This is probably my magnum opus. But it wouldn't be nearly as great without the incredibly talented animator Rebecca Snowden (@rebexquest), they brought these adorable kobolds to life in a way I could have only dreamed of. Find their links below!

Lyrics:

Late one night before the tavernkeeper shut his door
A wobbly gentleman came in, his footing was unsure
Moustachioed and handsome, and his clothing touched the floor
He was no man at all, he was three kobolds in a trench coat

One’s on the bottom, strong is he
Two’s in the middle, carrying Three
Three’s pretending not to be three kobolds in a trench coat

One day when a maiden was out on her nightly stroll
She got lost in the forest and was set on by a gnoll
When in there stepped a gentleman, moustachioed and tall
He was no help at all cause he’s three kobolds in a trench coat

(Chorus)

Once there was a king who was a scourge upon his land
The citizens all wished him dead, his rule they couldn’t stand
One day he just fell dead on the pavement by no hand
He happened to have died next to three kobolds in a trench coat

(Chorus)

The people of the kingdom, the man’s praises they did sing
Believing that he was the one who slew their awful king
Put on his head a crown, and to the throne they did him bring
But little did they know he was three kobolds in a trench coat

(Chorus)

It didn’t take them long to hate their brand new overlord
He butchered up the tax code and put rebels to the sword
From out of his own kingdom he was driven by the horde
The economy had been ruined by three kobolds in a trench coat

(Chorus)
One! Two! Three!
Three kobolds in a trench coat

And if you’re wondering how I sing three part harmony
When I am just one man without another to be seen
I’m sure the most observant of you already have gleaned
That I am not a man, I am three kobolds in a trench coat

One’s on the bottom, fiddling free
Two’s in the middle keeping the beat
I’m pretending not to be three kobolds in a trench coat

We’re pretending not to be three kobolds in a trench coat

Lyrics:

I just sang some song about slaying a dragon
I’ve ne’er before actually seen.
The audience cheers and they tip by the flagon
of precious, mind-blackening mead.
A child approaches, eyes glossy and gleaming;
he smiles when he looks up me.
He says, “I know some tunes on my grandfather’s lute,
and one day I’ll be just like thee.”

“Sing us a song, dear bard! Weave us a tale!
Tell us how good people always prevail!
Play us a ditty, we’ll pay from the tap,
and after, you’ll feast from our scraps!”

Tell you the truth, kid, the story’s a lie;
ten fools fight a dragon, and nine of them die.
. . . Plus one
The world is a death trap that no one survives
and bards are the lowest alive.
I sing out my heart to the clamoring crowd
night after night, but the quiet gets louder and louder.
I once was so joyous and proud,
and now I sleep under the clouds

We bards are all beggars, the rest of us thieves,
for we are the waste that society leaves.
Our lungs full of song, and our bellies of air,
but kid, that’s just life – it ain’t fair.

The child runs off crying and leaves me alone;
I gulp down the rest of my mead.
The patrons all gawk and they scoff and they groan,
but I bite every hand that don’t feed.
Take it from me, folks, if you want to fester
and rot with the rest on the street,
then pick up a lyre with the liars and jesters.
We’ll sing some more songs we can’t eat.

Lyrics:

Still I feel the butterflies
See a hunger in your eyes
When you look at me
You’ve had a taste of my flesh
And now you want the rest
Take it from me

Cause the world needs more of you and less of me
I’ll stand my ground and pray you end me swiftly
And as I lie bleeding, hold me in your arms like you did before
Pretend in love is all we ever were

I was a moth to your light
At the time, it felt so right
How naive of me
There was venom on your tongue
I was blind, and we were young
And now I’m empty

I’ll take from you just like you took from me
This air’s too thin for both of us to breathe
As you lie bleeding on the battleground of this brutal war
I’ll pretend that I don’t love you anymore

Once upon a time, you were nearly mine
Sun and moon, fire and coal
Love’s a give and take
Bloody hands that shake
Sworn in body, mind, and soul

The world is so much darker without you
I hold you in my arms like I used to
And as my tears fall down onto your lips
It all seems so amiss
I’ll send you to your grave with one last kiss
Mmm

The sequel to Blacksmith, Blacksmith . . .

The soul of a long-dead hero inhabits a rusted suit of armor to guard the legendary blade that earned him his title, a curse of greed tethering him to the land of the living. Two blacksmith brothers stumble across the ancient king in his ruined castle ages after his death, and the events that ensue lay the old hero to rest once and for all. To defeat the blade crafted by the ancient smith, a new weapon must be forged by a smith of equal caliber . . .

