Going To Indy I made up my mind, gonna get one what I've got in me a plane. I'm gonna get my geek on, yeah I'm too much geek to tame. I'll be getting in on Wednesday, take a cab from the airport to the mall, Got my True Dungeon coins from last year, and my badge on Will Call. And I'm flying into Indy, with a bag full of dice, just to see what I've got in me, against all popular advice. I'm going to Gen Con, I'm going to Gen Con. And things won't ever be the same, 'till Gary Gygax knows my name. Got crammed into a hotel room, I'm gonna have to crash out on the floor. I gotta get some sleep before Iron GM. Yeah I'm iron to the core. I gamed for 30 straight hours. Back at the Steak-n-Shake, it must me 3 a.m. Crashed out during the ENnies, and drooled all over my vintage copy of Talisman. And I'm flying into Indy, with a bag full of dice, just to see what I've got in me, against all popular advice. I'm going to Gen Con, I'm going to Gen Con. And things won't ever be the same, 'till Gary Gygax knows my name. Bleary-eyed Monday morning, I catch the red-eye out of town. But I already booked my room for next year, and I'll be coming back around. And I'm flying into Indy, with a bag full of dice, just to see what I've got in me, against all popular advice. I'm going to Gen Con, I'm going to Gen Con. And things won't ever be the same, 'till Gary Gygax knows my name.

Battlefield Cry We're like a dragon, trapped in a china shop Raucous, raging and relentless Cause its hard to find your heart Warm, wonderful, and ecstatic Conquer your eyes with mine, when I'd rather be making peace Repressing love to the dungeon, with no release Don't let us die, another battlefield cry, the blade cuts deep, in the blink of an eye Fear has no face Locked deep inside the wounds shaking, sneering, and seething Plays its part, in your empty room Fooling feelings freely Making our time grow cold, when we should be making heat The corpse of love lies beneath your feet Don't let us die, another battlefield cry, the blade cuts deep, in the blink of an eye

Don't Touch My Dice Last month my GM, he brought by this stupid friend who forgot his dice and tried to borrow mine. He was a sloppy roller, he chipped up my 20-sider, now my favorite die don't roll higher than a 9. And I hope and I pray, if he ever comes back this way, he'll have the courtesy to bring his own dice. Last week, my GM, he brought back his stupid friend who forgot his dice and tried to borrow mine I try hard not to be a jerk, but my favorite 20-sider still doesn't work So I think its time this is where I draw the line. Don't touch my dice. You better think twice, before you touch my dice. Last night, my GM, he brought by his stupid friend. And suspiciously, his dice looked a lot like mine. I think that he took them, when I made that run to the rest room, and I'm seriously about to loose my mind. He better hope and he better pray, if he ever comes back this way, he doesn't care if his goddamned paladin dies. Last night my GM, he had a bloodbath on his hands when I went PVP upon his friend, It was a tomb of horrors, when I crit-ed with my greatsword Now I think that dude's dice stealings at an end. Don't touch my dice, You better think twice, before you touch my dice.

Ballad Of A Sickly Grin My jaw drops to the floor As I realize the news You killed me forever more Now I can only lose Invested ten long years To playing this game Now it's time To birth a new name Making war And juggling sin My fate stands in the shadow Of your sickly grin You roll the dice once more Then stabbed me in the heart Ambition is cut short My world is torn apart Body bleeding Nerves are frayed As your ill smile Stains your face Making war And juggling sin My fate stands in the shadow Of your sickly grin

Fireball 04:30
FIREBALL Fireball! fireball! Burn them crispy one and all. I get to see your minions fall, when I pull out my fireball. I can't wait till I turn fifth level, no I can't wait, till I put that spell in my book. Because when I get that spell, I know I'll be able to kill, anything that gives me a second look. Fireball! fireball! Burn them crispy one and all. I get to see your minions fall, when I pull out my fireball. I know my friends they’d all rather learn to fly, and I've gotten nothing against transmutation. But with all I’ve been through, From the Borderlands to the agents of Cthulhu, I’d just rather have my evocation. Fireball! fireball! Burn them crispy one and all. I get to see your minions fall, when I pull out my fireball. Feels like-I've got the sun in the palm of my hand. Feels like- I've got- the sun …………….. I don’t even need to think that much about it. Just a pinch of sulfur does the trick. You can spend all your time raising up them zombies, but a fireball burn them like a wick. Fireball! fireball! Burn them crispy one and all. I get to see your minions fall, when I pull out my fireball.

