I like that a lot of us are Stellaris players who just clicked from one Bill Sutton song to the next after Xenophobia and built a weird little cult following for the guy.
To play devil's advocate for the Townspeople: To be fair, if someone, who is the only sorcerer in town, is blamed for the (seemingly) magical death of the baron and flees your murdermob, comes back after some years with some old guy's cut off head, I wouldn't trust him either
I mean, your right. Though I’d avoid pissing the guy off in the first place, especially if he’s lived there for a while without demonstrating any real power in the first place and seems as shocked by this as you are.
Depends. I mean if I had grown up with this sorcerer, gotten to know him and considered him a friend, I at least hope I would, give him a chance to proove his innocence. A mysterious murder alone is no basis for an accusation.
It started in a tavern on the edge of Macke Town The talk had turned to stories of the night He drank and laughed with all the rest and chilled them with his tales Spoken in the shadowed eerie light When all at once they noticed signs they had not seen before No candles burned inside the tavern hall The windows shuttered tightly and no light spread from the doors The blacksmith's son glowed pale to light them all Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Knowing as he gallops that he can't go home again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done Frightened by his wizard's light, his old friends stay away He finds himself abandoned and alone His lifetime friendships shattered by a power undesired His life destroyed by things he has not known Then one day the Baron dies of no mere earthly cause And all assign the blacksmith's son the blame In the night they come to take him to his death upon the stake He escapes into the dark that shrouds the plain Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Knowing as he gallops that he can't go home again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done He rides the plain a year or more, searching for a sign Of a sorcerer who murders village lords And if he should find him he resolves to settle all Bringing his name with power and a sword So comes the day he finds a tower black against the sun The power grips his body like a claw It pulls him toward the tower where his shame may be avenged And the castle is invaded by the pawn He finds the sorcerer asleep secure within his spells His rage fuels power to strike the wards away! He slashes down with sharpened blade and takes the wizard's head And he feels his unknown power drain away Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Knowing as he gallops that he's going home again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son He brings his friends and neighbors proof of deeds he has not done But when he rides in triumph back again to Macke town Relief at his salvation quickly dies For though his power has vanished and he brings the murderer's head The village wisdom calls his claims a lie Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain Searching for a power that he'll never find again Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done!
If you haven't seen an above comment, the original artist re-posted his old songs on Bandcamp. Just use his name to search it, or the above comment has a link
Not gonna lie, this reminds me of the mariners revenge song, but in that song, the son's father left him for taberns and bets, instead of him getting an un unwanted power
@TheLadyTardis This has the origin for some: aphelion-webzine DOTT com SLASH features SLASH listroom02 DOTT htm But I don't know if this one is any sort of reference. Also, @weyrdmusicman, it's "Macke Town" not "Mackeytown"

Bear Van Helsing funny, eh? I found out about xenophobia probably because of the same vid that you came from (every stellaris run in a nutshell)
Pretty much. This one is probably my favorite.
I'm here because someone i know plays stellaris
Bear Van Helsing a
you too huh
It sounds like he just wrote a song about a DND campaign he ran, and honestly I'm here for it.
If you kill the wizard that bit you, it cures your wizardliness.
Doesn’t fix the ignorance of your peers, though.
@@superbodaciousflibbertigib8139 to be fair if a wanted criminal comes back to your town with a head in a bag. you would be suspicious of him to
Sounds like house of the rising sun mixed with big iron but with wizards.
Haha! Yes, that is 100% accurate. Well phrased.
It is the tune of Ghost Riders in the sky.
Its more ghost ri....... Ouuu.....
To play devil's advocate for the Townspeople:

well fuck them
I mean, your right. Though I’d avoid pissing the guy off in the first place, especially if he’s lived there for a while without demonstrating any real power in the first place and seems as shocked by this as you are.
Look, I don't know what kind of miserable, fearful existence you want to lead, but when an accused murderer shows me a severed head, I choose *trust*
I mean he did the same thing right? Assume the first sorcerer he came across was the murderer with no proof and try and kill him.
Depends. I mean if I had grown up with this sorcerer, gotten to know him and considered him a friend, I at least hope I would, give him a chance to proove his innocence. A mysterious murder alone is no basis for an accusation.
It started in a tavern on the edge of Macke Town
The talk had turned to stories of the night
He drank and laughed with all the rest and chilled them with his tales
Spoken in the shadowed eerie light
When all at once they noticed signs they had not seen before
No candles burned inside the tavern hall
The windows shuttered tightly and no light spread from the doors
The blacksmith's son glowed pale to light them all
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain
Knowing as he gallops that he can't go home again
Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son
His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done
Frightened by his wizard's light, his old friends stay away
He finds himself abandoned and alone
His lifetime friendships shattered by a power undesired
His life destroyed by things he has not known
Then one day the Baron dies of no mere earthly cause
And all assign the blacksmith's son the blame
In the night they come to take him to his death upon the stake
He escapes into the dark that shrouds the plain
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain
Knowing as he gallops that he can't go home again
Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son
His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done
He rides the plain a year or more, searching for a sign
Of a sorcerer who murders village lords
And if he should find him he resolves to settle all
Bringing his name with power and a sword
So comes the day he finds a tower black against the sun
The power grips his body like a claw
It pulls him toward the tower where his shame may be avenged
And the castle is invaded by the pawn
He finds the sorcerer asleep secure within his spells
His rage fuels power to strike the wards away!
He slashes down with sharpened blade and takes the wizard's head
And he feels his unknown power drain away
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain
Knowing as he gallops that he's going home again
Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son
He brings his friends and neighbors proof of deeds he has not done
But when he rides in triumph back again to Macke town
Relief at his salvation quickly dies
For though his power has vanished and he brings the murderer's head
The village wisdom calls his claims a lie
Sword in hand and rein in hand he rides across the plain
Searching for a power that he'll never find again
Born and raised in Macke Town, the blacksmith's only son
His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done
His neighbors hound and hunt him for a deed he has not done!
In 6 years, this will be 40 years old.
Holy crap the time flies

