Zhin's Sermon

Lyrics

I used to have problems

Thinking the world would never go my way

Then I found the answer

The Light led me out of night into day


The world is not just give and take

There’s a cycle to everything upon it

Nothing is trash

The Light can create and can destroy 

We are just a piece of a greater picture

Nothing is wasted


And if you believe, then you can be free


I’ve come here just to show you the Light

And how it’s so much better than everything, ever

The Light is warm in a world full of night

And it’s the thing that got me through

And you should be its servant too


Take me for instance

A simple lizard come from a far off land

Now I have a purpose

Sharing the Light amongst the Caravan


The world is not just give and take

There’s a cycle to everything upon it

Nothing is trash

The Light can create and can destroy 

We are just a piece of a greater picture

Nothing is wasted


And if you believe, then you can be free


I’ve come here just to show you the Light

And how it’s so much better than everything, ever

The Light is warm in a world full of night

And it’s the thing that got me through

And you should be its servant too


The Story

Zhin is a player character in the Caravan campaign that the Songs of the Caravan album is all about. He's a lizardfolk cleric that worships "the light", in all of its glory. He's preachy in a funny sort of way, believing wholeheartedly in its tenets of power, warmth, destruction, and renewal. Especially that last part, as he would eat a lot of things that most people would toss out in the trash. And dead humanoids. He kind of ate everything actually.
