    Lyrics
    Dragons breathing fire
    Goblins in the shire
    A windswept misty mire
    Preaching to the choir
    In a hovel eating mud
    In chainmail stained with blood
    The monks are chewing cud
    A mace falls with a thud
    Buxom wenches serving mead
    Maidens waiting to be freed
    Upon my trusty steed
    Like in that game Assassin’s Creed
    Giants grinding bones
    Peasants armed with sticks and stones
    A dying hunchback groans
    Like in that program Game of Thrones
    Bishops come to blows
    Crusaders with crossbows
    4 and 20 crows
    My fingers look like toes
    Elves keeping the peace
    The battle will not cease
    A princess I release
    Watch my wealth increase
    A cauldron full of ham
    Fear the battering ram
    Sacrificial lamb
    Hear the drawbridge slam
    Dung piles up in heaps
    Dungeon master creeps
    Another pustule weeps
    And sleeping beauty sleeps
    Stretching on a rack
    Dressed in a hessian sack
    Trolls whipping my back
    Catapult attack
    Behold my mighty sword
    I’ll strike you like a chord
    If you do not applaud
    Bring me my reward
    I wield a jousting lance
    In pantaloons I prance
    Minstrels yell “Pray dance!”
    Dwarves look for romance
    Wizards casting spells
    Drinking out of wells
    Making unpleasant smells
    A passing merchant sells
    A gauntlet for my hand
    The battlements are manned
    The battle plans are planned
    Enemies be damned
    A princess kissed a frog
    Ogres in a bog
    Spit roasting a hog
    Dead horses to flog
    The slightest scratch will fester
    Chuckle at the jester
    Forgive me if I pester
    A medieval quester
    Demons we must vanquish
    Dust off the pear of anguish
    Squeeze them ’til their heads squish
    Merlin, grant me 1 wish
    The stocks await my foes
    My codpiece grows and grows
    Prick of a thorny rose
    And off to sleep she goes
    Upon the forest bed
    An arrow through the head
    We all make our own bread
    At 32 you’re dead
    A horn’s distinctive parp
    The plucking of a harp
    The taste of fresh speared carp
    My trident’s nice and sharp
    Martyrs kings and knights
    Everyone in tights
    Brutal bloody fights
    To avenge imagined slights
    The thunder of a hoof
    Only got one tooth
    Clairvoyants saying sooth
    Thatched or blue slate roof
    And walls made of manure
    A bucket for a sewer
    Torture we endure
    And leeches are a cure
    Witches in the moat
    Burn them if they float
    A dagger to the throat
    Worshipping a goat
    A stoney faced abbess
    A damsel in distress
    An unsightly abscess
    The swamp is your address

    In college I had some noisy neighbors who kept me up all night and morning so one day I put on the "Arc" cd from the Neil Young and Crazy Horse special edition of "Weld" on full blast and repeat then went to work letting it play at top level for 9 or 10 hours. That disc was nothing but feedback from the live disc. Now I will do that with The Age of Darkness. Not only will it get Jenny and the boys some cash but it would make friends of my neighbors rather than enemies!

    I noticed a song I hadn't heard before by The Darkness and began dishes. Thought I had them all listened to. Guess there are some bonus tracks I need to catch up with. Anyway, this started and I murmured the exact quote,"what in the hell"s going on?" Went to go look at my phone, thinking it got off the playlist somehow....then I said, "Oh it's that one I hadn't heard"...and THEN immediately thought, "Ha, that's Dan!" ....What a wonderful gift. 👍🤣😊 It would be great for a future album to have the other three doing a lead vocal or two as well.
