lyrics

As you delve into the dungeons deep
keep your eyes and senses peeled, stealthily you creep
perhaps you'll catch the dark fiends unaware

Or perhaps you simply clank on through the place
in heavy plate you kick down doors, get right into their face
intending to intimidate and scare

In either case, when encounters loom,
whether you sneak or stomp, or dance gracefully into the room
rules insist one step before the violence flares....

roll initiative! let 'em fly
find out if you're slow or spry
hope you get your licks in quick
before your rogue gets devoured by a grick

Roll initiative! toss the dice
roll it high, or pay the price
bonus actions don't mean a lot
when dragon breath melts you in one shot

Roll initiative! take your shot
hope and pray your streak is hot
in the dieties of fate we trust
or that monster turns your sword to rust

Roll initiative! stand strong and firm
the early bird surely gets the worm
have confidence that the stars align
or that purple squid guy will flay your mind

Roll initiative! risk it all
icosahedrons know if you stand or fall
get that magic missle cast off first
or prepare to fall to that lich's curse

Roll initiative! swing your sword
slay the foe, grab that treasure horde
quickly set the minion swarm ablaze
or end up sizzling in the beholder's gaze

Roll initiative! take your shot
hope and pray your streak is hot
in the dieties of fate we trust
or that monster turns your sword to rust

Roll initiative, play to win!
Drop your foe or take it on the chin
Trust the dice to tell the story
Go down in flames or bask in glory

Go down….or bask in glory!
