The Slayer And The Hero - A Gotrek and Felix

owned by GW.


Verse I
I was a poet with an empty purse,
A half-learned blade and a thirst for verse,
When fate slammed shut with a tankard’s roar
And a doom-crowned dwarf kicked in the door.
His crest was red, his oath was dire,
His eyes burned bright with Slayer fire,
I wrote his name so the world would know
No man walks long where Slayers go.

Chorus
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Gotrek and Felix, their tale retold!
Beast Slayer! Dragon Slayer! Daemon Slayer too!
By oath and blood, he fights it through!
Steel and fury, doom and flame,
I bear the words, he bears the pain!
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Till the last ale’s drunk and the story’s told!

Verse II
I’ve seen him stand where armies broke,
Laugh at fear and spit at hope,
When claw and fang and chitin came
He carved his oath in blood and bone and name.
From cavern dark to forest deep,
No beast alive escaped his keep,
They fell like wheat beneath the flail—
Thus Gotrek earned the title Beast Slayer.

Chorus
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Gotrek and Felix, their tale retold!
Beast Slayer! Dragon Slayer! Daemon Slayer too!
By oath and blood, he fights it through!
Steel and fury, doom and flame,
I bear the words, he bears the pain!
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Till the last ale’s drunk and the story’s told!

Verse III
I saw him climb through smoke and ash
As molten stone and fire lashed,
Wings of shadow, a furnace breath,
A crown of flame that promised death.
He roared his shame into the sky,
Let axe and wyrm together fly,
The mountain shook, the heavens quailed—
That day he stood a Dragon Slayer.

Verse IV
When Chaos screamed and hell broke through,
And sane men fled what crawled and grew,
With runes aflame and gods long dead
He charged where daemons feared to tread.
No prayer spared, no mercy sworn,
Axe rang truer than any horn,
In blood and madness, oath and flame,
He carved his fate: Daemon Slayer.

Chorus
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Gotrek and Felix, their tale retold!
Beast Slayer! Dragon Slayer! Daemon Slayer too!
By oath and blood, he fights it through!
Steel and fury, doom and flame,
I bear the words, he bears the pain!
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Till the last ale’s drunk and the story’s told!

Bridge
I’ve begged the gods to let him fall,
To grant the doom he craves above all,
Yet every time death calls his name,
He walks away, unchanged by flame.
And still I follow, ink and blade,
A witness to the debts he’s paid,
For if he dies and none remain,
Who’ll tell the world what cost he paid?

Final Chorus
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Gotrek and Felix, their tale retold!
Beast Slayer! Dragon Slayer! Daemon Slayer too!
By oath and blood, he fights it through!
Steel and fury, doom and flame,
I bear the words, he bears the pain!
Sing of the Slayer and the Hero bold,
Till the world burns out and the tale grows old!

Outro
So drink to the dwarf who won’t lie down,
And curse the man who still survives,
For as long as Gotrek draws his breath,
I’ll sing his doom to keep him alive.
