treasure called to us across the hemisphere
a party of five formed
the village elder warned, “Only four of you will return here.”
still we set out on a foggy morn
two elves and a dragonborn,
me and my baby left our homes in the care of a friend
who was sure we’d meet our end
in the mouth of a manticore
how could he know?
oh, no
that’s tiamat, the god of greed, in tow
oh, no
pick your feet up
we have got to go
my baby’s fast but she ain’t that fast
I hear her calling out my name
attack the world with everything you got
don’t pause to question none
you'll beat the world by one
you must keep moving while you’re hot
in the dark led by a holy horn
two elves and a dragonborn
death follows where my baby goes
she’s taking out them trolls
she's making all high rolls
how could she know?
oh, no
that’s tiamat, the god of greed, in tow
oh, no
pick your feet up
we have got to go
my baby’s fast but she ain’t that fast
I hear her calling out my name one last time
she is so beautiful all wrapped up in her blanket
forget she’s all covered in blood
she says so quietly I almost do not hear her
go on, go on, go on, go on without me
we put her on the horse’s back and cross the river
she looked, to me, as white as snow
she says so quietly I almost do not hear her
go on, go on, go on, go on without me
you know I’m only slowing down the party
I make her travel so far I start to feel evil
her breath is fading fast and how
oh, she says nothing
but I know what she’d say,
she’d say, Go on, go on, go on, go on without me
you know I’m only slowing down the party
if only I had not been so greedy
my baby might be standing here beside me
NPC and My Simple Pop Song set the stage, then, surprisingly enough, it was Chromonyms that grew to be the track that propelled this album to 'absolutely must have' status for me. I honestly have no idea what this song is actually referring to, but, personally, I hear traces of the LoZ Oracle games every time Iisten. Only bits and pieces fit, but every time I think of Nayru as the nerdy girl with blue hair, I laugh and all is well in the world. Best LoZ saga that was never told. pod
