5 - Umbral Delusion

I was on the Long Road, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
I finally stopped my cart with some hesitance
And looked upon this residence 

It was an inn--It was the Doomgate Inn
The Doomgate Inn! And from the depths within
The Doomgate Inn there was a joyful din
The Doomgate Inn! Yes, in the Doomgate Inn

(Hawoooo)

Past the topiaries of horrific beasts
And a fence that hinges were in much need of grease
I met the first of this oddball gang
A friendly werewolf with a rustic twang

There at the inn! There at the Doomgate Inn
The Doomgate Inn, and with a toothy grin
There at the inn, he beckoned me within
The Doomgate Inn! Into the Doomgate Inn

The cobwebs of delicate form were all things that one could adorn  
And a matriarchal spider ensured I was cozy and warm

The lounge was bustlin’, all the spooks were around
From a ripped Thri-kreen to a smoking hound
And then suddenly I was snoot to snoot
With a lovely owlbear with a sultry hoot

There at the Inn! There at the Doomgate Inn
The Doomgate Inn, I knew not where to begin
There at the Inn! I felt my heart flutterin’
There at the Inn! Inside the Doomgate Inn

But then in the corner, I heard the clack of dice
And I thought to myself, one round might be nice
So I sat down at the table and joined in the fun
And then lost all my gold to a French Skeleton

There at the Inn, There at the Doomgate Inn
The Doomgate Inn, He said “le jeu se termine”
There at the Inn--which I think means “I win”
There at the Inn--at the Doomgate Inn

I went to the bar, feeling like such a rube
And I took a seat next to a gelatinous cube
As I flagged down the barkeep to get fresh mug 
He said “Hey Buddy… Can I give you a hug?” 

There at the Inn! There at the Doomgate Inn
The Doomgate Inn! Oh what a day it had been
There at the Inn, I’m glad I gave it a spin
The Doomgate Inn! At the Doomgate Inn

The Doomgate Inn

12 Days of K'thrissmas

Hello Friends, please enjoy this song about our Good Warlock K'thriss Drowb
Also consider watching this amazing animation of this song by Robin Childs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=_o74N2GTVP4&feature=emb_logo

Lyrics:

Low light, staring at the embers.
You spared a thought for what you can't remember.

Four strokes coalesce, what you can see you comprehend
But what you know can fall apart, a mind destroyed so easily.
A carved stone, a darkened gate, the pieces waiting to be placed,
To reclaim what you have lost, you can endure insanity.

It consumes you; it spreads through like a cancer,
One step closer to knowing all the answers.
In the scope of the world there are laws that cannot change.
Things aren't so different. You're not so different.

Stars fade out in the night, symbols trapped in amethyst,
To serve the Intercessor God is both the cure and malady.
You conclude they coincide; in the Cathedral you have knelt.
It takes your eyes so you can see the syntax of causality. 

It consumes you; it spreads through like a cancer,
One step closer to knowing all the answers.
In the scope of the world there are laws that cannot change.
Things aren't so different. You're not so different.

Sacrifices it will take to sate its endless appetite.
Sacrifices you will make to gain a moment of insight.
Sacrifices it demands so it infects you from inside,
But you already understand what must be done before you've died

But it consumes you; it spreads through like a cancer,
One step closer to knowing all the answers.
In the scope of the world there are laws that cannot change.
Things aren't so different. You're not that different.

Then you notice a whispered prayer above you,
Someone holding the shattered pieces of you.
And in spite of it all, isn't it odd how people change?
Are things so different? Are you so different?

This is a tribute to the glittering dragon god-king Vars-Melis, protector and prophet of Jinaar, long may he reign. We sing this song on solemn nights, after much holy wine, while we await the ring of The Fork.

The seasons turn, the silence falls, our eyes look toward the sky
He calls, we answer

We hold these gates from foe and fire, from bow and spear and steel
These walls, protect him

Restless we stand vigilant, our eyes are clear and keen
These halls, his armor

We feel the air reverberate, we hear the fateful tone
He calls, we answer

Through twisting tunnels, secret ways, to seek our destiny
We crawl, we stumble

He speaks in visions, weal and woe, his futures made to cure, 
And forestall disaster

The seasons turn, the silence falls, our eyes look toward the sky
He calls, we answer

We Answer

A song for a Brahm and her Nut:

You can’t say you believe in love at first sight
But you remember over fumes of blood that night
Was the scent of a sun-kissed field in June
Inside your rib cage your heart beats like you were prey
You have to secret those tempting words away
Promising that you’ll be entwined with her soon.

