==== The Ballad of the Kind Joker ====
=== Written by SinkOrSwim ===
//Sung in a delightful murder-ballad-esque style, played simply on mandolin and guitar//

I wandered the land,\\
With no purpose to my life;\\
No firm place to stand,\\
Born to live and forced to fight.\\
\\
Just a simple man,\\
Making his way in the world alone.\\
No kin, no clan,\\
No city here to call my home.\\
\\
//Chorus//\\
Then came a Kind Joker to me\\
Showed me a diff'rent way to be\\
\\
His glowing green eyes\\
They took in my despair\\
"A roll of the dice,\\
Could settle all your cares\\
\\
You wish for a home?\\
A family beside you?\\
You'll ne'er walk alone\\
With a dice-roll to guide you"\\
\\
//Chorus//\\
Like a fool I shook his hand, the Kind Joker led me\\
Took me into his clan, they housed and they fed me\\
\\
But soon came the change, a Joker they made of me\\
The glory they claimed, deformed and reshaped me\\
\\
And now here I lie,\\
Wracked and tormented.\\
When the dice rolls high,\\
My life is lived contented.\\
\\
But when low fall the dice,\\
My twisted body is plagued with pain.\\
I curse the Jokers life,\\
Whose kindness laid me to waste.\\
\\
//Chorus//\\
So kinsman, beware, learn from my blindness.\\
Be wary of villains who offer their kindness.\\
