the light
And pledged to death

Oath of dusk
The heavens break
Oath of dusk
The world will quake
No dawn remains
No sacred blade
Oath of dusk
I am the shade

I watched the stars abandon sky
And whispered truths
That gods deny
The silence roared
With judgment cold
The oath I swore
Now bought and sold

The fire is gone

Oath of dusk
The heavens break
Oath of dusk
The world will quake
No dawn remains
No sacred blade
Oath of dusk
I am the shade

Steel in hand
I faced the end
Where light and dark
No longer bend
A cursed flame
Within my chest
A holy sin
I won't confess

The fire is gone
The fire is gone

Oath of dusk
The heavens break
Oath of dusk
The world will quake
No dawn remains
No sacred blade
Oath of dusk
I am the shade

Oath of dusk
No savior’s song
Oath of dusk
The right is wrong
Oath of dusk
I rise betrayed
Oath of dusk
I am the blade
