The Gamer’s Quagmire #24: WoW Soundtrack Entry

The Gamer’s Quagmire: 24th Edition
- Jamison DeLorenzo

Admittedly last week’s holiday gave me a little too much free time for gaming. As it usually happens one of my late-night gaming binges has led me to create another song in homage to World of Warcraft. This time, although I believe I nailed the lyrics cold, I can’t say I’m proud of from where I nabbed the derivative work. That is an exercise left for the reader. If you’re willing to put up with it I highly recommend playing this song in the background while going through the words here. The imagery of rogues with the accompanying background was way too funny for me not to write this.

(So basically what I’m saying is that you can blame this song on a massive caffeine intake… and my forthcoming civil lawsuit is probably well-deserved)

——————-

Strike a mob
Strike a mob
Rogue, Rogue, Rogue
Rogue, Rogue, Rogue

Look around everywhere you turn are pockets
They’re everywhere that you go [look around]
You try everything you can to escape
Using the powder that you stow [powder that you stow]

You love to steal because you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It’s called Ravenholdt, and here’s what it’s for, so

Come on, Rogue
Let your daggers move really fluid [move really fluid]
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Rogue
Let your body go into stealth [go into stealth]
You know you can do it

All you need is your own imagination
So use it that’s what it’s for [that's what it's for]
Go inside, practice your art of deception
Your tools will open the door [open up the door]

It makes no difference if you’re troll or elf
If you’re an orc or a gnome
If the blood’s flowing it will give you new life
You’re invisible, yes, that’s what you are, you know it

Come on, Rogue
Let your daggers move really fluid [move really fluid]
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Rogue
Let your body go into stealth [go into stealth]
You know you can do it

Money’s where you find it
Not just where you try to grind it
Foes are in the battlegrounds
That’s where I feel so invincible
Magical, you slow fall
So get on back to Ravenholdt

Come on, Rogue
Let your daggers move really fluid [move really fluid]
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Rogue
Let your body go into stealth [go into stealth]
You know you can do it

Rogue, [Rogue]
Money’s where you find it [move really fluid]
Rogue, [Rogue]
Money’s where you find it [go into stealth]

Cheap Shot and Garrote
Ambush and off I go
Sinister Strike, Eviscerate scheme
Just perfect in a sword users’ dream

Mind-numbing, Instant, clean
Weapons in a shade of green
Seal Fate, Cold Blooded stare
Slice and Dice, attack with flare

They have style, they have grace
Epic hammers, spec for mace
Dagger, Kidney Shot, Backstab too
Having stunlock, we own you

Assassins with an attitude
Ninjas that steal all the loot
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it
Strike a mob, there’s nothing to it

Rogue, Rogue

Oooh, you’ve got to
Let your daggers move really fluid
Oooh, you’ve got to just
Let your body go into stealth
Oooh, you’ve got to

Rogue
