Black Pudding Sliding down a wall In the corner Of a bathroom stall In through the crack beneath the door Waiting below the floor Black Pudding Black Pudding When you’re underground In shadows Never makes a sound Blind but it knows just where you hide Conquers as it divides Black Pudding Black Pudding And in the darkness of your last eclipse Acid kisses from a thousand hungry lips Black Pudding Waiting overhead Voracious For the living and the dead Here since the days before the dawn Here when we’re dead and gone Black Pudding Black Pudding Black Pudding

We can run like cowards We can fight like dogs We can live in squalor Or high up on the hog And we’re small and scrappy Ugly to your eyes But what good is beauty When it’s time to die We’re owner operator independent hired guns Skunkworks and foul play And we’re not too proud to do a dirty job that must be done Because that’s the goblin way Our desires are simple And our needs are few But the rules don’t apply to us Like they do to you It’s said we have a code that keeps us loyal to the pack What it is we couldn’t say But we wouldn’t hesitate to stab our mothers in the back Because that’s the goblin way We drink and we remember We fight and we forget We’re living in the moment It’s all that we may get We’re ransackers and raiders And we keep a running bet On when we’ll take it all too far But it hasn’t happened yet And we know no shame And we feel no guilt For the things we take Or the blood we spill This wretched world is just about to give its final groan It could all go any day But while we’re still alive we’ll suck the marrow from its bones Come whatever may Because that’s the goblin way

LYRICS On their knees the men of Erl went to supplicate their king And said for seven hundred years we have been ruled by your kin But now we yearn for something more to be ruled by a fey lord Said the king “let this be done” so he sent for his own son The command from his lord father To wed The King of Elfland's Daughter He rode far and further still until he reached the twilight fields Where he saw the maiden fey crowned by ice and light of day Unbeknown to her own father He wooed The King of Elfland's Daughter She slipped away to the land of bone and clay Where the seasons pass and stars are mild They wed in love and had a child that way From a tower far away where her father did survey And sang a rune so black and cold to bring her back to his control To the arms of her lord father Returned The King of Elfland's Daughter Returned The King of Elfland's Daughter Returned The King of Elfland's Daughter

Pierced by an arrow Slashed by a sword Bludgeoned with a morning star Poison in a gourd Frozen with a ray of frost Scorched by a fireball Shocked by Chain Lightning Corroded by Prismatic Wall It started out as fun But the damage has been done Don't try to blame someone It happens to everyone You know you took the chance But the chance had other plans Are you gonna cut and run Are you gonna sit there stunned Or are you gonna roll another one Thrown by an eldritch blast Stunned by the Elder Brain Drained with the finger of death Seared by a sacred flame You were looking very brave Until you failed your final save Now you gotta come to terms Now you're gonna feed the worms A tragic circumstance But you’ll get another chance When there’s nothing left to fix Gotta reach for three D6 Go ahead and roll another one Come on now and roll another One life they say is all there is for me and you one life is not enough for the living we could do So take the chance and roll Grab the dice and go Come on now and roll another one Come on now and roll another

Once upon a time you made a bargain With a power no one dares to name Has it brought you everything you wanted Are you pleased with all that you've obtained You hold power Over countless masses But does someone Hold the reins on you Long ago you heard a little secret And you knew you had to know it all But the price of knowledge was a struggle Down a road you deemed too hard to walk When you took a Shortcut through the darkness Did you think the Destination was the same Necromancer if you’d known the answer Would you ask the question once again Necromancer tell me was it worth it Is what you’ve taken more than you have lost In this lifetime which will last forever You’ll have time enough to pay the cost Hear the laughter Ringing through your halls The amusement Of the one who calls Necromancer if you’d known the answer Would you ask the question once again Necromancer if you’d known the answer Would you ask the question once again

about

I've spent the last months working on various projects such as Skate Wizards or making jams for other people's TTRPGs. Since I can't stick to one thing for too long I've also been writing and recording my own random songs. One day I looked down and saw I had completed 5 of them. It seems the right number for a release, no use in holding on to them. So here they are, +5 new songs for you to experience.
