So, I had inspiration today. I felt that Blue Öyster Cult's Veteran of the Psychic Wars needed to be filked up for our Poke wars. First, here's the song for those of you unfamiliar:
And here are my revised lyrics:
You see me now, a veteran of a thousand poke wars
I've been living in the browser so long
Where the code of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
Don't let these pokes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the threads
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please, don't let these pokes go on
You ask me why I'm weary
Why I can't PM with you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say I'm forever
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free
Don't let these pokes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the threads
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please, don't let these pokes go on
You see me now a veteran
Of a thousand poke wars
My energy's spent at last
And my mouse is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
And I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these pokes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into Hell
Oh, please, don't let these pokes go on
Don't let these pokes go on
Don't let these pokes go on
