Blight
Derek Duke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And that's all I ever say
Don't have to tell nobody
How their tail ought to lay
Had a sudden revelation
The heights that I've sunken down to
And I don't mind I can't find
My way out of this witch's brew
Livin' for the lizard life
I stumbled on the way around
My own reality
Gettin' right-tightly wound
Past the pale of normality
I like big loungin' every day
On the iguana side of town
The lizard love, it mighty deep
Talkin' way underground
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I be a reptile all day
And it's so fine
Ain't no other way
Like a life minus mind
I prefer reclinin'
Beatin' that conga drum
And waitin' for a three-point landin'
On my sticky tongue
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I'm livin with a lizard life

Waiting for food or something else to come to me
On my sticky tongue
To be consumed or enjoyed
I'm livin with a lizard life
I'm content living a life similar to that of a reptile

the first undead mission, with the sneaking and such. God I loved that vibe
@IMMAOILMAN
I love how all of the Scourge themes have a feeling of building hysteria. Fits perfectly.

"For the spider kingdom.." "I go unseen" "What we do?" "Reaghe!" "The shadows beckon" "Yess" "My patience has ended!" "I must hunt soon" "For the scourge" "Die......." Undead will never die. They are already dead. The scourge shall not fade.
@SOSYML
My fave (which I think I can mimic): "My patience has ended"
@pkmusic7072
OMG this song is so brilliant...

Reminds me of troll music. Especially from the original zul'aman (not the raid). Whenever i looked over that bigstone wall in ghostlands and saw the dark, foreboding trees in the distance, and explored their dark burial grounds, i always felt that this suited it. A dark, unknown, and ancient primal evil. Ready to kill you. I find it easiest to describe as "How The world was before light"
