The Goblin Way
The Goblin Way: Unapologetic Life in Chaos
Lyrics
We can run like cowards
We have the option to escape fearfully.
We can fight like dogs
We can confront challenges with aggression.
We can live in squalor
We might choose to live in poverty or squalid conditions.
Or high up on the hog
Alternatively, we could live in luxury or abundance.
And we're small and scrappy
Despite being small and unattractive, especially to others,
Ugly to your eyes
We possess a tenacious and determined spirit.
But what good is beauty
Questioning the value of physical beauty,
When it's time to die
Especially when facing mortality.
We're owner operator independent hired guns
We are independent mercenaries and skilled in clandestine operations.
Skunkworks and foul play
Engaging in secretive and underhanded tactics.
And we're not too proud to do a dirty job that must be done
Willing to undertake dirty tasks that others may avoid.
Because that's the goblin way
Embracing a particular set of principles, known as the goblin way.
Our desires are simple
Our wants are uncomplicated,
And our needs are few
And our necessities are minimal.
But the rules don't apply to us
However, societal norms don't bind us,
Like they do to you
Unlike they do for others.
It's said we have a code that keeps us loyal to the pack
There's a rumored code that fosters loyalty among us,
What it is we couldn't say
Its details are unknown.
But we wouldn't hesitate to stab our mothers in the back
We're not hesitant to betray even our close kin,
Because that's the goblin way
As it aligns with the goblin way.
We drink and we remember
We indulge in drinking and cherishing memories,
We fight and we forget
Yet, we easily forget conflicts and fights.
We're living in the moment
Living in the present moment is our philosophy,
It's all that we may get
As the future is uncertain.
We're ransackers and raiders
We are plunderers and marauders,
And we keep a running bet
Keeping bets on how far we'll go.
On when we'll take it all too far
Speculating on when we'll cross certain limits,
But it hasn't happened yet
But it hasn't occurred yet.
And we know no shame
We lack shame and don't experience guilt,
And we feel no guilt
Regarding the possessions we acquire
For the things we take
Or the blood we shed in our pursuits.
Or the blood we spill
This wretched world is just about to give its final groan
This world is on the verge of its demise,
It could all go any day
Any moment could be its end.
But while we're still alive we'll suck the marrow from its bones
Yet, as long as we're alive, we'll exploit its resources to the fullest.
Come whatever may
Embracing whatever comes our way,
Because that's the goblin way
Because that's the goblin way.
