Whatcha say? Should we come up with short verses of DDO bawdiness? :) Delicious, derelict, defiant ditties dominating deviant, doleful, demented dances! Hear ye! Hear ye! Who's first? I imagine the Bard!. Not tonight, though, it's too late and I'm tired. Let's see if someone is faster than me and posts before I do tomorrow. The challenge is out!

The Lament of the Old Republic — By Tridley d'Jorasco
(Sang to the tune of 'Star of the County Down', music file included below)

There once was a time when no struggle was found
A time before Stormreach was magic abound
The people were merry, not a soul was left brawling
Gather 'round, hear the story of the Republic's falling
...
The ground it did tremble with quakes from below
The oracles' visions were filled but with woe
As fire and brimstone erupted from th'earth
The forces of Hell unleashed their vile rebirth
...
The people of Xen'drik, did fear this occasion
Alas, they were not so prepared for invasion
The races and guilds rallied forth into battle
But lo, did those foul fiends slaughter them like cattle

Oy dee oh, oy dee ay
Old Republic be praised
Oh do I, oh do you
Soon again t'will be raised
Oy dee oh, oy dee ay
Old Republic that ceased
Oh do I, oh do you
Long again for its peace


Corruption and hatred spread like wildfire
Believe when I sing that these times were o'dire
Like demons and devils, the races did war
Revolution came forth as did never before
...
The orcs and kobolds became bitter as brine
The humans and dwarves claimed they all were malign
The halflings took care to stay out of the quarrels
As the high elves and drow split apart but in morals

Oy dee oh, oy dee ay
Old Republic be praised
Oh do I, oh do you
Soon again t'will be raised
Oy dee oh, oy dee ay
Old Republic that ceased
Oh do I, oh do you
Long again for its peace


The druids did wander to lands far away
And the shifters and changelings, they too fell astray
Those whom remained formed the Houses of power
Magewrights, artificers, made numerous a tower
...
Once Hell was defeated, the people rejoiced
But Republican ways never were again voiced
The Houses took over, the nations did part
So sing with me, fellows, I know this by heart
...
Oy dee oh, oy dee ay
Old Republic be praised
Oh do I, oh do you
Soon again t'will be raised
Oy dee oh, oy dee ay
Old Republic that ceased
Oh do I, oh do you
Long again for its peace
