For fun: Alice in Chains Lyrics almost sound like a Lich's Thoughts

 Alice in Chains's: Grind

Our 2e AD&D lich again.

[Verse 1: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell]

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral 'fore the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it's a see-through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah

(((my comments on verse 1: sounds like a Lich warning his foes that... he will not die. The phylactery being unknown to them and all.)))

[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

(((my comments on the chorus: sun never blind your eyes... sounds like the Lich is familiar with either being underground for long periods of time, or creatures which hate daylight. And let him sleep, or he'll be pissed off AKA grinding his teeth. )))

[Verse 2: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell]
Sure to play a part, so you love the game
And in truth, your lies become one and same, yeah
I could set you free, rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah

(((my comments: sounds like a Lich warning his foes that... it may be a game to them, lies or not... he could easily destroy them and take them down.)))

[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell]
In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral 'fore the body dies, yeah
