Sound of Silence written by Paul Simon

Hello Dorkness, my old friend.
We've come to roll with you again.
Because a bard who's softly weeping
Left himself ripe for the reaping.
And the vision that was planted on my screen,
Every scene.
Filled with your farce, and violence.

On countless quests I walked alone
Together now, we seek his throne
'Neath an evil wizard's ancient keep
I turned rampaging ghouls chained at his feet
When his eyes erupted with a flash of evil light
We'd lost the fight
Struck down by farce, and violence.

And in the hellish light I saw
A score of undead, maybe more
Creatures walking without breathing
Creatures lifeless yet seething
Ghastly writhing throngs with voices ever shrill
Yet we lay still
Dispatched by farce, and violence.

"Fools!" he said, "Unwelcomed guests."
"I will send you to your rest."
Hear my words don't let them flank you
I have no spells to heal you.
But my words, like the blood of the party fell
And stained
The dungeon floor with violence.

And the ghouls all shrieked and cheered
To the death god whom they feared
And the unholy necromancer
roared out with vile laughter
And the DM said, "The campaign has ended and your party into
darkness falls"
And in his pad he scrawls
The record of our farce and violence.

When I stumbled across "Dorkness Rising" two years ago on Netflix, I fell in love. I told all my friends and fellow "pen and paper" gamers to watch too. It was clearly crafted with love and we all watched it several times - before Netflix moved it to DVD only :( Just wanted to say that, and that the song is awesome! Now that I know about ZOE.com I'll lend as much love and support as I can. :) Also, I'd totally buy the MP3. ;)

@ceeller If there's demand for an MP3 version, we'd like to do a proper studio recording. But feel free to grab the audio from the stream. I can probably work out posting the track on the ZOE site as well.

I'd love to get an officially sanctioned MP3 of this for mobile audio needs. Any chance of that happening?

[MethosTwiceblessed]

We will follow you to the Dork Side!

Greece salutes you!!

[Idaknowful]

I need this song for my ringtone!

[n0nstandarddeviation]

Added subtitles to this for English. Anyone want to do translations? :)

[ThingUTS]

The Dorkness is strong with these ones.

The entirety of Zombie Orpheus Entertainment should be commended for all of their efforts. They are such an inspiration to geeks and nerds everywhere aspiring to do something bigger with the things they love to do. Bravo to all; total waffle.
