The Bad Ritual

First there was a town on a river
It was oh so beautiful and grand
Everyone came to see it
They could not have enough of it
Made them all envious
It was quite obvious
Then comes the enemies seething and raging
Eager to leave nothing and no one standing

They did a bad ritual
The bad ritual
That poisons everything
And kills everything
And leaves no one standing

Second there was a big forest
And it was so truly the best
Lots of magic
Lots of public
Everyone came to see it
They could not have enough of it
Made them all envious
It was quite obvious
Then comes the enemies seething and raging
Eager to leave nothing and no one standing

They did a bad ritual
The bad ritual
That poisons everything
And kills everything
And leaves no one standing

Third there was a town on a river
Build back much better and much grander
The enemies did not come back to see it
Our soldiers went to them and warned them off it
Still they were envious
It was quite obvious
So they called our Dark mages seething and raging
Still eager to leave nothing and no one standing

They did a bad ritual
The bad ritual
That poisons everything
And kills everything
And leaves no one standing

Oh but this time our soldiers ran and came
Our soldiers fought and it was not the same
Part of the city lived
Part of the people thrived
But the Dark mages fled
And them a Dark Lord led

Fourth there was a town up in the mountain
Fertile with warm ashes and no complain
The enemies did not come to see it
But the Dark mages cleverly did it
They sent much magic
It was quite tragic
They wanted to blow it
Make lava cover it

They did a bad ritual
The bad ritual
That poisons everything
And kills everything
And leaves no one standing

Oh but this time our soldiers ran and came
Our soldiers fought and it was not the same
Part of the city lived
Part of the people thrived
But the Dark mages fled
And them a Dark Lord led

Fifth there was again a town on a river
Build back much much better and much much grander
The enemies and Dark mages are so angry
They want to eat it destroy it so badly
And its turn is back next
If you forget this text
