Driftwood's Step — Lyra Vance Anthem
Pirate Punk
(Verse 1) They dragged her down to the Rift Mine dark, Where the shadows bite and the demons bark. They took her leg and they took her name, But they couldn't take the fire from the dame! She carved a foot from a broken hull, And smashed the teeth of a floating skull! (Chorus) Click-clack! Do you hear the sound? The Driftwood Captain is homeward bound! She’s stealing the galleys and burning the writs, She’s giving the Empire fits and fits! With a timber toe and a blade so keen, She’s the freest soul that the dawn has seen! (Verse 3) So hide your chains and sharpen your hook, We’re sailing away from the Vexar book. The Dawn is coming, the Dawn is free, And the Driftwood Captain has the key! (Lore Hook: Establishes Lyra’s backstory in the Abyssal Rift Mines and her role as the liberator of the slave galleys.)
