THIS IS A AN AUTOMATIC CAPTION TEXT from YouTube, so it’s not “perfect”.
My advice is to use it just to help people like me that are not english speaking, to understand the Video/PodcastAll Things Drizzt
WotC: Hey Bob, we have a great idea! We want you to write a lullaby!
Bob: A lullaby????????
WotC: Yeah, a drow lullaby! get creepy.
Bob: A drow lullaby? (My brain isn’t quite processing it yet.)
WotC: Yeah, think about it! We’re doing a video for it and everything.
Bob: Umm…
WotC: Oh, and Benedict Cumberbatch is narrating it…
Bob: You want me to write a drow lullaby for Benedict Cumberbatch?
WootC: Is that a “yes”?
Bob: …
Here it is, friends. If you like Drizzt (or Benedict Cumberbatch, I guess), this might be the coolest thing you see today.sleep
quiet my child my little drow
your dreams invites tranquility now
cast in this cavern stone walls
so secure the web
holds you tight through under dark night
and guardian spiders that tickle you
feel with gossamer threat
weave our goddesses seal
the spider queen’s children and so too
your kin
are here to remind you that you shall
not
sin they show you the scourge
the snake-headed whip they bite
and they tear until she
hears your prayer
[Music]
there is no such blessing to the damned
up above those who’ve forsaken the
spider queen’s love
in their way lies weakness and unceasing
waste and if you would join them
then so be debased
and when hellfire orb looks down on your
shame
your soul is burned bare she knows
you’re to blame
you’ll live ever running you’ve no place
to hide
and huddled in fear for there is no
disguise
the sun it will burn you
the cold snow will freeze
the hopelessness tumbles you down to
your knees
and when you are broken to her
you will pray but she will not hear you
you’ve thrown her away
[Music]
and you’ll find no companions to stand
in our way
when we hunt you and fight you and
torment the plane
you’ve chosen the weaklings of the world
up above
who speak empty words and know not lost
love
no love will not save you from human
deceit
nor from bearded dwarves nor elvish
conceit
the spider queen shows us the one single
way
there is only the night there is never
the day
for strength does not stretch through
branch or through leaf
it bleeds from the roots that secure
us beneath deep in our hearts
wrapped tight in loth’s web with
venom we sting her glory
we sing so whisper your love
of your matron your mother who teaches
the way to your sisters
and brother brother i say there can only
be one
for if there were two there couldn’t be
you
then that silken swaddle that tickling
wreath
would instead be your death by the
spider queen’s teeth
[Music]
sleep sound in the darkness
or burn in the light alone
you

Not enough use of the word “penguin” for Cumberface to pronounce. https://t.co/u2n4Gb58Me
