[Verse 1] They ask me "Were you really heroes, dear?" I laugh and say "Let me make it clear" We saved the tieflings from the goblin raid (I poisoned their wine, watched half of them fade) Drow and duegar fell beneath our feet Mass graves and ashes, isn't that sweet? ... Oh, you look pale, is something wrong? These are just DETAILS of my hero's song! [Pre-Chorus] Seven hundred thirty-four names in my book Every death recorded, every life I took But when they question if I went too far I laugh and say "Details" under the stars [Chorus] Welcome to Nemi's scary tales! Where heroes kill and mercy fails "Wasn't that cruel?" you dare to ask I'll wear your horror like a mask DETAILS, DETAILS, that's all they are! We saved the world, I'm still a star Blood on my hands and a laugh in my throat Welcome to Nemi's scary tale—take note! [Verse 2] Found a good boy, the bestest pup (He brought back severed limbs and ate them up) Halsin fell to Orin on a bloody altar stone I caved her skull in, made that temple my own Sister against sister in Bhaal's sacred ground The best fight of my life, such a beautiful sound Sold an angel into slavery for gold and science too Nightsong screaming while I counted revenue "But you're a hero!" they all say with shining eyes They don't know the truth beneath the pretty lies [Pre-Chorus] Gith temple burned, not one survived Young ones too—they wouldn't stay alive An egg in the chamber, the final one Stepped on it, squished it—now we're done! [Chorus] Welcome to Nemi's scary tales! Where heroes kill and mercy fails "Wasn't that cruel?" you dare to ask I'll wear your horror like a mask DETAILS, DETAILS, that's all they are! We saved the world, I'm still a star Drip-drip-drip goes the blood like rain Welcome to Nemi's scary tale—embrace the pain! [Bridge - Spoken Word/Rap with Electronic Distortion] Marcus asks me "Where's the heroism here?" I tell him every story that he fears to hear He turns green (metaphorically, we're dead) While I just laugh at everything I've said "You see, the thing about being a monster..." [heavy electronic distortion] "...is that I've never pretended to be anything else" [heavy electronic distortion] "And these are just the stories of the hero you never had!" [industrial bass drop] [Final Chorus - Intensified] Welcome to Nemi's scary tales! Where morals bend and conscience pales "Shouldn't you feel shame?" they plead I'm Bhaal's daughter—it's in my greed DETAILS, DETAILS, not important, see? We saved Faerûn from catastrophe! Three souls I love—the rest can burn Welcome to Nemi's scary tale—YOUR TURN! [Outro - Whispered] Darnis, Shadowheart, Astarion mine The only three souls I won't put on the line For them I died, for them I'd kill again Welcome to my tale... will you be my friend?
