[a brigand's advice]

who do you work for? for whom do you toil and sweat and bleed out for
for gold and a meal and a roof over your head? do you know their name?
henchmen! highwaymen with family titles.
cutthroats, sellswords priests and bankers -
they'll cut your throat just to bleed you dry.
crisis! of identity! a number in a ledger, father said that was the life for me.
now the jailor's nodding off. i can see him down the hall.
there's a lockpick in my bread today so the hangman will not see me fall.

do not sell all that you do / to the old gods and the new

line your pockets to the brim before you hit the road again
run your pockets in the street out for all the town to see
take no knee before murderous thieves!
better dead than living amongst the undead, i'm not your fucking property

brigand - that's what they're saying!
as if the word itself were bastardized apart from what i really am.
i'm just a man. with nothing but a passing thought about what gods may judge upon my soul.
when you're in that hole. that darkened cell.
you think too much.
so heed my advice - steal everything not nailed down, and run like hell!

do not sell all that you do / to the old gods and the new

line your pockets to the brim before you hit the road again
run your pockets in the street out for all the town to see
take no knee before murderous thieves!
better dead than living amongst the undead, i'm not your fucking property

take this bastard's advice...
