[Intro]
Dm
Gather round everyone!
  Dm
I have a story to tell
  Dm
Unfortunately for our protagonist
         Dm
This one doesn’t go so well
    Dm
You may have never heard of him
         Dm
But he’s one of legend and myth
  Dm
A mortal born from the dirt beneath
        Em     E        Am
When he rose amoung the rest
N.C.
But first, let me recap:

[Verse 1]
Dm
Tucked under the canopy
       Dm
Of the mystical grand tree
  Dm
A province of oddish populace
           Dm
There were forest gnomes you see
Dm
Though mistold as the happy kind
             Dm
They're were too involved with the world
Dm
Each clan a master of their craft
    Em          E     Am
And fought when war unfurled
   Dm
An army found their home
    Dm
And burned it all to the ground
    Dm
The fire and flames quickly spread
N.C.
Until their wasn’t a sound
    Dm
The morning after came rain
  Dm
Accompanied with tears
    Dm
For there was only one survivor
  Em    Em      E E Am
A child named Sicarius

[Chorus]
    C               Dm
And thus begins our tale
       Em                   Am
Of the legend that started this
  C           Dm
A rogue of Manibus
  G     G     Em E Am
A gnome named Sicarius

[Verse 2]
  Dm
A pair of boots approached
    Dm
And Sicarius ran to hide
      Dm
Armed with a dagger he had found
    N.C.
The gnome crouched there in silence
  Dm
A second blade unveiled
   Dm
To stop the child from running
      Dm
Realization struck a hand outstretched
    Em           E       Am
The Order of the Setting Sun
   Dm
”I apologize” the rogue spoke
    Dm
”It appears I was too late”
          Dm
”I was supposed to warn the elders”
    Dm
”My mission had me delayed”
  Dm
Sicarius filled with rage
      Dm
White knuckled the blade he held
    Dm
The rogue took the gnome on horseback
       Em Em E     E   Am
With a heavy heart and sorrow

[Chorus]
    C              Dm
And thus begins our tale
       Em                   Am
Of the legend that started this
  C           Dm
A rogue of Manibus
  G     G     Em E Am
A gnome named Sicarius

[Verse 3]
Dm
Under the Order’s wing
           Dm
He learned everything he could
     Dm
From espionage to picking locks
       Dm
And he fought the best he could
Dm
Using natural abilities
   Dm
He traded secrets too
     Dm
Like how to navigate the woods
    Em       E         Am
And foraging tricks he knew
Dm
When Sicarius got older
     Dm
He embarked on his first missions
        Dm
But the hate inside he could not hide
    Dm
And soon he started to envision
Dm
Up all night seeking answers
   Dm
To who murdered his home
   Dm
He learned a retired commander
       Em Em E    E      Am
On the other side of the world

[Chorus]
    C               Dm
And thus begins our tale
       Em                   Am
Of the legend that started this
  C           Dm
A rogue of Manibus
  G     G     Em E Am
A gnome named Sicarius

[Verse 4]
Dm
Sailing across heavy seas
         Dm
Stopping any in his way
Dm
Sicarius stood on the doorsteps of
  Dm
A man in his last day
N.C.
Silently moving through the shadows
    N.C.
The man was dead asleep
Dm
Quickly plunged his dagger down
    Em  E          Am
The man gasped and weeped
   Dm
As blood trickled from his chest
   Dm
He saw the gnomish lineage
   Dm
He remembered his previous choices
    Dm
And tried to explain his reason
     Dm
”I’m sorry! I should’ve known”
    Dm
”My last days were near!”
        Dm
”Please understand, I wasn’t there!”
      Em  Em  E      E   Am
”I am not the threat you fear!”
N.C.
”What?” Sicarius commanded
N.C.
”The Order of the Setting Sun. I only sent them there, but I never burned your home myself. I’m sorry.”

[Verse 5]
Dm
Hurt, betrayed, once again
   Dm
By those he called his saviors
Dm
Never knew that the helping hand
        Dm
Was the one that caused the danger
   Dm
As commander died, so did Sicarius
    Dm
His spirit had been corrupted
       Dm
Then a voice spoke from deep inside
   Em       E          Am
An offer he couldn’t resist
Dm
Forest gnome of a broken home
      Dm
I'm a god you never knew
     Dm
I’ll grant you strength to end your foes
        Dm
All you have to do is choose
Dm
I am the Sixth, a hidden god
       Dm
Grants ability to those in need
     Dm
I’ve read your soul and we both know
    Em   Em E   E    Am
You want to see them bleed!

[Chorus]
    C               Dm
And thus begins our tale
       Em                   Am
Of the legend that started this
  C
A rogue of Mani—

[Verse 6]
N.C.
No!
I won’t be like them

    Dm
The Sixth faded from existence
  Dm
Sicarius’s anger eased
   Dm
He understood what he had to do
           Dm
As none left could be trusted
Dm
Putting his skills to the test
   Dm
He retaliated against the order
     Dm
What he once called his second home
    Em      E Am
Was now his enemy
Dm
One by one he hunt them down
   Dm
To just a lingering few
Dm
Using new talents to close the gap
Dm
He equaled twenty two
Dm
Soon only one remained
    Dm
His previous helping hand
         Dm
”I don’t blame you, I deserve this”
 Em   Em  E  E    Am
”I'll die by your hand”

(Harsh open chord)

N.C.
And like that, it was over

[Verse 7]
C
Sicarius went to the province
  Am
A place he once called home
G
Since his previous departure
       Dm
It was filled with more gnomes
C
Survivors came from around the world
   Am
To rebuild the grand tree
    G
And Sicarius formed a new clan
    Em      E   Am
The clan of Manibus
       C
Though burdened with the harshest thoughts
   Am
He continues to protect
 G
Using skills he had no choice to learn
   Dm
He had a home to defend
    C
The Sixth made visits to his mind
  Am
Sicarius only rebelled
G
”Evil god, I denounce you”
       Em  Em   E     E  Am
”We’ll see each other in hell”

[Chorus]
*Strum out each chord
    C             Dm
And thus ends our tale
       Em                   Am
Of the legend that started this
  C        Dm
A rogue of Manibus
  G     G     Em E Am
A gnome named Sicarius
