Orc Mage Lyrics

I have studied bow and sword

Physical weapons leave me bored

And I have trained as a smithy

But the anvil leaves me weary

I read the minds of my peers

They fear the power of the seers

The fools fear evolution

Don’t accept I’m a magician

You fucking know you’re a failure at war I don’t need wizards to sell me no law

You’re a disgrace to the garrison, redemption is here in a pint of medicine

I feel the magic within me

Conjuration is my destiny

Heavy armour is so crude

My love for robes is misconstrued

I respect my ancestors axes

But I yearn to wield a jewelled staff

I do not fear the battleground

My lightning bolts will raze the ground

Get out of our village and start your vision quest

But don’t expect a welcome from the dark elves in the mountains

Maybe the wilderness will teach you how to fight

There is no forgiveness from the wraiths in the black of night

Your magic is too weak even if it’s in your blood

You will fail as a mage ‘cos you’re an orc who never did no good

You dare address the mages guild

Asking your dreams be fulfilled

Don’t waste your time return to your clan

And make it hasty while you still can

Not in thousand, thousand years

Has an orc drunk the magic tears

Go back fool whence you came

Your presence will bring only shame

Fuck you and your entitled place of learning

Your dumb dismissal will not dilute my yearning

I’ll learn the magic ways from the earth itself

I will acquire knowledge by mystery and stealth
