The River King's Deal (Tahm Kench)

Mmm, hunger's a mighty fine affliction

Mmm, met a man down by the bayou

Said his luck had turned to ash

I smiled wide and tipped my hat

Said, boy, I can fix that fast

Just a favor for a favorite friend

A meal that never ends

Come dine with the river king

Taste the sin and hear me sing

I'll give you gold, I'll give you mine

But the bill comes due tonight

He signed his name with a trembling hand

I shook it firm and smiled grand

Now he sleeps down in the mud

The price of power paid in blood

Every hunger has its cost

I'll feed on all that's lost

Come dine with the river king

Taste the sin and hear me sing

I'll give you gold, I'll give you mine

But the bill comes due tonight

Oh, I've dined with dupes and thieves

alike their glee's the sweetest bite

The rifts a feast of desperate hearts

And I eat till it feels right

Come dine with the river king

Your soul's my favorite thing

From bayou dark to ocean wide

You can run but you can't hide

Delicious

Mmm

Delicious
