about

Not strictly following the 1960s streak, I nonetheless tried to keep it roughly within spec - 1972 might be nearer the mark.

The subject matter is a popular role-playing videogame from around 2006. The dragon-bashing sequel came out in 2011 so there's a good chance people will be able to identify the series even if they haven't played this particular one.

I had enormous difficulty getting the vocals done acceptably and came close to ditching the track. Probably a good job I didn't because at least one person really, really liked it.

lyrics

Last Days of the Brotherhood

Lucian came to me and said
"There is an old man I want dead"
I killed him in his bed, in our Father's name

Lucian's rolling down the hill
Completely unconscious as he can't be killed
Set him on fire and he screams so shrill
In our Father's name

...It's all a game... It's not the same, just a game...

Lucian told me that they had to die
All of the Brethren and he told me why
One of the Brotherhood is a spy
In our Father's name

The Speaker came to me and said
"These are the people we want dead"
Where I walked the streets ran red
In our Father's name

Lucian told me that my crimes would stop
Half of my victims were the men on top
Now he had caught me I was for the chop
But it turned out my orders they were all mistakes
Someone had switched them for a bunch of fakes
Someone was playing for tremendous stakes

The Night Mother came to me and said
"These are the people I want dead"
I heard her whispers in my head
In our Father's name
