Title: Rap of the Ancients
Post by: BlasterNT on May 10, 2009, 03:52:47 pm
We were proud, boastful even,
from the land, great monuments were heathen,

We explored what we could,
we build what we could,
We traveled as fast as could be understood,

Then it dawned,
it took long,
But it opened us to a whole new pond—
Subspace!
yeah, Subspace!
Subspace!
yeah, Subspace!

We expanded our empire, our hold concreted,
the others attacked, they were always defeated,
Whomever we met—whomever we meeted,
this was the way they were always greeted:
Surrender or die!
yeah, Surrender or die!
Surrender or die!
yeah, Surrender or die!

This we did, until they came,
we treated them to a bunch of flame,
We knew we would win, we had played this game,
and the outcome of it was always the same,

However,

Our lasers seemed to have no effect,
When we shot them, we always were wrecked,
Cause of their shields!
yeah, they had shields!
Cause of their shields!
yeah, they had shields!

And now we know that our crime was sin,
The reason they fired came from within,
They hunted us until we were spread thin,
They reduced us to a few systems,

We came back to our home sun,
we believed this was the one,
They ain’t terrestrial, they want no land,
they care not for gear, or a working had,
But still they followed,
still they pursued,
They took the only thing we had to lose
And so our star was gone!
our system was gone!
Our home—our crib was gone!
our home,

So now I’m here,
and I’ve thing to tell you,
We were almost finished, almost through,
but then we learned a thing or two—
Their Shields,
yeah their Shields,
Their Shields,
yeah their Shields,
They don’t work in Subspace,
but our weapons do

(Grand Pause)

But we can’t act on that anymore,
So heed the warnings, on the sepulcher floor:
Whatever you do, don’t open the door—
you won’t be able to win this war!

-meh, had an idea, worked on it, and this is the result

Countless written, 27 Performed, 5 Recorded and 2 about to be youtubed in the next week :) If you like it keep it up man, try to avoid words that crank the "awkwardness" factor such as pond, because well... it sounds awkward used in that context. Most of it was pretty good considering what you had to use :) Good work.
