Gold Grim's Gambit

[Verse 1]
While others dug where the dark runs deep,
He learned his craft where the merchants creep.
With a gambler’s grin and a glint in his eye,
He’d risk his soul ‘neath an open sky.
(Chorus)
Oh-ho, Gold Grim walks the sea,
A coin for luck and a blade kept free.
Cross his path, best play it wise—
Or wager your fate ‘neath emerald eyes.
(Verse 2)
A ring on his finger and nothing to lose,
He played Dragon’s Dice ‘gainst a lord with a ruse.
With a daring hand and a fortune’s grace,
He claimed a ship in that fateful place.
The Gilded Promise, with ironwood bones,
Sailed under his flag through the ocean’s stones.
He gathered the lost and the sharp of mind—
A crew of rogues no law could bind.
(Chorus)
Oh-ho, Gold Grim walks the sea,
A coin for luck and a blade kept free.
Take his wager, best heed his game—
Or lose more than gold when he calls your name.
(Verse 3)
In the Blackveil’s heart where no light gleams,
Where miners are lost to their cursed dreams,
He found an ore with a magic shine—
A treasure locked in the mountain’s spine.
With alchemists’ craft and an iron will,
He bent the dark to the forge’s skill.
Where others failed, he made his claim—
And kingdoms trembled at Gold Grim’s name.
(Chorus)
Oh-ho, Gold Grim walks the sea,
A coin for luck and a blade kept free.
If you seek his gold, beware the price—
For no man wins ‘gainst his loaded dice.
(Bridge)
They sent their thieves and the pirate horde,
But traps lay waiting where greed explored.
With clockwork claws and a ghostly crew,
He turned each foe to a tale untrue.
(Final Chorus)
Oh-ho, Gold Grim walks the sea,
A coin for luck and a blade kept free.
Should he call, best turn and run—
For no one cheats the mountain’s son.
(Outro – Spoken, low and foreboding)
So if a dwarf with emerald eyes,
Offers a game 'neath starlit skies…
Be sure of your soul— You'll know strife.
For Gold Grim now wins your very life.
