A song about the Headsman of Brynn

A story of a headsman Who had a house in Brynn. Fat bellied, petty villain He swung his axe with glee.

And then one day a peasant came To hint at lack of grind: "There's no sharpness to the blade With only strength behind!"

The headsman laid his head on block: "I'll prove this axe is right, How dare you over here walk And say it's just my might?"

The peasant chopped at villain's neck The bloodied edge was true This hardly was the strongest hack, But through the spine it blew.

"Now would you look at that, This fellow wasn't wrong! His axe is nothing to scoff at, It cuts for weak and strong!"