A huge thanks to the blacksmiths at Oldfield Forge who inspired Blacksmith, Blacksmith and made this project possible! Find them at oldfieldforge.co.uk, and check out the behind the scenes of filming this music video on their channel: youtube.com/watch?v=35dDxSBXJgw

Lyrics:

Heroes die and the world goes on
They keep on singing the same damn songs
‘Bout who I was
Death defied, I place my trust
In age old steel and age old rust
My resting plate

Gods protect any man who tries to claim
The blade that made my name
(x2)

Once so regal, strong and tall
But kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
And so do men
To once have worn that gilded crown
My legend told in every town
Then brought so low

Gods protect any man who tries to claim
The blade that made my name
(x2)

When my bones are naught but dust
Know that I was right and just
The cursed blade of glory lust
Binds me now to steel and rust
Blacksmith, blacksmith, feed your rage
Lead the world to a new age
Forge a weapon night and day
To send me to my resting place
(x2)

Find me a place among my brethren,
The pines, the beasts, the frost
I cannot stay where nature’s embrace
Is lost
Find me where Cernunnos makes his revelry
Mmm
Where the Horned One sleeps

Down by riverside resting
No one but me
Mmmm
Leave behind your troubles and your worries
Set your soul on fire and dance among the trees
Find me where Cernunnos makes his revelry
Oooh
Where the Horned One sleeps

Deep in woodlands running
No one but me
Oh

Wake up wreathed in ivy
Bathed in the light of the moon
Through the canopy I see
The light of the stars shining through

Down by shoreside singing
No one but me
Oh

Find me where Cernunnos makes his revelry
Oooh
Where the Horned One sleeps

Lyrics:

Killers, thieves, thick of skin
Till your ruthless trial begins
Let the judge’s words sink in
A lifetime on the Isle of Sin

(Vocalizations)
Welcome to the Isle of Sin

Jagged rock, sea slick caves
No way out but the ten foot waves
You’ll cry out to be saved
No reprieve for the criminal slave

(Vocalizations)
Welcome to the Isle of Sin

Cursed stone, blessed ore
Swing your pick till you hit the floor
Break your filthy backs some more
Until you strike the mithral score

(Vocalizations)
Welcome to the Isle of Sin

With your life, pay your dues
Work or die, it’s yours to choose
You’ve got nothing left to lose
The sharks await should you refuse

That empty look behind your eyes
No soul of a man left there to find
No hope within these iron tides
You’ll work these mines till the day you die

Welcome to the Isle of Sin

Welcome to the Isle of Sin

Lyrics:

Blacksmith, blacksmith, forge me a blade
Of the strongest steel
That when I strike my enemies
Their wounds may never heal

Blacksmith, blacksmith, of your blade
Legends there shall rise
For the blade that you will forge for me
Will deliver us from the night
The night

Strike, turn, hammer and burn
The bellows teach and the fires learn
Iron, oil, temper and toil,
The forge ain’t hot if your blood don’t boil

Blacksmith, blacksmith, forge me a blade
To slay that evil heel
A sword that gleams like diamonds
That can make the darkness kneel

(Chorus)

Hear that anvil ring
Echo song of the hammer swing
Shape, grind, polish and shine
The world ain’t ready for a work so fine

Blacksmith, blacksmith, forge me a blade
For to purge the blight
Which creeps upon this world we love
To take from us the light

(Chorus)

Lyrics:
Eternity’s a gift, they say
To never cross the veil
This life I try to savor
And I try to no avail
Curse that mortal brevity
Which has rent you from my arms
Curse this cold eternity
Without you to keep me warm

Your never-ending elegy
Is a ballad with no melody
As empty as I, now you’ve passed me by
A blessing? No, a malady

Why do roses bloom in spring
Only to wither and die?
You were all that was good in me
Now back to darkness go I
Take with you my sanity
Better madness than the pain of my want
All my effort is vanity
And I hear the raven’s taunt

Your never-ending elegy
Is a ballad with no melody
As empty as I, now you’ve passed me by
A blessing? No, a malady
My eternal malady

The Winding Road (D&D Bard Song)

Chase Noseworthy | The Bardic Hearth 2024-04-29 | As the end of my Vox Machina song series draws near, I aim to shift my content from solely CR inspired music to more broadly fantasy and D&D inspired music. This song is the first step in that endeavor! My aim is to post one of these bard songs per week – you can keep up with my new songs and updates via my TikTok account (below). Thank you for the support in this change, it's been a long time coming and it's the first step into a new phase of my career :)

