Zhin's Sermon
Lyrics
I used to have problems
Thinking the world would never go my way
Now I have 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
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
Oh 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
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
Oh you should be its servant too
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
Oh you should be its servant too
No, woah
Yea you should be
Yea 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.
A peculiar lizardfolk, Zhin is a cleric of the light - and he believes that the light is all encompassing. It is birth, it is healing, it is death, and it is destruction. Believing in the light made Zhin's life have purpose, and he wished to spread the light to everyone. Given the Caravan's power and purpose, he believed that the light lead him to them, and wanted him to help their cause.