But when you meet again, she’s cold, or is that just the game?
To see whose hand gets burnt first playing with this flame
You feel a wall coming down. You thought she felt the same.

And you don’t know what to do
‘Cause she made a choice and it wasn’t you
So you’ll have to be strong
Moments will fade and seasons move on.

Well, this reminds you why feelings are best left inside
You don’t get anything for tears you’ve cried
Soon enough, you’re back on the road again
You get to work and you force yourself to be brave
You have your friends and important lives to save
Even so, you still think of her now and then.

And when you realize she’s back, you don’t know how to feel
How to discern what’s the act and which words are real
But if she left with you now, perhaps those wounds could heal.

And you don’t know what to do
‘Cause she made a choice and it wasn’t you
So you’ll have to be strong
Moments will fade and seasons move on.

But when you find her again, it’s like her soul’s withdrawn
You can’t tell what she wants or what side she’s on
You don’t know what you saw but now, you hear she’s gone.

And now you feel unsure
Cause you made a choice and it wasn’t her
So you’ll have to be strong
Moment will fade and seasons move on
You’ll have to move on
They come back and move on
Come Back
Come Back
Oh will she come back?

Come Back

A song about a Cleric and a Paladin:

You’re a man who understands that every action has a consequence
And life’s a series of favors you try to outrun.
But sometimes you find yourself willing to compromise.
Sometimes you feel a bit guilty for things that you’ve done.

These broken pieces fit back together somehow.
These broken pieces fit back together somehow.
And now the debt has been repaid,
Collateral has been obtained

But the moment she opens her eyes,
Your heart aches, palm sweat, lips go dry
And you’ll lie to anybody, but mostly yourself.

Well, she’s a lady who doesn’t understand how she captivates,
And the warmth that she radiates is like morning light.
If you’re two steps ahead, she’ll take you into her confidence,
So you’d best get your story straight next time that you write.

These broken pieces fit back together somehow.
These broken pieces fit back together somehow.
She’s gotten past your main defense
Of guile and magniloquence

And it seems no matter what you try,
Your heart aches, palm sweat, lips go dry
And you’ll lie to anybody, but mostly yourself.

These broken pieces fit back together somehow.
Your broken pieces fit back together somehow.
She turns her face back towards the dawn,
Lifts of the ground, and then she’s gone

And you watch her as she soars so high
Your heart aches, palm sweat, lips go dry
And you’ll lie to anybody
You’ll lie to anybody
Yes, you’ll lie to anybody
But mostly yourself.

Broken Pieces

A Song about two Elf Siblings:

You close your eyes and think of distant memories.
Is this what it’s like? It feels so familiar.
And they bow their head, their practice smile fading softly
Into the state of just being together.

A fragment rests within you.
An echo so loud they still call you by her name
As if you were the same.
A fragment rests within them.
It’s like a magnet, opposite in all respects
But somehow trying to connect.

Oh, there are promises you kept
And there are tears that you have wept.
It was a price you could accept
Since they could still go with you. 

You close your eyes and think of distant memories.
Is this what it’s like? It feels so familiar.
And they bow their head, their practice smile fading softly
Into the state of just being together.

They have a pious nature,
Always devoted to intangible ideals,
A truth to be revealed.
They came close to perfection
And to obtain it, they had let their fragment go.
Well, perhaps they didn’t know.

How easily it breaks your heart
When everything has to restart.
You felt the fragments fall apart,
But they will still go with you.

You close your eyes and think of distant memories
And all that you want is something that’s familiar.
And they bow their head in reverence and in understanding.
They, more than most, have yearned to be together.

You dry your eyes, they’re all just distant memories.
Is this what it’s like to lose something familiar?
And they turn to go, their practiced smile fading softly.
Until it’s time, at least you’ll be together.

