Affirmation

I believe the sun should never set upon a raid revenge
I believe we get much happiness from our alliance mates
I believe that summons are so stingy because they earn a lot
I believe the mods do the best job they know how to do
I believe that whale’s rosters promote low self esteem
I believe in loving the heroes that I’m given by my luck alone

I believe in Karma that bad luck will soon turn into good
I believe you can’t appreciate real luck until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other ally
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe you can’t control or choose your starting board
I believe that offense is more important than defense
I believe that the most attractive events are the ones that are fun
I believe that ally mates are worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for the leaderboards isn’t fair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma that bad luck will soon turn into good
I believe you can’t appreciate real luck until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other ally
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe accepting loss is the key to our unhappiness
I believe that fun heroes negates the need to chase some more
I believe that I’ll never endorse forum rudeness
I believe in alliance surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma that bad luck will soon turn into good
I believe you can’t appreciate real luck until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other ally
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

Timebomb

inspired by my disastrous flags in our wars @amrath @TGW @sft1965 @Duaneski

Every week, every month
Five times outta six, I’m gonna one-shot
I don’t wanna get you down, but I’m warning you, boss
It’s rush attack, no room for slow
It’s a roadblock to our war chest
Check all the defenses, so OP, I’m warning you, boss

Afraid to press attack again, cannot match, lost Seshat
But when Proteus fires, it’s like I’m ready to win again

Who put my Rigard out of costume?
No attack buffs, crap, God save me now
How many minions left from my Bera?
Now Sarty’s dead, oh, God save me now

Is it bad boards? Is it bad boards?
Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb
I can feel my, I can feel my heart
Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb

Heads up, look alive
The more that I make some matches
The more I dig myself in, I’m warning you, boss
Sabina’s red, in danger zone
Point of no return coming real close
Bera’s dead, I’m afraid, I’m warning you, boss

Afraid to press attack again, cannot match, lost my Joon
But when Inari dodges it’s like I’m ready to win again

Who stripped the emblems of Malosi?
Lady Wooly’s dead, oh, “God save me now”
How many turns left from Inari’s buff?
Now Jackal’s dead, crap, “God save me now”

Is it bad boards? Is it bad boards?
Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb
I can feel my, I can feel my heart
Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb

Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb

Afraid to press attack again, cannot match, lost Lepus
But when Kiril fires it’s like I’m ready to win again

Who switched my Sonya out of costume?
All that DoT, God save me now
How many turns left before Richard hits?
Now Isarnia’s dead, God save me now

Is it bad boards? Is it bad boards?
Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb
I can feel my, I can feel my heart
Ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb

I can feel my heart ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb
I can feel my heart ti-ti-ti-ticking like a time-bomb

That war was an experience but

“ll never give you up or let you you down…”

The truth is, I was the last person standing so took the high risk, high reward approach, My two massive mistakes? I took a 1/8 Rigard and 1/1 Zilia Lei and that cost us, but I could have done no better.

you did excellently @sft1965 , did a lot of damage against a tough defense! so indeed, you did your best and that’s all we ask :slight_smile: thanks for your tactical thinking too my friend, including the psychological warfare discussion on when to attack

THE DIGGER
(THE JOKER)

Some people call me the dirt cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Morris
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love

People don’t like me in offence
Say I’m doing it wrong, doing it wrong
Well, don’t you worry 'bout me, don’t worry
'Cause I’m right here, right here, right here, right in my hole

'Cause I’m a digger, I’m a grinner
I am shaggy and I’m no winner
Don’t play my music in the sun

I’m a boozer, I’m a loser
I’m a hiding-chooser
I see my specials on the run

You’re so terrifying though I hardly can see
I really fear your offence, wanna hide, please spare me
Diggin’, hidin’, diggin’, hidin’, diggin’, hidin’ all the time
Whatever, least I’ll have a good time

'Cause I’m a digger, I’m a grinner
I am shaggy and I’m no winner
Don’t play my music in the sun

I’m a boozer, I’m a loser
I’m a hiding-chooser
I have my specials on the run

I wear suspenders, don’t like fighting,
Wear a helmet and prefer hiding
'Cause safety is my second name

I am smelly, have a telly
And a gelly belly
You’ll hardly see me in the game

People don’t really like me in defence
Say I’m doing it wrong
Well, don’t you worry, don’t worry, no, don’ t worry 'bout me
'Cause I’m right in my hole

You’re so terrifyin’ though I hardly can see
I really fear your offence, wanna hide, please spare me
Diggin’, hidin’, diggin’, hidin’, diggin’, hidin’ all the time
Whatever, least I’ll have a good time

'Zat You, Santa Claus?
Raids I’m preparing for some damage sharing,
But I pause because,
Selecting my offence I can feel my sixth sense.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Board is dark out, ain’t the slightest spark out.
Pardon my clackin jaw!
Who’s there? Who is it stopping for a big hit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Are you bringing some presents for me,
Something pleasantly damaging me?
Then it’s not what I’ve been waiting for.
Would you mind slipping and missing your score?
Fenrir is howling, or could that be growling?
My legs feel like straws.
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Selecting my offence I can feel my sixth sence.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who’s there, who is it? Are you stopping for a sure hit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare.
Now stop teasing, still hope you’re not there.
Really believe got good offence today,
So I can’t explain why I’m shaking that way.
Wish I won’t see ole Santa in the fight bowl.
I’ll get to the cause.
True seems what I feared, yeah; oh oh, there’s a beard there!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Please, please, pity my knees!
Say it’s not you, Santa Claus!