LARPin' IN THE WOODS Help, I’m lost in the woods and the worgs are closing in, I’m shaking in my boots and this armor chafes my skin How did I let you talk me into this? Snake-tongue, you’re just insidious I’m LARPing down in Maryland and I don’t have a ride back home. It’s raining, and my food supply’s gone low. I’m stuck down in Maryland and I’ve never felt so alone. You left me, left me LARPin in the woods. My foam sword is peeling, and I forgot the word for yield, and the orc warriors beaten me till I’m bruised. I feel so abused. How did I let you talk me into this? I even paid for all the tolls and gas. I’m LARPing down in Maryland and I don’t have a ride back home. It’s raining, and my food supply’s gone low. I’m stuck here in Maryland and I’ve never felt so alone. You left me, left me LARPin in the woods.

Ride A Red Dragon Ride A Red Dragon Blood pressure on the rise As my ambition lies Inside his fierce eyes Chasing the wind Where it goes Bold as rock My confidence flows Ride a Red Dragon Flying far from trouble Which lies as rubble My ocean of tears starts to bubble Drinking it down Smooth elixir of life Cleans my soul Takes away all strife Ride A Red Dragon Nogard Der A Edir

Killer GM 03:10
Killer GM Just a friendly heads up, There’s a new GM at the game store He ran something last Thursday night And he’s a little bit hardcore. Had every thing planned out I was ready to game all night All equipped and leveled up But something, something didn’t feel right. Maybe it was his stack of books He had every copy of Grimtooth’s Traps Maybe it was all the bloodstains, next to the list of names Crossed off on his battlemat. Might as well- Rip up your sheet and start again He’s a k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-killer GM. He’s a k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-killer GM. He’s a killer, a killer , a killer A killer GM. He’s got killer instincts. You can see it in his eyes He paints his mini’s with house paint, Soyouknowhedoesn’tcare, if everybody dies His encounters barely have any treasure And Raise Dead is over five-thousand gold He drops templates on every creature Even pixies, NPCs, and yellow mold Rip up your sheet and start again He’s a k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-killer GM. He’s a k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-killer GM. He’s a killer, a killer , a killer A killer GM. Gave him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s too late I’m bleeding out, I’m bleeding out Now all the Core Rule god's can’t save me from my fate. I’m dying, I’m really dying Don’t even have any Hero Points to spend. Might as well- Rip up your sheet and start again He’s a k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-killer GM. He’s a k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-killer GM. He’s a killer, a killer , a killer A killer GM.

Bard Assassins Back in the day A Bard would sing History witnessed in battles Off to the side The songs would shine Without personal involvement It wasn't until The GM who kills Offed a brother Bard one game Wielding our sound We began shutting down All the ill advances A concentrated sonic wave Saved us that day And spawned the Bard Assassins Bard Assassins are all about Killing Injustice with mighty sound We harness all vibration in the universe A sonic killer ray that really hurts You know us Bards have seen it all Empires will rise to ultimately fall We band together making a stronger song You killed a brother of which there is no other His tone was just so special Infusing his soul Into our sonic gold Ripping the Killer GM's face off Bard Assassins are all about Killing Injustice with mighty sound We sing the waves That drown you while burning

Revenge’s Folly Playing in the Forest of Everdreams You search for your enemy As your longsword gleams It reflects in my eyes Behind the hill where I hide An easy breeze Blows through the trees The last thing I feel As a fall to my knees My GM spoke His words make me choke on the vomit in my throat Ambushed by your army Swords are plunged inside me An easy breeze Blows through the trees The last thing I feel As a fall to my knees You think by winning you got what you need I'm unfettered now My soul is freed To be born again to cut off your head...
