Angkrag Blues by Uzriel

Runner-Up for May 2021

A song in the style of Undead Blues from the mining village of Angkrag where the decrepit undead nobles of Magnagora are sent for "retirement."

 

It's always night, deep down the mines,
There ain't no sky, but I don't mind
In this pit, that Nil forgot
Here in Angkrag at the end of the line

Oh all year round, its all the same
I've got no pulse, ain't that a shame
In this pit, that Nil forgot
Here in Angkrag at the end of the line

In the Engine, I was once a Lord
I've lost it all, and now I'm abhorred
In this pit, that Nil forgot
Here in Angkrag at the end of the line

My skin is peeling off, down to my knee.
Look in the mirror, don't know who I see
In this pit, that Nil forgot
Here in Angkrag at the end of the line

Yeah my old lady, her heart is stone
Won't even touch me, and now she's just bone
In this pit, that Nil forgot
Here in Angkrag at the end of the line

So please do come, with life to lose
And I'll give you, these Angkrag Blues
In this pit, that Nil forgot
Here in Angkrag at the end of the line