@Pike thanks, so kind of you, I actually just nice a little coffee (or beer, or wine) and make the lyrics up on the fly while listening… so each lyric entry, I can do in like 10 minutes!

hahaha awesome work, love how you made the Joker all about poor Morris, LOL that was inspired

You are a natural! :hugs: I do it in a similar way and get the ideas while listening. But then I have to translate large parts back and forth several times, and that takes time. :roll_eyes: I am always afraid that my English will end up being a bit bumpy. :rofl:
I actually had Santa in my drawer for Christmas. But I’ve run into Santa a lot lately in the raids. And I already have an alternative for Christmas. :wink:

Make Me Smile

You’ve done it all, power-creep in the code
And dropped this player to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only lucre - what a bore!
Blue tiles, blue tiles, you only show up once in a while

Pop out the summons, make me smile
Or do what you want, random child.

There’s nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you’ll relax for a while
It’s just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it’s hard to smile
Resist, resist, it’s from f2p you have to hide.

Pop out the summons, make me smile
Or do what you want, random child.

There ain’t no more, you’ve taken everything
From my belief in random chance
How can you ignore my trust in everything
When I know what trust is and where it stands
Away, away, and don’t say maybe you’ll try.

To pop out the summons, make me smile
Or do what you want, random child.

Ooh la Layla, ooh la Layla, ooh la Layla, ooh la Layla, laaa

Pop out the summons, make me smile
Or do what you want, random child.

Ooh la Layla, ooh la Layla, ooh la Layla, ooh la Layla, laaa

Man, frets are REALLY close together on a ukelele. That “solo” was a mess!

@sft1965 I know you’ve been feeling bad lately, this is for you

Crash and Burn

When you feel all hopeless
And RNG has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To let you know you’re not alone

Maybe you feel like the game holds nothing more for you
It’s hard to find relief
And people can be so cold

When rage quitting is upon your door
And you feel like you can’t take anymore

Our ally will come to your call
If you jump we’ll break your fall
Lift you up and remind you that you’re all alright
If you need to fall apart
Let me help you see the light
If you need to crash then crash and burn, you’re not alone

When you hate RNG
And ascension mats are hard to find
You’re caught in a hamster wheel
With your progress stagnating
When troops and heroes are far away
And you feel like you can’t work the boards

Our ally will come to your call
If you jump we’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to take a break
Take all the time you need
If you need to crash then crash and burn, you’re not alone

'Cause there has always been bad boards and luck
And when it’s over you’ll win again
You’ll win again

When you hate RNG
And the boards have turned their backs on you
Just take a moment please
To find the fun again tame

Our ally will come to your call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to take a break
And go find the fun again
If you need to crash then crash and burn, you’re not alone

Our ally will come to your call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to take a break
And go find the fun again
If you need to crash then crash and burn, you’re not alone
(Alone)

Our ally will come yo your call
If you jump we’ll break your fall (You’re not alone)
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night (No, no)
(You’re never alone)
If you need to take a break
We can mend a broken heart (You’re not alone)
If you need to crash then crash and burn, you’re not alone

Our ally will come to your call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to take a break (You’re not alone)
We will mend a broken heart (No, no)
And if you need to crash then crash and burn (You’re never alone)
You’re not alone
Our ally will come to your call
If you jump we’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

Forum’s not the same anymore
Don’t wanna post on here anymore
Place is a better window than a door

All the newbies, they ask for…
They all put me on ignore
Just like the defenders from before

Private chat with a mod,
Sorry boy, I can’t ignore ya
You are strange, but I like you
Sorry, this is overdue
I promised I would do SG right
So I’ll be silencing your posts tonight

And now the door slams shut
The new players all show up
To seek their enemies’ throats cut
I was on and on it, on and on and on it

SG’s on the way, fuel the private jet
Can see that what they want, they get
What of their updates do they regret?

I didn’t know, I didn’t care
I don’t even understand
Did somethin’ wrong, I wasn’t sure
Kept beating on that dead horse
I was afraid, I messed up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I couldn’t change, it’s too late

And now it’s time for you to show up
I’m done for now, I can’t grow up
And now it’s on you, I’ve given up

SG’s house, I can’t salve
Greedy tendencies they have
Your spending went way overboard
Don’t forget, they are insured
I didn’t know, I wasn’t sure
Don’t want to remember all that hell
I couldn’t change, was too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah

This one goes out to my friend and fellow alliance mate, the infamous Mr. Furious. The man with a heart of gold and the temper of a rabid ferret. :laughing: :heart: you buddy. Don’t let the forum keep you down.
