(Written on the last day of the First Bardic War)
(A filk of Blue Oyster Cult's Veteran of the Psychic Wars) You see me now the Veteran of the Knowne Worlde Bardic Wars I've been living on the Zoom so long My life has come and gone But I'm strong enough to take it Yet far too weak to leave All the songs are on the inside I'm not sure if there's any songs left in me Don't let these nights be done It's time we had a battle score It's time for us to breathe We've been fighting on the screens We've been singing in our dreams Oh please, just let these Zooms go on You ask me why I'm sleepy, Why I can't hold a tune You blame me for my hoarseness, Say it's too much time on zoom But the wars still going on, dear, And the end's in sight I know And I can't stay on forever I can't say if we're ever going to leave Don't let these nights be done It's time we had a battle score It's time for us to breathe We've been fighting on the screens We've been singing in our dreams Oh please, just let these Zooms go on You see me now the veteran Of the Knowne Worlde Bardic War My instrument's played at last, And my notes have been deployed I have used up all my lyrics And I'm sleepless and so peeved Scores are all I'm made of Did I hear you say that this was victory? Don't let these nights be done It's time we had a battle score Send me back to cheer Where signs of madness rise We slide into reprise Oh please, just let these zooms go on Just let these zooms go on... Just let these zooms go on! |
