“Eye in the Sky” by The Alan Parsons Project is the perfect description of a DM.
I owe this connection to my brother, Robert. The best DM I have ever had.
Imagine it is the DM saying these words.
Think about it, the DM knows it all. The DM knows what your character is thinking and planning.
The chorus is spot on, “I am the maker of rules, Dealing with fools….”
“Are you sure you want to do that?”
My brother and I had this discussion decades ago about songs whose lyrics when seen through the lens of RPGs and imagining who the speaker of those lyrics is.
Sometimes the song’s title says it all. For others, it’s the chorus. For very few, the whole song.
I created a YouTube playlist for this.

Comment with a song and if it’s the title or lyrics, etc. that evokes what you think of as a particular class or creature.
