Hi mates!

I was just working in the factory this evening driving my forklift and my brain decided to sing a song with a dwarven variation. I noted down some verses on my mobile phone and finished them here at home. I admith this is not entirely original and probably not worth the attention of all Armok worshippers but anyway I'm sharing it here. Feel free to change, adapt or just criticise it as much as you want (or just ignore it xD). Maybe you can find better words and rhymes, given that I'm Spanish and not a native English speaker. Cheers!



Raw Adamantine (with music by Bob Dylan).

How many mountains a dwarf has to dig
so they call it Mountainhome.
And how many tiles must the dwarves dig before
they collapse the floor they are on.
Say how many migrants a fort must endure
before one can take it no more.
The answer, my friend, is raw adamantine.
The answer is raw adamantine.

How many gobs must an ambush contain
for all the cage traps to get filled.
Say, how many elves must a dwarf hear complain
about them all cutting the trees.
And why they are called Titans when they're above
and when below Forgotten Beasts.
The answer, my friend, is raw adamantine.
The answer is raw adamantine.

Yes, and how many clowns in the Circus there are
who can bring the !!FUN!! to the end.
And how many moods must a fortress sustain
until that one dwarf goes insane.
Say, what is the purpose of this little game
is fun, is it love or just pain.
The answer, my friend, is raw adamantine.
The answer is raw adamantine.

I like it, but I do have one note

so they call it a Mountainhome.

This would flow better without the "a"

[Thelo]

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

I would need anyway to hear how it flows because my accent and cadence are not entirely correct for English, so in my head it fits better with the "a". I'd love to be able to hear other people's suggestions, surely I'd do.

Another verse I was thinking about changing was this one:

"And how many tiles must a dwarf dig before
he provokes the floor to cave in."

For this other one:

"And how many tiles must the dwarves dig before
they collapse the floor they are on."

Like that it would rhyme with the other two verses.

Anyway, thanks for the comment.

This is very good!

[Thelo]

Thanks, Gwolfski. I wish I could compose too, anyway!


Tomorrow I'll record again with the slight changes suggested.

[Thelo]

Made a new version but I'm not satisfied with the voice so I will not upload it yet. Tomorrow.
