Songs of Conquest
« Thread Started on Nov 17, 2007, 4:55pm »

I may be a bit of a newb, but during our party in AROME, I couldn't help notice the many lotr songs that appeared.

So I thought we could come up with a few of our own, if we get enough together, maybe a K-Tel Xmas Special!?!

I've posted the songs that I've come up with so far.
I'll also post on here songs that anyone else comes up with.

Come, lets go a-partying far
And see what may be our finds
Where Butterbur's Ale and cookies are
And biscuits of many kinds
Many songs we hope you will refrain
And instead our singing learn,
For on the morrow we'll be here again
To get the papers for which we yearn

We do not seek your hobbit ways
We will stay here till the end
Until the end of your singing days
Those surrender papers best you mend
Then as we all move on
A discovery you have made
Be glad that the Skeleton Army won
By partying and not by blade

After a while when we are bleary
From late nights, home-brew and ales,
We will return to our crypts so dreary
And leave peace in your dales
We will party but not fight
For our way is as we please
celebrating throughout the night
Perhaps it's best you give Ramazakal the keys
So with the papers of surrender
Dreams of hobbitry can return in your minds
Your region will again have splendour
And a bone or two left behind.

We do not seek your hobbit ways
We will stay here till the end
Until the end of your singing days
Those surrender papers best you mend
Then as we all move on
A discovery you have made
Be glad that the Skeleton Army won
By partying and not by blade

We come, we come with rattle of bone: ra-tatat ra-tatat ra-tatat tat!
We come, we come with whail and scream: wooooo oooo oooo arghh!
To Middle Earth! Though Middle Earth be biscuits and cookies with songs so nice;
Though Middle Earth be soft and comfy, as warm as toast and here there's no vice,
We go, we go, we go to party, to drink the ale and eat the sausage;
We're the Skeleton Army, wherever we go there's a bit of an outrage!
From a land of gloom with tramp of doom, with rattle of bone, we come, we come;
To Middle Earth with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!

Surrender
Try to forget torment
Lying behind a smile
Tears for sentiment
Now you've taken awhile

For that sweet surrender
You'll get what you deserve
We've given you our rhyme
Your dignity we will preserve
Now You've done your time

Surrender
We filled your hand with options
And a discovery you have made
One not tainted by emotions
We won by partying not by blade

Melody: Summer In The City (The Lovin' Spoonful)

Ulthar, splendiferous city!
The Skeleton Army is dirty and gritty.
It's locked, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be an entrance to this city.

All around, people looking undead
Singing incantations, seeking duels like a hothead.

From cafés you can watch the world,
See the events unfurl.
Come on, come on, let's feast all night.
The Queen is here, it'll be alright.

We pledge kindness to every kitty.
We have come to party all night
Here in Ulthar, in the city
Here in Ulthar, in the city.

Ulthar, Mayor of the city
Shadows in your nightmares sing you a ditty.
The Skeleton Army's cooking committee
Brings you secret sauce so your sleep'll be pretty.

Meet a dragon at the bus stop.
Cobwebs everywhere, from catacombs to rooftop.

The nightmares in this world
Will make your toenails curl.
Come on, come on, let's feast all night.
The Queen is here, it'll be alright.

We pledge kindness to every kitty.
We have come to party all night
Here in Ulthar, in the city
Here in Ulthar, in the city.

(Instrumental, truck & rocket noises)

Ulthar, kitty-friendly city.
If you harm one, they'll show you no pity.
Watch out! If you see a kitty
Gotta be on your best behaviour in this city.

All around, people looking undead.
BBQ's fired up, hotter than a matchhead.

The nightmares in this world
Will make your toenails curl.
Come on the roller coaster ride!
Despite the curse it'll be alright.

We pledge kindness to every kitty.
We have come to party all night
Here in Ulthar, in the city
Here in Ulthar, in the city.

Lazarus Song

from the Lazarus Invasion, June 2011

Melody: That's What Friends Are For - The Jungle Book

Let us dance
Let us dance
Let us dance all through the night

When you were gone
Where do you go
To resurrect
And be restored?
And when you're outside, looking in
Where is your opening door?
It's in Lazarus!

