Whispers of the Wyrm
Whispers of the Wyrm
Whispers of the Wyrm invites listeners to a mystical journey beneath the canopy of an enchanted forest. Here lies a dragon, not as a creature of terror but as a sentinel of forgotten lore and serene protector of an unseen world. The ballad weaves the tale of this majestic being whose very existence harmonizes with the melodies of the night, singing the land to sleep with lullabies spun from the threads of the cosmos. Join us as we explore the serene yet powerful presence of a sleeping dragon, whose dreams are the stuff of legends, guarding the peace of a hidden realm with each whispered note, a guardian that brings calm and reassurance to all who hear its song.
