The group has made their way to the prominent city of Boarstead and are now standing in the middle of the Shrine of Maress. The Shrine was built for the elven god nearly 1,200 years ago in an attempt to help the Nation of Man when they faced the existential threat of the dragons of Vritranya. Despite the God’s best efforts, humanity fell and Maress died with them. Now, to awaken the God, our heroes play an acoustic cover of a classic Elf Mother song that was popular when Maress was alive. Pugface knows it by heart so she takes lead vocals and plays bass, Edgar plays the crap out of his lute, while Roscoe and Jocasta add percussion and back-up vocals. The foursome feels the power of collaboration for the first time.
lyrics
Pugface: (singing)
WHEN I WAS YOUNG MY DADDY TO ME SAID
LISTEN WITH THOSE POINTY EARS ON YOUR HEAD
THERE’S NOTHING IN THIS LIFE YOU’LL EVER NEED
THAT WON’T BE LAID AT YOUR FEET MY SON
SAY THE WORD AND IT IS DONE
THE LIKES US WEREN’T BORN TO BLEED
Add Jocasta:
BUT I COULD ONLY SIT STILL FOR SO LONG
Add Roscoe:
STAYIN’ QUIET WITH A SILVER SPOON IN MY MOUTH
Pugface:
NO DADDY I AIN’T COMIN HOME NO MORE
GONE ON THE WIND, OUTBOUND AND HEADED…
All Three:
SOUTH!
Pugface:
CAUSE I…
All Three:
BABY, I WAS BORN TO BLEED
Pugface:
A ROLLING STONE NEVER COMING HOME
BUT FAR FROM FREE.
A SHOOTING COMET
CAUGHT UP IN THE STARS
BUT ICE ON FIRE
WON’T GET YOU VERY FAR
‘CAUSE I…
All Three:
I WAS BORN TO BLEED
Pugface:
SO MANY YEARS OUT ON THE LAM
WITH NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHO I AM.
NO NORTH STAR, NO GUIDING CREED.
YOU WAKE UP ONE DAY TO FIND
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT IN THIS LIFE.
AEAEAHH, YOU’RE GONNA BLEED!
AND I COULD ONLY RUN FOR
Add Jocasta:
SO LONG
Add Roscoe:
BEFORE MY FEET GAVE OUT FROM UNDER ME
Pugface:
OH DADDY WHAT'S THE POINT IN EVEN TRYING?
WHEN FREEDOM WILL NEVER REALLY BE
All Three:
FREE
Pugface:
CAUSE I…
All Three:
BABY, I WAS BORN TO BLEED
Pugface:
A ROLLING STONE NEVER COMING HOME
BUT FAR FROM FREE.
A SHOOTING COMET
CAUGHT UP IN THE STARS
BUT ICE ON FIRE
WON’T GET YOU VERY FAR
CAUSE I…
All Three:
I WAS BORN TO BLEED
I WAS BORN TO BLEED
BABY, I WAS BORN TO BLEED