Where are the parties fabulous
And glamorous?
It's in Lazarus!

And when you're lost in dire need
Where are you sent at lightning speed?
The hope of every nation
Ever CTE
Is the one pick-me-up-now region where
Hope is restored, is restored.

So let us dance
All through the night
The stars shine bright
All through the night
Where are natives lovely and
Skeletons amorous?
It's in Lazarus!

Wysteria Song

from the Wysteria invasion, July 2012

Melody: Journey Through the Past - Neil Young

In Wysteria
the full moon shines
on charming company.
It's a region full
of wonders and delights.
And the restless hordes
of warriors
on a journey beyond time
have found gladness in this green
and pleasant place.

Now we're going back to our home
on a journey beyond time
and we won't be back
till nobody knows when.
I will dance with you
if you'll dance with me,
said the drunken skeleton,
and we'll circle round
on a journey beyond time.

In Wysteria
the full moon shines
on charming company.
There is gladness in this green
and pleasant place.
There is gladness in this green
and pleasant place.

Yggdrasil Song

From the Yggdrasil invasion, March/April 2013

Melody: Xanadu
Olivia Newton-John

A place under the great ash tree
Happiness and esprit
They call it Yggdrasil
(Greatest of trees and its roots are deep)

And now, open your eyes and see
Rum is abundant, free
All thanks to Yggdrasil
(A shared dream, we offer you)

A million glasses raised
And there you are, an open bar
Goddess Relief Office
Will watch over you eternally

Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil
(Greatest of trees)
In Yggdrasil
(Yggdrasil)

Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil
(Your roots are deep)
In Yggdrasil

Yggdrasil, the tree will ever grow
For you Yggdrasil

Our friends, as we all verily know
About a year ago
They came from Yggdrasil
(A friend in need, a friend indeed)

Undead, the skeleton army lies
Asleep til again we rise
We came to Yggdrasil
(Undreamed of dream, it can happen to you)

A million zombies roaming
Came overnight, gave us a fright
And then our forces joined
In anti-zombie solidarity

Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil
(Regions will fall)
In Yggdrasil
(Yggdrasil)

Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil
(It was a dream)
In Yggdrasil
(Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil)

We disappear
With a loud cheer
For Yggdrasil

We disappear
And hold you dear
In Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil

The Skeleton Army: Members and Friends

On the occasion of our defense by TITO, June 2013

We found our friends were close

Melody: The Briar and the Rose (written by Tom Waits)
Dedicated to every one of our defenders

youtu.be/nAKE_3c4QxQ

I fell asleep, so it would seem
And there I had the strangest dream
A day when cold an ill wind blows
What do you do on those

There's a throne of bones
And you wonder where
The Queen has gone and left her chair
You send a signal in the air
And hope your friends are close

Long in the garden it has been
A spade that all the grasses green
The daffodil and iris knows
The briar and the rose

We picked up a spade one early morn
A deed from trust and friendship born
And on that day, as history shows
We found our friends were close

No ill wind shall tear us apart
Although our ribs enclose no heart
And empty skulls no brains enclose
We love this place we chose

And when we're buried in our crypts
Tell us so we may know
An ancient tale
From long ago
We found our friends were close

Philosophy 115 Song

From the Philosophy 115 tour, August 2012

Melody: Jazzman by Carole King

Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine?
Make it good, let us go thinking

When the thoughts are freely flowing in Philosophy
We can ponder all the questions we want to ask ourselves
It's a fellowship of humans, a touch of open minds
A song of many voices questioning authority

Thinking in Philosophy
Where our minds discover things and prejudice gives way
Thinking, oh Thinking

When the thoughts are freely flowing in Philosophy
We can ponder all the questions we want to ask ourselves
It's a fellowship of humans, a touch of open minds
A song of many voices questioning authority

Thinking in Philosophy
Where our minds discover things and prejudice gives way
Thinking, oh Thinking

Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine?
Make it good, let us go thinking

Mordor Song

From the Mordor Invasion
August / September 2013

Melody: A Lifetime of War - En livstid i krig
by Sabaton
youtu.be/zvdbDw5bXnQ
youtu.be/y8jki4i4raQ

I look ahead and see the Black Gate open wide.
The host of Mordor comes. There is no place to hide.
Nothing escapes the Eye that looks from Barad-Dûr.
Above the Nazgûl circle. Orcs march into war.
Two Towers stand in strife. Mount Doom erupts in flames.
Here Sauron rules.

