Saying Good-By In My Own Way
For some strange reason, these lyrics came to me this morning. They are sung to the tune "American Pie", although I only had time to quickly wite the first and last verses and the chorus.
Feel free to fill in the gaps...after all, it's a pretty long song. A long, long time ago I can still remember how Valhalla used to make me smile And I knew if I had my way I could get my kids to play And maybe we’d be happy for a while But November gave me quavers When I logged on Heroscapers Bad new on the front page The fans were in an outrage Well I don’t remember if I cried when I Read what Wizards did decide But something touched me deep inside The day the Heroscape died So bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers and the old 4th Mass Line And good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside Shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die.” I met a guy who Screamed the Truth And I asked him for some happy news But he just smiled and turned away So I went down to the big box store Where I’d bought expansions years before But the man there said expansions didn’t pay And in my house the children screamed My wife was glad, but I was steamed And not a word was spoken Because my heart was broken And the three men I admired most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost Got screwed by Wizards of the Coast The day the Heroscape died.

Re: Saying Good-By In My Own Way
Here's a start to the second verse:
Did you write the Books of 'Scape And do you have faith in Sgt Drake... Okay, I'm tapped out now. Saying good-by to Heroscape Get Real! http://www.reallifenow.org Check out some of my songs: www.myspace.com/rlccmusic |

Re: Saying Good-By In My Own Way
Here's one (if you want it)
And, there they were, grouped in one place – a bunch of heroes lost in space, If they die they just come back again. So, come on, Drake is nimble, Carr is quick – Dund loves to play chase the stick KC is Runa’s only friend. And as I read the words on the front page, my hands were clenched in fists of rage No Wizard from the Coast, could make ‘Scape give up the ghost And as the news at last sank in, I thought to myself, it’s a freaking sin The day the HeroScape died. |

Knowledge is Power. Power Corrupts. Study Hard. Be Evil. |

@jbbnbsmith, RabSheila RabSheila, Mad Wookiee
You guys inspired me to get the lyrics and try and finish it out. I use your lyrics where I could and changed some stuff. Here it is please edit if you can think up some better word play. This is a long song so...long post. A long, long time ago I can still remember how Valhalla used to make me smile And I knew if I had my way I could get my kids to play And maybe we’d be happy for a while But November gave me quavers with the post that Truth delivered Bad new on the front page the fans were in an outrage Well I don’t remember if I cried about what those at Wizards did decide But something touched me deep inside The day the Heroscape died So bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers and the old 4th Mass Line And good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside Shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die.” Did you write the Books of 'Scape and do you have faith in Sgt Drake... If the Reverend tells you so? Do you believe in rolling dice? Can a perfect draft save you life? And will you teach me how to Bond just so. Well I know you’ll never forgive them By the tone of all your petitions We were seeking all kinds of news Man dig those podcast blues. I was an avid gamer with burning bucks With a need to complete my collection But I knew I was out of luck The day the Scape did die. I started singing, Bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers And the old 4th Mass Line. And them good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside and shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die” Now for six years we’ve been playing strong And tiles grow tall, when you played so long But for newbs that’s not how it going to be. When the play testers worked for the ceo’s With figures, from other games, that were stole “And a desire that came from you and me,” Oh, and while the fans were looking round At all the D&D on the ground. The board room was adjourned No profits had returned And while some became the CG3 The customizers worked religiously Designing customs for you and me The day the Scaping died. And we were singing Bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers And the old 4th Mass Line. And them good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside and shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die” Higgledy Piggledy, the fall leaves were wiggly When Scapers make a run on the online sellers, Eighteen dollars and rising fast. E-bay seller changing fast Prices to make you want to gasp With the license in limbo; what a mess. Were the rumors of buyers more than fumes? While the old guard ran to spread the news, We dropped on bended knees. Oh but we never got reprieved Cause The Gaming Gang could not reveal Any news that didn't make us ill. Do you recall the way what was the deal The day the Scaping died? We were singing Bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers And the old 4th Mass Line. And them good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside and shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die” And, there they were, grouped in one place A bunch of heroes lost in space; if they die they just come back again. So, come on, Drake is nimble, Carr is quick – Dund loves to play chase the stick KC is Runa’s only friend. And as I read what was on the home page, my hands were clenched in fists of rage No Wizard from the Coast, Could make my ‘Scape a ghost and as the news at last sank in, I thought to myself, it’s a freaking sin I saw ceo’s with devilish grins. The day the Scaping died. They were singing Bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, you’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers And the old 4th Mass Line. And them good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak besides shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die” I met a guy who Screamed the Truth And I asked him for some happy news But he just smiled and turned away So I went down to the big box store Where I’d bought expansions years before But the man there said no expansions here today. And in my house the children screamed my wife was glad, but I was steamed And not a word was spoken because my heart was broken and the three men I esteemed the most The creators of the game I love to host their creation screwed by Wizards of the Coast the day that Heroscape died. And they were singing Bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers And the old 4th Mass Line. And them good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside and shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die And they were singing Bye-bye Tagawa Samurai, I’ll miss the Snipers and the Vipers And the old 4th Mass Line. And them good old Orcs with Krug and Grimnak beside and shouting “This’ll be the day that I die.” “This’ll be the day that I die I, like God, do play with dice and do believe in coincidence. |
