BoR
Pie
(*** sung to the tune of "American Pie" ***)
A long long time ago...
I can still remember when that guild it made me smile.
And I knew if I had a chance,
I could make my longswords dance,
And maybe they'd promote me, in a while.
But Dredds commanding
made me quiver,
At every meeting throngs would shiver,
Bad news for the guildship,
While Dredd held us in his deathgrip.
I can't remember if I
cried,
When we tried ol' Dredd and said goodbye,
But something touched me deep inside,
The day - that Dredd - was tried.
So, bye bye to the guild
Dredd had tried,
Said his commanding was demanding so we gave the tribunal a try,
And them good ol' soldiers in the legions stood high,
Singing, Now the BoR shall never die,
Now the BoR shall never die!
So we voted in three of
our own,
And with everyones help our numbers had grown,
Cause the guild began to shine.
And do you believe we had enough,
People to fill the legions up,
And everyone seemed happy for a while.
Well, I know we had our ups and downs,
Under the mighty weight of three gold crowns,
But we all hiked up our sleeves,
And made Rhydin come to it's knees!
I was a lonely colonel once it's true,
But now the guild was all brand new,
And we saw the Sun was shining through,
The day - that Dredd - was tried.
I started singing,
Bye bye to the guild Dredd had tried,
Said his commanding was demanding so we gave the tribunal a try,
And them good ol' soldiers in the legions stood high,
Singing, Now the BoR shall never die,
Now the BoR shall never die!
Now for many years we were on our own,
And our members thrived and our guild had grown,
But that's not how it used to be.
Now the Command Council was a happy crew,
And our thoughts and dreams were always new,
And anything could be discussed without a fear.
Oh, but while we had our wonderous team,
Others set to steal our dream,
The guild wars were a pain,
But to them we were a bane.
Cause no matter where in Rhydin you went,
The BoR was everpresent,
We all felt it was Heaven sent,
The day - that Dredd - was tried.
We were all singing,
Bye bye to the guild Dredd had tried,
Said his commanding was demanding so we gave the tribunal a try,
And them good ol' soldiers in the legions stood high,
Singing, Now the BoR shall never die,
Now the BoR shall never die!
Black and blue and red all around,
The wars took place on holy ground,
As the BoR fought for the Light.
And in the end we stood up tall,
As one by one the other guilds would fall,
With the Command Council leading it all.
Now the other guilds were scared and weak,
And they thought thier chances against us were bleak,
So we all got up to dance,
But we never got the chance,
Cause the Dark allied to take the lands,
But we held fast, brothers hand in hand,
the day - that Dredd - was tried.
We started singing,
Bye bye to the guild Dredd had tried,
Said his commanding was demanding so we gave the tribunal a try,
And them good ol' soldiers in the legions stood high,
Singing, Now the BoR shall never die,
Now the BoR shall never die!
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
The BoR was filled with grace,
With all our resources brought to bear,
So come on, Dredd be thoughtful, Dredd be quick,
Dredd think of something really slick,
Cause trickery is the darknesses only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage,
My hands were clenched in fists of rage,
But no leader born in hell,
Could break the BoR's spell.
And as the trial drew on into the night,
We lit the sacrificial rite,
And we all held firmly with delight,
The day - that Dredd - was tried.
He was singing,
Bye bye to the guild Dredd had tried,
Said his commanding was demanding so we gave the tribunal a try,
And them good ol' soldiers in the legions stood high,
Singing, Now the BoR shall never die,
Now the BoR shall never die!
I met a girl who stood by Dredd,
And I asked her what was in her head,
But she just smiled and turned away.
And I downed a bottle of my best bloodwyne,
As I thought about his horrid crime,
And I made my own peace and voted guilty that day.
And in the castles people cheered,
Those of the Light were thrilled, but the darkness sneered,
And not a word was spoken,
As Dredd looked like we broke him.
And to those of us whom I admire most,
That had to guts to remove him from post,
They brought the Light back coast to coast,
The day - that Dredd - was tried.
They were singing,
Bye bye to the guild Dredd had tried,
Said his commanding was demanding so we gave the tribunal a try,
And them good ol' soldiers in the legions stood high,
Singing, Now the BoR shall never die,
Now the BoR shall never die!
Now the BoR shall never die!!!
Much love,
Dracos
