This thread was inspired by user: Cosmo Yawn.
Lets all work together to make the song in Offtopic version. [b]Each person take a segment and do your best. I will post the best segments in order.[/b]
These are the lyrics:
[spoiler]I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh oh oh oh ohh oh [x5]
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world[/spoiler]
Viva La Offtopic(W.I.P)
[spoiler]I used to rule the Flood
Threads would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I browse alone
Lurk the groups I used to own
I used to roll the memes
Make the Ninjas everywhere scream
Readin' as the crowd shitposts
Now the old users are dead, long live Bungie
One minute I held the key
Next the forums closed down to me
And I realized that my old threads stand
On mountains of salt, they got me banned
I hear my notifications ringing
Lame ringtones are brightly singing
Be my alt, shitpost, and shield
Desticles comin' from a foreign field
For many reasons they can't explain
The Ninjas' bans all read my name
Hardly ever a worthy post
That was the Offtopic I loved the most
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let Deej in
News of DLC beat like a drum
People couldn't believe what Destiny has become
Revolutionaries wait
For Ktan's head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who ever let Activi$ion be king?

Edited by Cazberry Pie: 6/22/2016 1:35:26 PMFor those making new verses- The most important part to make it flow well is make sure each line has the same amount of syllables corresponding to the line in the original song. "I used to rule Bnet" [b]does[/b] work because it has the same amount of syllables as "I used to rule the world" Unless, of course, you're saying it differently. I say it as "bee-net". Sing it like you would sing the original song. After you stop trying words that have too many syllables, you'll find it's much easier to make a smooth line. Just some words of advice. [spoiler]Also note- Grammar isn't as important in a song. If you need to edit out a "the", "are" or something like that to make it flow, go for it. If it makes absolutely no sense however, better think of something else.[/spoiler]
