Composed in homage to the Dungeons and Randomness Podcast ([ Ссылка ]) .

Theria is a rough place. But some of the people who have it worst are the Tieflings. Cursed with infernal blood from some ages old sin they walk the world as monsters. Some try to break free of their wicked heritage and some revel in it.

This song was inspired by the two prominent Tieflings characters on the show, Malchus and Diana, as well as a brief passage from the 2nd Edition Planeswalker Handbook. Within that book is a small exceprt from a poem they call "The Tieflings Lament". The poem reads thusly:

"I've no home
No place to call kip
I've no family, no birthright, no kin
I am I
Nothing more"

*Kip means home in the planar cant*

I used that poem as the basis for this song and expanded it from there. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
You can’t know the pain that my cursed heart endures
As it cries out the Tiefling’s Lament.
The whispers of hatred follow me along
As I wonder the world alone!
No birthright or kin, I’ve no place to call home
For my infernal skin marks my devilish soul.
For better or worse I know one thing for sure
That I am what I am nothing more.

But not all is bleak in my ill-fated lot
I have freedom and I have life.
I go where I may and my will is my own
I live, and for that I should sing!
Yet in spite of these facts
I can’t help but feel bound
By the fear and the hatred that my skin produces.

You can’t know the pain that my cursed heart endures
As it screams out the tielfings lament.
No love I have known only darkness and ash
I will die as I lived, all alone!
One question I ask, at the end of it all
Is there Heaven for a creature so tainted and lost?
For better or worse I know one thing for sure
That I am what I am nothing more.
I am what I am nothing more.