Lyrics:
I’ve made a home of the winding road
Traded my living for a wanderer’s woes
Feet on the earth, head in the clouds
I walk the world alone

Long have I traveled across these lands
Long is the journey that never ends

Back home, there are farmers and blacksmiths galore
But out in the world I can be so much more
I’ve met mages and fey, I’ve met soldiers at war
And set eyes upon distant shores

Long have I traveled across these lands
Long is the journey that never ends

Some say that I’m foolish, some say that I’m bold
To brave the dark forests, wild beasts, and the cold
But I choose to roam in ruins of old
And sing of their stories untold

Long have I traveled across these lands
Long is the journey that never ends
My journey shall never end

Lyrics:

When I die, gild my bones
Wrap me in a silken shroud
Bury me with all the gold in the treasuries of men
Do you recall the way they’d sneer?
The way they’d mock our better blood?
Brother I can still remember all the words our father said and didn’t say

If I were worth my weight in gold
Perhaps someone would see me
If I lived in a castle
Would the world then care to meet me?
Fill my coffers high with lies
And let a girl pretend
That she’s more than her elegance belies

Wealth of riches, wealth of name
I have it all, and yet I’m still the same
But wealth of family, wealth of lover, wealth of brother keeps me warm
Queen of Ravens lays me down
Her mask as fragile as my own
Open eyed, I see my brother who has never left my side
A sacrifice

I would give up all my gold for one more day to tease you
I would burn my castle down for one more chance to see you
Fill my heart as you once did when it was us against the world

Voice of the Tempest (Vox Machina Fan Song)

Lyrics:

I was born in the mountains where the earth courts the wind
The clouds standing sentry over all of my kin
Poor mother left me and my father alone
She left me to lead them when I am grown

I make like the wind and I travel the earth
One day to return to the place of my birth
Return as a master of water and flame
The valleys to know me, and the wind speak my name

The colors of Autumn cascade down his back
I’ve such little time to attain what I lack
The courage and grace that’s required of me
How grand, these illusions of what I can be

For I am young
I am weak
I am unworthy of the faith they place in me
Voice as meek and frail as a zephyr

I’ve seen through the eyes of the wolf and the lark
I’ve faced mighty dragons and friends of the dark
I’ve conquered the trials of earth, fire, and sea
And yet I am blind to the woman they see

They tell me I’m worthy, they tell me I’m strong
In spite of my failings they keep me along
They sing me my praises and swear that they’re true
And say that they’ll sing them till I learn the tune

So I’ll be bold
I’ll be strong
I’ll be the leader my home can rely upon
Help me find my voice, o' tempest

I am the waters and I am the flame
I am the thunder and I am the rain
Heed me o' forest, and heed me o' plains
Heed my call

Fear is a river, but I’m in control
Doubt is a current that ebbs and flows
Fierce as the hail and as gentle as snow

Oh, can you hear it?
The Voice of the Tempest

Born to be a Killer (Vox Machina Fan Song)

Chase Noseworthy | The Bardic Hearth 2023-10-31 | It's been a whiiiiile

Lyrics:

“You were born to be a killer,”
Says the giant in my blood
“The blade is your salvation,
Leavin’ bodies in the mud.”

“There ain’t need for no redemption.
Sheddin’ tears is for the small.
Let the little ones scream and shout
And beg for mercy as they fall.”

What do you do
When they look at you
Paralyzed by the fire in your eyes?
What do I do
When I was born to be a killer?

“You were born to be a killer”
Says the vilest of my kin
“Mercy ain’t our language
We wage war, and fight to win”

“It’s the duty of a Herdsman
To kill or die in shame
Never choose to spare one
We could use to feed our flames”

(Repeat Chorus)

Hard man with a heart that’s harder
A herdsman don’t need no honor
A man’s only as good as his armor
Don’t drop your sword
In battle we find our freedom
No emotions, we don’t need ‘em
The weak live to meet our steel
And feed our rage

I was born to be a killer
So a killer I shall be
I will stand between the lion
And the fawn that it would eat
I’m reborn as a protector
Of the little and the weak
In my love my strength is tempered
On the wicked my blade will feed

Lyrics:

Said the pup to the butchers, “I will return
In a fiery deliverance I’ll make you burn.
A gun in my hand, a mask in the other,
Can’t wait to do to you what you did to my mother.
Made deals with a demon, hungry for a meal –
Some souls to devour, I hope you can feel
The flames as a spirit while your body still smolders
Said the pup to the butchers when a pup grows older
It becomes a hound

It becomes a hound

On trial for your sins at Court of Gunsmoke
My gun is the gavel, and jury has spoken
Guilty as charged, sentenced to look in the eye
Of the monster you made when you die
Long have I waited, long have I planned
This day has been fated and now it’s at at hand
“Look how the pup has grown,” one said to the other
Said the pup to the butchers, “When a pup grows older,
It becomes a hound.”

