I Guard This Door | A Kobold's Proudest Song (Lyrics Video)

#DnDMusic #TavernMusic #BardSong In the flickering lamplight of a tavern doorway, the smallest guard in the realm squares her shoulders and calls out to a room twice her height. This upbeat D&D bard song follows a kobold girl who talked her way into the toughest job at the inn — and made it hers. It's a medieval tavern song about a first job, first pride, and the regulars who learned to respect two feet of scale standing between them and trouble. For every fantasy folk ballad fan who's ever rooted for the underdog behind the bar. "Halt! Who goes there?" she calls, chin held high over a stool two sizes too tall. They laughed when she applied. They don't laugh anymore. Two feet of scale, and the whole tavern rests easy behind her. — Songs of a Bard 🎲 The Bard's Wares Gear I'd stake my lute on, traveler: ◦ ⚔️ The greatest D&D adventure on screen → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBRB73GD?... ◦ 🐉 Your first adventure starts here → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V84WNPK?... ◦ 🎲 Dice that roll like destiny → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F817H27?... ◦ 📖 The adventurer's tome → https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786969822?...

They laughed at my application, said the spear was twice my height, But the tavern keeper knelt down, said "You'll do just fine tonight." So I dragged a stool to stand on, pinned the badge above my heart, Half the size of every trouble, twice as ready for the part. Badge above the heart, boots apart, chin up, count them in — one for every trouble that has ever tried to walk right in. I guard this door! (She guards the door!) Two feet of scale and nothing more! So wipe your boots and read the sign, This little kobold holds the line! The regulars step over me, they scratch between my horns, A minotaur mistook me for a barstool Tuesday morn. I bit the bard for singing flat — alright, that one's on me — But nothing crosses through this door my yellow eyes can't see. I guard this door! (She guards the door!) Two feet of scale and nothing more! So wipe your boots and read the sign, This little kobold holds the line! I have memorized the boot-prints of the forty who belong, I can name you by your footsteps if the lantern light goes wrong. Second stool is for the widow who arrives when it gets late, and I hold the door a heartbeat longer so she doesn't have to wait. Then one night real trouble came, all teeth and stolen steel, A tiny voice rang out so loud it made the rafters reel: "Not through my door!" — and at my back the whole room rose up tall. I came to guard a single door... they handed me the hall. There's a ledger by the doorframe and I've filled it front to back, every name that ever wronged us and the night they got the sack. The keeper says I'm thorough. The keeper says I'm small. The keeper says he sleeps now, and that's the best of all. We guard this door! (She guards the door!) Two feet of scale and something more! So raise your mugs one final time, Our little kobold holds the line! We guard this door! (She guards the door!) Two feet of scale and something more! So wipe your boots and read the sign, Our little kobold holds the line! Same time tomorrow, wipe your boots... The stool is getting shorter, or I'm getting rather tall. And no, you still can't pet the horns. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Songs of a Bard is a fireside corner of the fantasy world, where original bard songs and clever folk tales bring adventurers together — one song, one mug at a time.
