Ballad of the Green Man

I wrote this for a D&D session we’re playing tomorrow. I’m bastardizing the D&D mythos quite a bit, but I tend to do that. A lot.



cast him into Ithland down
the green man fell, the green man fell
shattered was his princely crown
the green man fell, the green man fell

disobeyed his father’s ways
the green man fell, the green man fell
Obad Hai was bleak for days
the green man fell, the green man fell

Kernus fell from holy glades
the green man fell, the green man fell
for consort with unholy shades
the green man fell, the green man fell

in hopes that he may start afresh
the green man fell, the green man fell
his father bound him to his flesh
the green man fell, the green man fell

hidden in his woodland henge
the green man fell, the green man fell
the bitter sprite swore revenge
the green man fell, the green man fell

and there forever he would be
the green man fell, the green man fell
unless some daft soul set him free
the green man fell, the green man fell