It becomes a hound

Your names engraved in steel
I’ll show you how it feels
When this pup becomes a hound

It becomes a hound (repeated)

Lyrics:

I remember the time
The days long ago
Before the cold set in
And the rivers still flowed

When we would sing
By the warm fire light
No fear of the frost
Nor a fear of the ice

When Bitingcold ruled
Before their kin driven mad
The Age of Desolation

Our protectors our warriors
Our shields our pride
Our strength never bending
With them by our side

Now we have but one goal
One thing which to strive
Only one goal is at hand
And that is to survive

Lying deep in the desert
Where reptiles run
She flies over head
Silhouetted in sun

Shifting the sands
Bright blue in the night
She’ll rise up again
Hallowed in the moonlight

Now Thunderclaps loose
There’s no where to hide
Her thunder and lightening
Rain fire from the sky

Our protectors our warriors
Our shields no more
The Age of Desolation
An epoch of war

Now we have but one goal
One thing which to strive
Only one goal is at hand
And that is to survive

Powerful, brazen
Old Toroshivar
The first Lord of Dragons
His mind driven far

With Shardscale to blame
For all to behold
What once was our home
Is now dead, fire, and cold

Survive if you can
The realms of our land
Survive this Age of Desolation

We have but one goal
One thing which to strive
Only one goal is at hand
And that is to survive

We have but one goal
One thing which to strive
Only one goal is at hand
And that is to survive

The Man Who Cant Forget (Thoms Song from the Wheel of Time) – Cover

Chase Noseworthy | The Bardic Hearth 2021-11-20 | As soon as I heard this song in the show I knew I had to cover it. I'm a huge fan of Thom in the books already, but I think he might be my favorite character in the show so far for obvious reasons.

Hades Medley – Cover by Chase Noseworthy

Chase Noseworthy | The Bardic Hearth 2021-11-17 | Hades has become one of my favorite games of all time, and a massive part of the credit goes to the composer and sound designer for Supergiant Games, Darren Korb. His scores have been an incredible inspiration to me, and I couldn't help but mash together a few of the songs from Hades to attempt to pay them homage – those songs being Lament of Orpheus, Good Riddance, and In The Blood. I hope you enjoy!

(Note: I'm going to start venturing into the cover song realm going forward rather than solely doing CR/D&D stuff, but don't worry, it's not going away entirely. I just need to diversify a little bit :) )

Life of the Mercenary (D&D Folk Song)

Chase Noseworthy | The Bardic Hearth 2021-10-31 | This is still part of my Exandrian Folk Song series, but since I also wrote this one to work for really any fantasy/medieval setting, I named it "D&D Folk Song" instead. I imagine this as a song a bard would play in a tavern if a band of mercenaries or an adventuring party were staying for the night to play to the crowd.

Waldhexe - feat. Ginny Di (Exandrian Folk Song)

Chase Noseworthy | The Bardic Hearth 2021-09-29 | I can't thank Ginny enough for lending me her voice on this song, it made it SO much better than it would have been otherwise. Go check out her channel! (though I'm pretty sure if you follow me you already know who Ginny is, but I'm saying it anyway)

Lyrics:

Mothers and fathers
Gather your children near
For shadows lurk in the woods of the Zemni Fields
Eins, zwei, drei
Three children go walking at night
Left behind the light
That guards them from the creatures of the night

Waldhexe
Blood and bone she feasts upon
Waldhexe
Spare us from your claws

Whispers of hunger
Out crawls a wretched sight
Witch, oh Grossmutter
Looks for a feast this night
Eins, zwei, drei
Three children upon which to dine
The first, her eyes
The second, his mind
And the third, his heart, to love forever blind

Waldhexe
Blood and bone she feasts upon
Waldhexe
Spare us from your
Spare us from your
Spare us from your claws