A Mordor to love.
You want a wild ride?
Endless intrigue will keep you supplied.
Two Towers to love.
Do you long for peace
and being free do decide?
The Forces of Mordor will be on your side.
A Mordor to love.

From dawn to dawn they're fighting, die where they stand.
The fog of war lies thick when armies scorch the land.
When all of Mordor’s burning what can be done?
Let’s take a break from warfare, feast and have fun.

Seeking a home?
Mordor är ett bra hem.

Here Sauron rules.

A Mordor to love.
You want a wild ride?
Endless intrigue will keep you supplied.
Two Towers to love.
Do you long for peace
and being free do decide?
The Forces of Mordor will be on your side.
A Mordor to love.

Now our stay is at an end.
We had a blast,
denizens
of this most charming evil land.
It was fun
invading you.
We say goodbye now.

A Mordor to love.
You want a wild ride?
Endless intrigue will keep you supplied.
Two Towers to love.
Do you long for peace
and being free do decide?
The Forces of Mordor will be on your side.
A Mordor to love.

A Song for The Rejected Realms

From the RR Invasion
November 2013

Melody: Walking on Air
by King Crimson

youtu.be/c2r1w4UIwXQ

The Rejected Realms Song

Close your eyes and look at me.
Do you wonder why you're here?
This zone's ejection-free,
so do take a chair.
If you stay and chat a bit
you'll find pleasantness and wit
here in The Rejected Realms,
a region with flair.

And if petty conflicts brought you here
take your time, consider what you want.
There's much you haven’t tried
and the world is so wide.
You don't have to hurry.
Stay and get to know
The Rejected Realms.
Just go with the flow.

And some days you'll see the RRA
chase the disproportionately loud away.
Unicorns so white
come alive in your eyes
through the world to hurry.
We decide with whom
we play, plain as day
to all but a few.

And the worries of the world lie down
when you meet some of the regulars.
There are spirits of renown
in this classy restaurant.
You don't have to worry.
Chill here, free from care
in The Rejected Realms.
A breath of fresh air.

10000 Islands Song

From the 10000 Islands Invasion
November / December 2013

Melody: Melody: Flowers in the Window
by Travis

youtu.be/OYvv4mg52CA

Morning sun rises. The night’s cold
recedes. Through silver mists behold:
The early light falls on a shore as you
and I have never ever dreamt or seen before.

Wow look at you now,
The Ten Thousand Islands.
It’s such a lovely place
to drop one’s anchor down and stay.
‘Cause you stand up, out in the crowd.
You are one in a million.
Realm of blue-green waves,
you have what the heart craves.

You are a reason to feel glad.
So often we are shown how much the world is mad.
You don’t fall for the lies that are so oft retold
‘Cause you help out and carry others’ load.

Wow look at you now,
The Ten Thousand Islands.
Every cozy bay
a place to frolic, laugh and play.
‘Cause you stand up, out in the crowd,
The Ten Thousand Islands.
Archipelago
bathed in the sun’s warm glow.

Your history is long and fine.
For every generation there is time, time, time
to plant new seeds and watch them grow.
Each one inspires the Islands that we love and know.

Wow look at you now,
The Ten Thousand Islands.
Here at the Tiki bar
you’ll meet guests from near and far.
‘Cause you stand up, out in the crowd.
You are one in a million.
Beaches of white sand
surround each lovely land.

Wow look at you now,
The Ten Thousand Islands.
It’s such a joyful place
to drop one’s anchor down and stay.
‘Cause you stand up, out in the crowd,
The Ten Thousand Islands,
and come sun or snow,
long may our friendship grow.

Bye, TNP! Bye bye bye!
(But it all seemed so real!)
A good New Year and farewell!
