Curse

The Carolers for Grenth and Dwayna are singing some pretty funny stuff. If you guys help me record the lyrics, I'll edit this note to make it more complete. (Thanks to Psychotron for being the first one in!) Here's the little I have so far, and there may well be errors in that. (By the way, does anybody need links to the original songs these are based on?)

Based on We Wish You A Merry Christmas (Grenth)
O bring us some rotting corpses
Oh bring us some rotting corpses
Oh bring us some rotting corpses
And a sacrificed deer

We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
So bring them right here

Cold tidings to you ….

We wish you ….
And a curs-ed next year

Based on 12 days of Christmas (Grenth)

12 wells of suffering
11 lords a wailing
10 necrid horsemen
9 spiteful spirits
8 souls a reaping
7 rotting corpses
6 globs of ectoplasm
5 priiimeviiiiiil kings
4 grasping ghouls
[no 3]
2 soul barbs
and a rotscale in a dead tree

Based on God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Grenth)
Grenth rest you angry necro monks let nothing you dismay
…… (Wintersday?)
To save us all from Dwayna’s power that we may go astray

O soul reaping, minions, and barbs
Minions and barbs
O soul reaping, minions, and barbs

Based on Deck The Halls (Dwayna)
…….

Don we now scanty apparel
Falala etc.

More skin makes for better carols
Falala etc.

(Something about taking your measure)
Falala etc.

(Something about that being a pleasure)
Falala etc.

Finally the old year passes
Falala etc.

Dwayna’s back, she Grenth harasses
Falala etc.

This last year was quite a long one
Falala etc.

(Something about good wishes for the next one)

Based on Jingle Bells (Grenth)

Dashing through the snow
In a necrid horseman sleigh ???
O'er the hills we go
Slaying all in our way, HA HA HA

Our hexed foes they will die
Making minions rise
What fun it is to kill another Guild Lord tonight, OH!

Deathly Chills Deathly Chills...

We Three Kings (Dwayna)

We three kings of ancient Orr are
Bearing news, we traverse afar
Over mountains, but who's countin'
Following Dwayna's star OoooOOOOH!

Star of thunder, star of light
Star that brings an end to night
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Lions Arch

Thanks! Keep 'em coming, people!

Woutsie · Jan 04, 2006, 11:31 AM // 11:31

Do they actually sing it? Or does the text come up in balloons?

Malchior Devenholm · Jan 04, 2006, 11:49 AM // 11:49

Balloon text, you have to follow the lyrics and guess the rhythm of the song on your own...so if you aint musical you might miss some of them

Viruzzz · Jan 04, 2006, 12:01 PM // 12:01

theres one of the dwyanna songs for you. i'll see if i can do some of the other ones later.

any idea if the songs vary from place to place? (ei. different ones in droknars forge compared to Lions Arch)

Cjlr · Jan 04, 2006, 03:13 PM // 15:13

What about the lyrics for those humming caroler guys in Ascalon City?

Malchior Devenholm · Jan 04, 2006, 10:05 PM // 22:05

i believe all carolers sing the same songs, just takes em a while to get started...

sledgeunderhill · Jan 04, 2006, 11:19 PM // 23:19

I noticed the scanty apparel line one morning and then spent 4 hours chasing presents and looking at the carolers to catch them singing it again. Suffice to say, I didn't see the phrase again. I applaud your ability to screenshot the whole song.

Inureface · Jan 04, 2006, 11:35 PM // 23:35

LMAO I love the jingles bell parody. I gotta sing that in my class tomorrow, the few guys who play GW will know exactly who necrid horsemen are ^_^

Two April Mornings · Jan 04, 2006, 11:42 PM // 23:42

this is great...i jsut wish they made sound when they sing

I've never seen this done before, did you drag the cursor too low when you copy pasted or something?

(About not seeing a number 3 in that song, I didnt either, mustve been a bug)

JMFD · Jan 06, 2006, 02:59 AM // 02:59

I have another from dwayna in Ascalon.

We three kings of ancient orr are
Bearing news, we traverse afar
Over mountains, but who's countin'
Following Dwayna's star OoooOOOOH!

Star of thuder, star of light
Star that brings an end to night
Westward leading, still proceeding

ROFL-I haven't seen this one yet, and for all who dont know, the original is "We Three Kings" a common Christian Christmas carol

i was waiting for dwayna/grenth to show up in LA and i caught that before they did. i was taking screenies as i saw new things appear.

Malchior Devenholm · Jan 06, 2006, 11:48 AM // 11:48

*confirmed* it is a bug, there is no day #3 in Grenth's 12 days of Wintersday

Francis Crawford · Jan 07, 2006, 01:28 AM // 01:28

Thanks re the 11 days!

Meanwhile, I only have a few for "We Three ... of Ancient Orr Are" and even fewer for the Dwayna carol based on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (only song I know that was filked for both Dwayna and Grenth).
