Curse

I copied these off of those carolers in the major cities, and thought it would be cool to share with you all. Below are both carols from Grenth and Dwayna. I'd also like to add that i've corrected the spelling (glares at Anet) in some of the carols that were written. Even then, some of the lines have too many syllables, but I didn't want to change the wording too much. Anyway^^.

So come on everyone, get into the spirit of Wintersday, and however you want to spread the joyful warmth, or bitterful cold, let's sing!

Carolers of Grenth:

Deathly Chills (Jingle Bells)

Chorus:
Deathly Chills, Deathly Chills,
All on Wintersday.
Oh what fun it is to Hex, and raise minions while you slay hey! (x2)

Dashing through the gates,
Our opponents we will slay,
To the flag stand we will go,
Laughing all the way, ha ha ha!
Our Hexed foes how they'll die,
Making minions rise,
Oh what fun it is to kill another Guild Lord tonight!

We Wish You a Frigid Winter (We Wish You a Merry Christmas)

We wish you a frigid winter,
We wish you a frigid winter,
We wish you a frigid winter, and a curs-ed next year.

Cold tidings we bring to you and your kin,
Cold tidings for Winter and for a curs-ed next year.

Oh bring us some rotting corpses,
Oh bring us some rotting corpses,
Oh bring us some rotting corpses, and a sacrificed deer.

We wont go until we get some,
We wont go until we get some,
We wont go until we get some, so bring it right now.

We wish you a frigid winter,
We wish you a frigid winter,
We wish you a frigid winter, and a curs-ed next year.

Grenth Rest You Angry Necro Monks (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

Grenth rest ye, angry Necro Monks,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Grenth our merciless lord,
Will come on Wintersday,
To save us all from Dwayna's power,
So we can go astray.

Chorus:
O Soul Reaping, Minions and Barbs,
Minions and barbs,
O Soul Reaping, Minions and Barbs.

The Twelve Days of Wintersday (The Twelve Days of Christmas)

Final Verse:
On the final day of Wintersday, lord Grenth gave to me;
Twelve wells of suffering,
Eleven lords a wailing,
Ten necrid horsemen,
Nine Spiteful Spirits,
Eight souls a reaping,
Seven rotting corpses,
Six globs of ectoplasm,
Five priiimeviiiiiiil rings,
Four grasping ghosts,
Three bone fiends,
Two soul barbs,
And a rotscale in a dead tree.

Carolers of Dwayna

O Dreary Town of Droknar's Forge (O Little Town of Bethlehem)

O dreary town of Droknar's Forge,
You lie in Winter's grasp,
Until Dwayna sings,
To break Grenth's icy grasp.
Yet hidden in dark corners,
The Grenchies take away,
The gifts and toys of Girls and Boys,
To help the Winter stay.

For Grenth is always watching,
And plotting in the night,
His pranks and schemes the Winter brings,
The darkness and the fright.
But Dwayna is a bastion,
Against the dark and cold,
Her love and grace, Her warm embrace,
Will make the Spring unfold.

We Three Kings of Ancient Orr Are (We Three Kings of Orient Are)

We three kings of Ancient Orr are,
Bearing news, we traverse afar,
Over mountains, but, who's countin',
Following Dwayna's Star... OoooOOOOOH

Chorus:
Star of Thunder, Star of Light,
Star that brings and end to Night,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Lions Arch.

Gods warm ye Elementalists (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

Gods warm ye Elementalists,
Let nothing you ignite,
For Dwayna's bringing Springtime soon,
To end the long, cold night.
To save us all from Grentch's tricks,
And do whats pure and right.

Chorus:
Oh tidings of Dwayna and Light,
Dwayna and Light,
O tidings of Dwayna and Liiiiiiiight.

Please Put a Gold Coin in the Old Man's Hat (Please Put a Penny in the Old Man's Hat)

Wintersday is coming,
The White Mantle are getting fat.
Please put a gold coin,
In the Old Man's hat.
If you haven't got a coin,
Half a coin of gold will do.
If you havent got half a coin,
Dwayna's blessings be with you.

Deck Guild Halls (Deck The Halls)

Verse 1:
Deck Guild Halls with boughs of holly - fa la la la loo, da doo doo doo,
Wintersday is oh so jolly - fa la la la lay, da day day day,
Don we now our scant apparel - fa la lo, fa lo doh, la lo doh,
More skin makes for better carols - fa la la la lee da dee dee dee.

Verse 2:
See the flaming pit before us - fa la la la loo, da doo doo doo,
Light a torch and join this chorus -fa la la la lay, da day day day,
Let me take your merry measure - fa la lo, fa la doh, la lo doh,
I don't mind, it is my pleasure - Fa la la la lee, da dee dee dee.

Verse 3:
Finally the old year passes - fa la la la loo, da doo doo doo,
Dwayna's back, Grenth she harasses - fa la la la lay, da day day day,
This last year was quite a long one - fa la lo, fa la doh, la lo doh,
We can't wait to start the new one - fa la la la loooooooo, da... doo... doooo... DOOOOOOOO.

Happy Wintersday Everyone.

I think the one you didn't know the name is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and good job on this, was a fun read.

EDIT: someone beat me to it =/

There's one there you seem to have missed; maybe they don't have it this year.

I waited for hours gathering songs and watched them as they repeated it. But I did notice that Grenth has 1 song less than Dwayna, so that might be the one thats not there.
