Great Song

In the downtime between sorting out the next actual Army of Gnoblars parody, I wanted to give a tip of the hat to Norn's other (better) troubadour, Gamling.

Cheers for making both realms grin last year. ;)

Lyrics below:

You wrote a great song
But we've not seen you around in a year
Where did you go to Gamling?
Did you quit the game? That's what I hear
Can't blame you if you did
So many others have done the same
If things carry on like this
Won't be many people still in game

You see this ol' WAR's got a problem,
People don't seem to stick around
Pierun's rerolled Destruction
Others quit or sold their accounts
And Mythic ran off and left us
Adding more grind is all they'd give
I said somebody's gotta keep taking the piss
So we made a band and that's what I did.

You wrote a great song,
Made Blade and Quill a household name
Then we ended up on Norn
And never heard from you again

Did you know it was our anthem in the city siege?
A ten ton case of irony
With the game locked in a downward spiral
Paul Barnett cried when your song went viral
And I...I had a feeling that it belonged
I...I, couldn't help but sit and laugh along
Laugh along, laugh along

You wrote a great song,
Catchy words and melody
I'm just here with my guitar
Sticking it out with parodies
Coz there are no music contests,
No rewards for using your voice,
What are they afraid of?
Is it coz the troubadours aren't fanboys?

Did you know it was our anthem in the city siege?
A ten ton case of irony
Jeff Hickman saw it and blew a fuse
Sacked anyone who loaded YouTube
And I...I have no evidence to base that on
But I...I have a feeling that its not far wrong

You wrote a great song
Before the game was in decline
Sadly its still so true
Just take a look at the forum whines
