Three brothers, mischief, magic, and song
Three brothers who quest against wrong
Three brothers who fight from afar
Three brothers who'll die to protect the star
The Ruby Star, set to have twenty sides
The Ruby Star, worth more than anyone's pride
Set to have powers beyond belief
Those who touch and survive shall find relief
Though the powers received are set to be great
You mustn't touch unless you understand the weight
To understand the star complete
Three brothers, mischief, magic, and song
Three brothers who quest against wrong
Three brothers who fight from afar
Three brothers who'll die to protect the star
To share knowledge you found on your own
Is to bring death upon the brothers' throne
The greatest secret must be kept
For knot-wind bestowed upon the star will mean certain death
Three brothers, mischief, magic, and song
Three brothers who quest against wrong
Three brothers who fight from afar
Three brothers who'll die to protect the star
The Ruby Star, set to have twenty sides
The Ruby Star, worth more than anyone's pride
Set to have powers beyond belief
Those who touch and survive shall find relief
Though the powers received are set to be great
You mustn't touch unless you understand the weight
To understand the star complete

Three brothers, mischief, magic, and song
Three brothers who quest against wrong
Three brothers who fight from afar
Three brothers who'll die to protect the star
The Ruby Star, set to have twenty sides
The Ruby Star, worth more than anyone's pride
Set to have powers beyond belief
Those who touch and survive shall find relief
Though the powers received are set to be great
You mustn't touch unless you understand the weight
To understand the star complete
Three brothers, mischief, magic, and song
Three brothers who quest against wrong
Three brothers who fight from afar
Three brothers who'll die to protect the star
To share knowledge you found on your own
Is to bring death upon the brothers' throne
The greatest secret must be kept
For knot-wind bestowed upon the star will mean certain death
Death
Will mean certain death
Death
Worth more than anyone's pride
The middle brother's tavern-rowdy take on the same ballad.
The youngest brother's rougher, more recent recording. No timestamped lyrics yet for this specific take.
Where the gutters run deep and the stone starts to sweat
There's blood in the drains and the debt ain't met
With moss on our leathers and knives in our teeth
We crawl where you sleep, we strike from underneath
Your lords eat gold while our kin chew bone
But we carve our claims in the roots of stone
We don't need gates, we don't need keys
We got claws and crawl spaces and city disease
So sleep while you can on your high, clean bed
The gutters run deep, and the deep ones tread
When flesh became fortress and bone became wall
And teeth marched in silence to swallow us all
They rose from the ash where the black stone breaks
For shadows, no names, no past, no stakes
A hammer, a flame, a song, a lie
Each bullet on the stone and none asked why
Through ribs like bridges and skulls like shields
They carved the thing down in the corn-blind fields
It fell not from blade, nor bolt, nor bell
But from fire in hearts that remembered hell
And when the corpse giant sank to sleep
The Rockbasher said, "The stone runs deep"
The story of the Flesh Colossus that broke against Menboko's wall, and the battle where Sir Quith Abinor earned the name Rockbasher.
As sung by Corin Vashtal
In South Citavas
where shadows creep,
They found ol’ Lasker neck-deep in sleep.
A glyph on the wall,
a spider-carved throat,
And a map in his belt with a chapel of note.
Three Roof Runners burst in,
ready to slice,
But met their end ‘fore they could strike twice.
No locals they,
just distant crew,
Our heroes made sure none withdrew.
One trap,
One glyph,
Too close to death,
One trap,
One glyph,
Hold your breath.
A bribe to a local,
some charm and some gold,
Revealed the next thread in this mystery bold.
They crept through the streets
without raising a sound,
Till Nanoc the Strong stomped the manhole down.
The chapel stood quiet,
all broken and black,
Till Mythanna poked where the pews had a crack.
“Aha!” said the elf,
but a snap and a “YEOW!”
The trap bit back.
He’s limping now.
One trap,
One glyph,
Too close to death,
One trap,
One glyph,
Hold your breath.
Any song with timed lyrics has a "Karaoke Mode" button under its player, opens a full-screen scrolling lyric view: gold for what's coming, red for the line to sing now. Songs without timestamps yet (like Talen Ashcroft's rougher take) will get the button once they have timing data.
