We Didn't Start The Training

We Didn't Start The Training
(to the tune of We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel)


Sargeant Slate, giant rats, Priest of Discord, a large bat,
Wasp drones, orcs pawns, Ambassador D'Vinn,
Erud's Crossing, South Ro, Butcherblock and Highpass Hold,
Hailing all the guards and falling off in Kelethin.

Wizard spires and druid ports, Gnome punting, other sports,
Mayong Mistmoore shows up once and never seen again,
Getting lost in Everfrost, need a SoW so what's the cost?
Froglok King in Lower Guk, Lady Vox and Nagafen.

CHORUS:
We didn't start the training,
It was always forming with the critters spawning,
We didn't start the training,
Well we didn't start it, but we tried to park it.

New expansion, look at this, Lizardmen in Cabilis,
Epic Quests, they're the best, Grandmaster Glox,
Howling Stones, Field of Bone, Venril Sathir in his home,
V-P quest key digging under rocks.

Ragefire KS, LoIO starts the express,
Dreadlands, Child's Tear, Plane of Air and Plane of Fear,
Talendor, Gorenaire, Trakanon waiting in his lair,
Dragons dead, Trunt's head, trouble in the Overthere.

Chorus

Thurgadin, Lord Bob, new spells, new mob,
Tormax, Yelinak, King Dain, Sontalak,
Yeldema, Klandicar, Del Separa, Harla Dar,
Kromzek, Coldain, giant faction once again.

Runnyeye revamp, Everquest is Evercamp,
Vindicator, 10th War, Ratmen, Garzicor,
Sleeper's Tomb, Velium, First brood talismans,
Kael raid, careful, Wuoshi at the portal.

Chorus

New class, new race, Vah Shir, new place,
Beastlord, Wild Lord, AA point overload,
Farming for Acrylia, Merchant trading mania,
Echo Caverns, Twilight Sea, timesinks, VT key,
Epics now not the best, VT loot beats the rest,
Ragefire KS every day, what else do I have to say?

Chorus

New UI, Jagged Pine, Cazic-Thule is back again,
Solusek, Rallos Zek, PoP is breathing down our necks,
Nerf bat, Manaburn, wonder who's the next turn,
Tier one, tier two, Grummus, Gryme and Terris Thule.

Camp stealing, KEI, lower rezzes when you die,
Shissar snakes, vampire stakes, noobs, trains, smoking breaks,
EQ2 is on the wall, need another upgrade sure,
Rock and roller system wars, I can't take it anymore!

We didn't start the training,
It was always forming with the critters spawning,
We didn't start the training,
But when we are gone,
Will it still run on, and on, and on, and on, and on........

After doing One Week, I totally couldn't resist writing this. It took me 3 full days locked into allakhazam.com looking up names, places, events, all the stuff that Billy Joel put into the original. Keeping the scansion was the hardest part. I sang it instead of Barq because (IIRC) he decided he didn't want to put that much effort into learning all those words

One EQ expansion per verse... Which dates the song, eh?

(Just like the original. Funny, that)
