I Tried to Heal You, You Idiots

V5

Verse 1 I woke up hungover in a roadside shrine, Holy symbol stuck to me with dried-up grime Said a prayer, choked back bile, cracked my neck Thought, “Today’s the day nobody dies, what the hell.” Five minutes later the rogue’s on fire Mage is screaming ‘cause her spell went sideways Warrior charged in yelling “FOR GLORY, BITCH” And I’m already bleeding on my nice clean kit Pre-Chorus I said “WAIT—” They did not wait I said “PLAN—” They heard “FATE” Chorus I tried to heal you, you idiots, I swear I ran outta spells and I ran outta prayers Blood on the floor and guts in the ale If there’s a god watching—she’s laughing as hell I tried to heal you, I really did try But you can’t fix stupid with divine supply So raise your mugs if you’re still alive ‘Cause tomorrow I’m drinking instead of divine Verse 2 Goblin cave smelled like piss and regret Warrior slipped in something warm—won’t forget Mage yelled “I’ve got this!” then blew up a wall Now we’re buried in rubble and goblin balls Rogue stole a crown mid-sacrificial rite Triggered every trap in a ten-mile site I’m screaming “STOP TOUCHING THE FUCKING ALTAR” While reattaching someone’s arm a bit farther Pre-Chorus Channel faith Hands are shaking This isn’t healing It’s triage praying Chorus I tried to heal you, you idiots, I swear Now there’s teeth in my hair and blood everywhere Holy light mixed with viscera spray Pretty sure that’s a sin but it worked okay I tried to heal you, I screamed and I cried My goddess facepalmed from the goddamn sky So drink it down if you’re still alive ‘Cause tomorrow I’m tanking with wine, not divine Bridge (spoken/shouted, crowd call-and-response) “CLERIC!” —WHAT?! “WE’RE DYING!” —AGAIN?! “DO SOMETHING!” —I FUCKING AM I’m outta spells Outta grace Outta patience Outta faith Fuck it. Final Chorus (faster, louder) I tried to heal you, you feral mistakes Dragged your asses back from the afterlife gates If heaven’s real, we’re banned on sight But we lived through hell and that counts tonight I tried to heal you, so drink with me To bad ideas and blasphemy If the gods are mad, they can smite me dead But I’m charging extra for resurrection spells
