Massacre

“Hark!” cries the goblin watch atop the tower
“Look to the east and see an army drawing near
Hordes of the spider-folk will arrive within the hour
Take up your arms; we shall need every goblin here
“Archers-- man the outer walls
Soldiers-- draw your goblin-swords
Ballistas-- prepare to crush our foe
Riders-- mount your battle-wargs”
“No!” cry the goblin young, watching their parents
Don helmets, swords, and shields to fight the spider horde
Solemnity in the air has become apparent
And families cannot stay together anymore
Cackling-- all the spider-folk
Climbing-- o’er the goblin walls
Legions-- too many to hold back
Screaming-- the goblins fall
Death and anguish, venomous evil
Anthropomorphic arachnids kill
Swarming the hopeless goblin people
Acting out their murderous will
“Please!” cry the goblins, maimed and bleeding out
The spiders laugh and dip their fangs further in
They do not answer what the battle was about
They do not steal-- they simply fought to win
Cackling-- all the spider-folk
Climbing-- o’er the goblin walls
Legions-- no one left to fight
Ruined-- the goblin halls

Guided to Victory

You think you’ve crushed us all?
That we’re as good as dead?
You should not have left me standing
This goblin won’t forget
Past the corpses of my
Kin and friends
I march on, and I will
Take revenge
This slaughter unprovoked
Our former friends now foes
We’ve battled men before
But not the spider-folk
I will know the reason
For this crime
At my hands, the Spider
Queen will die
Spirits of my fallen kin
Cry out within my blade
Yearning for the spiders’ blood
And blood is what they’ll taste
I may fight alone, but there are
Voices in my heart
Guiding me to victory
So singing, I depart
I shed a single tear
But there’s no time to cry
The spider-folk must know
The wrath of genocide
I will know the reason
For this crime
At my hands, the Spider
Queen will die

The Dragon
04:13
|

The mountain looms ahead
The dragon’s peak of death
Guards the way to the caves
Where spiders make their nest
Do not disturb the beast
Cautionary tales of old
It makes its grisly feast
From the charred remains of the bold
Its scales are iron-strong
Its tail a mile long
When it breathes its fire
Pray you’re not within its sight
Its teeth are sabre-sharp
Tear anything apart
Wings that bear it higher
And block out all the light
Now it rises, soaring through the air
Jewels gleam on its crimson hide
Roaring as it leaves its lair
I look into its eyes
Fire burning deep inside
Its belly now erupts
Scorching through the quaking sky
But I will not succumb
It circles overhead
I raise my voice out loud
Beckoning the beast to descend
And fight me on the ground
It grins like I’m a joke
Flies down toward the land
Alights in a cloud of smoke
Mere feet from where I stand
Its nose within an inch
But I don’t even flinch
Dragons thirst for terror
And I’ve nothing left to fear
Its malice quickly fades
Its foe so strangely brave
Its head bows with respect
I take my seat behind its ears
Now it rises, soaring through the air
Jewels gleam on its crimson hide
Roaring as it leaves its lair
I look into its eyes
Fire burning deep inside
Its belly now erupts
Scorching through the quaking sky
My enemies shall succumb
Looking down I see the spiders scurry to their caves
I invoke the dragon’s wrath and bathe them all in flame
Their screams and writhing legs bring laughter to my tongue
But though they die, my revenge has just begun

Cave of Spiders
03:48
|

I tread on spider-flesh
The dragon feeds
I step into the spider cave
The dragon I must leave
The darkness swallows me
Stalactites drip
Cold foreboding
Extends its icy grip
What’s in the distance?
A figure wrapped in white
My torch shows its gruesome face
Bloodless, without sight
I look above me
Where dozens more now hang
Dead goblins stare at me
Ensnared and pierced by fangs

Captured
04:33

Endless patter patter patter
They’re coming
A million legs and eyes surround
They’re coming
I cannot escape; too late
They’re coming
Sword in hand I challenge fate
They’re coming
Horrid laughter
Ever after
“Tiny goblin all alone!”
They’re laughing
“Don’t you know you’re far from home?”
They’re laughing
“Is that a sword or just a knife?”
They’re laughing
“Time for us to take your life!”
They’re laughing
Horrid laughter
Ever after
“String the goblin up in web
Watch it squirm and yell
Give our guest a royal welcome
To our spider hell
Seems its flying steed has gone
It has no friends left
Cover up its mouth and let it
Ponder painful death”
“Tiny goblin all alone!”
They’re laughing
“Don’t you know you’re far from home?”
They’re laughing
“Cutest thing we’ve ever seen!”
They’re laughing
“Time for you to meet our queen!”
They’re laughing

The Spider Queen
04:21
|

Night-black carapace
Fangs like knives
Scary areola
Red row of eyes
Legs that molest
She chitters with sadistic glee
Pulls me to her breast
Grabs my web, starts unraveling
I feel her heart pumping
Fangs wet with pleasure
Drip on my face
Throbbing in my veins
“Fight me, goblin
Take up your sword
You fought this far
Take your reward
Fight me, goblin
I want to see
Your best thrust, and
You want me”
My sword strikes with fury
Passionate shriek
Pierced by her venom
We both bleed
Her legs flagellate
In and out I lunge
Breathing pain and fury
Our bodies become one
Her flesh tight around me
Her insides squeeze
Soak me with life
Scream with release

Kingdom of Men
02:44

Arms around my spider queen
I can’t forget the things I’ve seen
Ask her why she razed my home
She says that I should know
The spiders were so recently
Attacked by what was seemingly
A goblin bomb that shook their nest
I stop her to protest
The goblins held no hatred here
This reeks of deceit
Someone stood to gain from this
It wasn’t you; it wasn’t me
Men! Men!
It was the kingdom of men
Dead! Dead!
I will have all men dead
Spider scouts confirm it all
Now men live in the goblin halls
Children being used as slaves
I howl in my rage
My spider queen is swelling up
Sacs spew on the floor
Children waiting to emerge
Dozens now, then dozens more
Our children hatch
A perfect match
Of hybrid parts
With spider leg
And goblin face
They laugh and march
Turn from my spawn
I look upon
My spider wife

Pain & Glory
03:18
|
|||
Riding on the dragon
My spider wife wrapped around me
Look down at my home below
See our hybrid army surrounding
Men run screaming out
From the homes the cowards stole
Now they suffer vengeance at the fangs
Of my goblin-spider children’s mandibles
The pain of glory warms my soul
Like a gory theatre show
Splattered corpses on the streets
A platter for my progeny
My enemies cannot escape
My dragon-steed patrols the gates
Humans eaten roasted or raw
Eradicate them all
The cowards raise their hands in the air
I stare at them and laugh in their face
If mercy’s what they hope to receive
I’ll return the mercy they gave to my race
The pain of glory warms my soul
Like a gory theatre show
Corpses splattered on the streets
A platter for my progeny
My enemies cannot escape
My dragon-steed patrols the gates
Humans eaten roasted or raw
I kiss my wife’s maw
