I hate how your muse wakes up to the strangest things - but I have a new one.
The Game Must Go On - A tribute to E. G. Gygax
(to the tune of The Show Must Go On by Queen)
Empty table – where a man once played,
Mocked by many – For making silly games…
But in the end
He changed the way we think about the world!
Constructed heroes – another ponderous crawl,
Inside the statue, a great destructive ball.
Genius shows
Does anybody play that way anymore?
The Game must go on!
The Game must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking
My minis may be flaking
But I smile, and I play on!
Whatever happened, to all those wondrous days?
When he was hatching – a great cerebral craze.
D and D!
Why can’t it be the 70’s once again?
I guess I'm yearning
I must be older now…
Remember learning, all the whys and how’s.
Outside the dawn was breaking,
But inside in the dark I was playing D&D!
The Game must go on!
The Game must go on! Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking
My minis may be flaking
But I smile, and I play on!
Yeah! oh oh oh
My heart is crying like a cold Wisconsin rain,
And all the years of laughter, just can’t take away the pain,
Why did you die, my friend!
The Game must go on! Yeah!
The Game must go on!
He’s gone on to Paradise!
So pass my bag of dice!
On with the game!
When Gary died,
We all cried,
We had to find the will to carry on!
On with the game,
On with the game! Game!
The Game must go on.
