The Blood-Festival Of Armok
« on: December 23, 2007, 09:12:00 pm »

OOOOOOHhhhh;

On the twelfth day of the Blood Festival of Armok,
My Blood God gave me:
12 Pervert Demons
11 Zombie Carp
10 thousand Goblins
9 Pachyderms Pouncing
8 Maggot Milk-Maids
7 Broken Brains
6 scary deer
5 Chopped-off Fingers
4 Biting dogs
3 !!Kitten Mittens!!
2 Gouged-out eyeballs,
And an Admantium Axe to the FAAAAAA-ACE!

Any Ideas for 13-24?

That should be just "3. ‼Mittens‼", your telling us that they're burning twice.

I hate to nitpick... oh, wait... no I don't. Anyway, that should be "3. ‼Kitten Leather Mittens‼". Other than that, good song!

Who comes to kill on every night?
Armok comes to kill on every night!
Who gives all of us fear and fright?
Armok gives all of us fear and fright!
Who spills blood, be it red, blue or white?
Armok spills blood, red blue and white!
Every night!
Fear and fright!
Red, blue and white!
Must be Armok, Must be Armok,
Must be Armok, God of Blood!

Some of that stuff is a teensy bit hard to fit into the cadence.  "Blood-Festival of Armok", for instance, has at least one more syllable than "Christmas".

"Steel" would be easier to sing than "adamantium", but adamantium fits in better.  Even though in DF, it's adamantine.

Same goes for "pachyderms pouncing" and "maids a-milking maggots".  "Maggot milkmaids" might be easier, and we all know about it anyways.

13 Skull-filled coffins?
14 Raging titans?
Also, "blood God" would fit in instead of "nemesis".  Not only because of the cadence, but also because we are being given "gifts" by our great lord, Armok.  After all, it is better to give than recieve, especially on the Blood Solstice.

So, when you recieve goblin invaders, be sure to give them plenty of bolts.

Not designed for Dwarf Fortress, but:

Slashing through our foes,
with a good two-handed blade.
Over corpses go,
and through the gore we wade!
Mace on helmets ring,
making bodies fly!
What fun it is to sing our song,
and watch those suckers die!
Oh, ring their bells with swords and spells,
don't let them get away!
We're brave and bold for fame and gold, we'll make a lot today!
Oh, ring their bells with swords and spells
Don't let 'em get away!
We'll hack and slash and blast and trash
And blow these dudes away!

There's more to it, that's just the bit I know by heart.

I thought that was kind of the point.  Adds to the humor.

I always hear that song as "what fun it is to ride and sing a slaying song tonight"

Reminds me of the Rohirrim.