Together

An entirely factual account of Jinaar's greatest hero:

Oh Glittering Prince, you must head out alone.
You can't find what is missing here in your home.
You must look for the light of your lord.
Though you grieve you must take up his sword.
Oh Glittering Prince, you must leave all you've known.

And so the search began to find a missing god,
Thrust out into a world where everything is wrong.
Well you're not scared though you don't understand a lot.
Those things don't matter when you're big and brave and strong.

Keep on moving forward, don't look back, don't look back.
Keep on reaching further, don't look back, don't look back.
Leave the wall behind you, don't look back, don't look back.
There's a place to prove yourself beyond the doubts that they all had.

Oh Glittering Prince, you must head out alone.
You can't find what is missing here in your home.
You've been chosen to serve and protect.
Use this hardship to learn and reflect.
Oh Glittering Prince, you must leave all you've known.

You make decisions and you know you make them well.
You're tough but fair every time you make a call.
You get manipulated every now and then.
So has your situation really changed at all?

Keep on moving forward, don't look back, don't look back.
Keep on reaching further, don't look back, don't look back.
Leave the wall behind you, don't look back, don't look back.
There's a place to prove yourself beyond the doubts that they all had.

Oh Glittering Prince, you must head out alone.
You can't find what is missing here in your home.
Though your travels will take you afar
You must never forget who you are.
Oh Glittering Prince, you must leave all you've known.

It's hard to fit in when you rise above the rest,
Or to be humble when you're from a line of kings.
But overall you don't mind how things have played out.
You finally found a place where you can spread your wings.

Keep on flying higher, don't look down, don't look down.
Hold your head up high and don't look down, don't look down.
See the sky above you, don't look down, don't look down.
There's a place inside your heart where you can find the light you have.

Oh Glittering Prince, you must head out alone.
You can't find what is missing here in your home.
Maybe one day you'll come home again
But you can keep on flying 'til then.
Oh Glittering Prince, will they see how you've grown?
Oh Glittering Prince, you can stand on your own.

The Amazing True Story of the Best and Most Handsomest Dragonborn Prince Donaar Blit'zen

For when you fill out Document FR67M:

Pace yourself, this is now the new beginning
Brace yourself, though you feel your world is spinning
Take your time and start again
Here and now’s the only thing that matters

Be assured all your efforts are accruing
You’ve endured all the chaos that’s ensuing
Take your time and start again
Here and now’s the only thing that matters

The plans that all fell through
The stinging your eyes 
The letters that you burned, the ones that you revise
The walls still smell of ash
The ink faded to gray
And all that you aquire can be taken away

Well you might try to calculate tomorrow
But it will find the flaws in your design
Yet you pick up the pen and draft it all again
Hoping that some pieces will align and you play the game
Certainty is just a pretty name.

And you sit with missing posters you collected
You admit you waited longer than expected
So it’s time to start again
Here and now’s the only thing that matters

Start Again

A trip through the Kryptgarden Forest:

I have wandered in the Spring through this forest;
New life awakened in the trees.
As I sat beneath the boughs of a willow,
Voices were carried on the breeze.

I looked deeper still into the woods;
There was no one I could see.
But I listened to their lonely cries
Like a melody

Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
And the words kept echoing through the atmosphere.
They kept on calling out, but did the other hear?

I have visited this forest in Winter
When every branch was laid with snow.
As I stumbled through the ice-covered pathways,
I heard the voices soft and low.

And I tried to hurry on my way,
For these words were not for me.
Still the chant resounded through the air
Like a melody

Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
And the words kept echoing through the atmosphere.
They kept on calling out, but did the other hear?

I have traveled through this forest in Autumn
And every leaf was red and gold.
All I heard then was the sound of my footsteps,
Trees cracking as the wind grew cold.

Were the voices just inside my mind
As a fleeting fantasy?
But the litany came to my lips
With a melody

Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
And for a moment then, not a creature stirred,
I wondered to myself if the voices heard?

Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
Find me, oh find me!
Oh, Heart of My Heart, Oh, Heart of My Heart!
And the words kept echoing through the atmosphere.
They kept on calling out, but did the other hear?