Damn time travelers. Cant even use a calendar correctly.
welp .... I have a new DnD character to make now lol
Exactly my though upon hearing this too
Same
Same.
And I thought I was being original
Sounds like a BBEG origin story
Could be a great movie... with the right director, script, and actor.
Would prefer a novel but movie would be good to.
Nah a DND campaign
it would make a cool short webcomic
@@Laucomagef YES
Actually this guy is talented.
This is The House of the Rising Sun of Middle Earth
This song is so fucking good
The dulcimer in this always gets me. Wonderful story, beautiful song.
My players in DnD killed a Barren. Now this guy is hunting them
Those poor poor players : )
Let us know how it goes lad, we want to hear the story.
I would seriously buy this album on vinyl, or any physical format for that matter.
LOVE THIS SONG! HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD IT BEFORE!?!
Because the other wizard had only sparked his abilities to cover up the fact that he'd killed the baron?
This fits pretty well actually to the Wheel Of Time series, men who can channel getting killed for what they are.
Grimmn
I was thinking that while listening too!
For being deadly insane and dangerous, yep ...
Wow 4 years later and we both have the same thought.
I want one of these tapes so bad.
why is this so good?
i love all i hear from Sutton.
I fucking love Filk music
Now that's powerful music. Thanks so much for sharing.
I wanted to get this on itunes but bill sutton is such an old and niche artists I actually can’t find it anywhere else but here.

My favorite song
Sounds like an interesting D&D campaign
It's like mount and blade the song
Scared to sleep, much. xoxoxo lol
I came here from the stellaris video, since the xenophobe video got deleted and this is next on the playlist it goes to this one
this one? ruclips.net/video/O1CQ7Vwz8Eo/видео.html
Not gonna lie, this reminds me of the mariners revenge song, but in that song, the son's father left him for taberns and bets, instead of him getting an un unwanted power
Gonna turn this into a dnd one shot
Thanks, that makes sense.
I can hear house of the rising sun out of this
I hear Ghost Riders in the Sky
fucking same
Why is this shit so good, where can I find more? who is this dude?
9 people are wrong.
11.
X number of pepole are wrong.
@TheLadyTardis This has the origin for some: aphelion-webzine DOTT com SLASH features SLASH listroom02 DOTT htm But I don't know if this one is any sort of reference.
Also, @weyrdmusicman, it's "Macke Town" not "Mackeytown"
Also the village elders prolly killed the lord thats why they knew that was a lie lol
I don't get why his power had to be stripped when he defeated the other wizard.
Either a self-enforcing Wizard Law (never kill your own kind), or the other sorcerer gave him power to provide a scapegoat.
You do realise you answerd 5 years later
Im honestly just wondering, cause i cant rember myself, how did you find this song?
Listening to the Xenophobe song from this tape.
see he did this lonely traveler a favor because now i know the answer the question asked long ago.
My god. This is a damn first. A video with no dislikes!
and it lasted 10 years, until you said that.
SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU MONSTER.
NOOOO YOU DESTROYED IT!!!
For the Imperium!
Long live the emperor
Yea thats good :-) happy Kannins
Wait, ain't that kinda like the melody from the House of the Rising Sun? But this one is a year older.
Could me a good anime honestly
I know this is only tangentially related, but what happened to the xenophobia song?
It appears to have been removed for promoting hate speech...I'm speechless.
@@jouaienttoi youtube is fucked
What do you mean, it‘s still there
Who got here all the way from rimmy?
How do you...
Long story short kid kills random wizard for liking black he prolly had nothing todo with that killing im sure theres lots of wizards in that wprld
He took a few years to find that wizard so probably not
Factos
I thought this was xenophobia
