Everything started with my Roleplaying Character "Peacock the bard" and telling his story in some generated songs. To share them with my dungeonmaster and the other players - I started a youtubechannel. Perhaps some other roleplayer would like the songs, or some ungeonmasters could use them for their campaigns...
Then - my character got "the Devil`s Fiddler" - (there ara songs about how that happened), and some songs got real popular on youtube (from my point of view.. more than 100 people listend to one song).
The next step was the Idea of my Dungeonmaster that Mephistopheles would like to make a Motto Party about undead Pirates.. and the channel "explodet"..
(It was great fun - 97 Followers - and I waited for the magical ONE HUNDRED - then: two followers left.. WHY? Big drama.. )
It was (and is) great fun, to experiment with youtube, and find out, how to feed the almighty algorithm. So I decidet to go another step further, and send (some of) my songs to a distributor.. and feel like a rockstar ;)
Now I even have reached the Youtube Partner Programm (Junior.. with 500 Subs) and Maybe one Day - I reach the magical 1000 ;)

So I hope you enjoy the music here just *like me*,
and I also would enjoy some feedback - If *you like*
about what *you like* , what you dislike, or what *you like* to tell me.

Thanks for listening

Peacock the Bard

Lyrics:
I see the strength in you, a fire soft and strange
A courage that would offer peace, where I would choose to change
To heal where others wound, to lift where others fall—
A daring choice, a fool’s resolve, to answer kindness’s call

But compassion can be costly, love a blade unseen
And mercy leaves its wounds exposed where only darkness leans

An admirable kind of courage, to give instead of take
To shelter even knowing the fragile walls might break
Yet such strength, while fierce, is flawed as well
And you walk a line where angels fell

For every heart you dare to save
You open doors I could invade
An admirable courage, a choice to care
But do you know the risk you bear?

You stand with arms wide open, though shadows close in tight
Bringing light where there’s no sun, risking all in endless night
I watch the way you lift the weak, a dangerous game you play
To heal, to mend, and yet forget the threats that lie in wait

Kindness can be brittle, a weakness I could see
One word, one choice, and mercy could be misery.

An admirable kind of courage, a strength I can admire
Yet built on walls so easily torn by a single spark of fire
You save them all, but for what cost?
In loving them, what strength is lost?

For every hand you reach to hold
The doors of mercy grow too bold
An admirable courage, a lover’s grace
But what if kindness leaves no trace?

You love where others fear to care
Yet kindness blinds, leaves threads laid bare
And I, who see the game you play
Could twist such softness into prey

I could be the shadow that your light invites
A hidden threat that mercy ignites
For all the strength you think love brings
It tempts the cruelty of darker things

So tell me, Khaless, what’s the cost?
For every heart you save, what strength is lost?
Compassion is rare, it’s true and bright—
But is it wise to lead with light?

One kindness given, one tear too close
And I could turn your heart to ghost
For where you care, you leave your shield
An admirable courage, but all too real

An admirable kind of courage, to give yourself away
Yet strength that trusts too much will pay the darkest wage
I see your light, but know its risk
For kindness calls to the abyss

An admirable courage, but will it last?
Or fall when shadows breach at last?
An admirable courage, yes, I agree
But remember, Khaless, you can’t protect from me

So here’s to the strength that loves, that heals
That soft resolve that darkness steals
For in the light you choose to share
I see both strength—and despair
