The Puppetshades Lyrics by Paul Shapera

The Puppetshade Chronicles 1: The Black Beyond

2024

Narrator:
History’s the tale of a drunk, one-eyed spacer
Gamblin and fighting cross stars on their way
And their ends never nice, vomit, blood, and some spice
Til their offspring sets out just to do it again
No one knows just where the Puppetshades came from
Twas after the Doran was blown up to hell
There’s Oki and Skyler, Dottie, Cindilou, Piper
And slowly they’re now coming into our tale
Round now we go as the stars come a waltzin’
And histories lurch tween refined and profane
Drink to the spacеr, the last starlight chaser
Attend now thе tale of the Puppetshades
Necromancy is the Rhazzis religion
Some say they might come from a whole different strand
They came one day fleeing forgot how to leave and
Now they are stuck in this strange, cosmic land
The Rhazzis they channel the lower dimensions
One day they were summoning something but then
Oki loves games and appeared and pretended
That he was the demon that they’d summoned
Round now we go as the stars come a waltzin’
And histories lurch tween refined and profane
Drink to the spacer, the last starlight chaser
Attend now the tale of the Puppetshades
Now Oki’s revered but he’s also distrusted
He lives with the Rhazzis, plays politics and
Magic Skyler, he wanders, this day travels yonder
To visit there Oki in his dark temple grand
Their names Stringless Oki, their names Magic Skyler
Their names Paisley Piper and Ragged Cindilou
And Decadent Dottie but their lucks been quite spotty
They say one is dead, one is lost, gone askew
But times is a thumping, too much lore a dumpin’
So rude of us to make our story here wait
Magic Skyler is sneaking to have him a meeting
With Oki to speak of their plans and their games
Round now we go as the stars come a waltzin’
And histories lurch tween refined and profane
Drink to the spacer, the last starlight chaser
Attend now the tale of the Puppetshades
