BATTLE OF THE NECROPOLIS METROPOLIS

Now, the Sect of the Necropolis had built up quite a town,
And the Magus told the Guildsmen that we hadda knock it down.
It was way inside our territory, dug in a hill,
And he asked if we would burn it, and we said, Yessir, we WILL!

They gave us each a chariot and sent us on the trip,
And we tol' the little drivers to go heavy on the whip.
We took a Storm Golem and some Demi-Magus, too,
And we took along an Imp so we could throw him in the stew.

We got outside the city and set up the battle lines
And they watched us from the gatehouse like the bats inside the mines.
We lined 'em up and dressed the ranks and how the armor shone,
We were ready to go at the Sect like hounds onto a bone.

We fired our guns and the Nightblades kept a comin?
But with less leather than they had a turn ago.
We fired in formation and the Zombies started runnin,
Dropping arms and legs and other parts along the road.

The gunners and the crossbowmen were flying overhead,
Sprinkling some damage in the city of the Dead,
Just about sunset we heard the critters howl,
And Screeching Terrors circled us like some demonic fowl

The Seething Knights came at us first, the honor was all theirs,
The rest were boiling out the gates like vermin from their lairs.
The Necromancer strode the walls, he wasn?t even scared,
But we saw the wall was just as close to us as he would dare.

The Technomancer said that we could take 'em by su'prise
If we didn't fire our guns off till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well
Then we opened up a round or two and really gave 'em ... Well

We fired our guns but the Skeletons kept comin'
Bullets bouncing off their ribs sounds like a xylophone.
We fired in formation, and Grave Robbers started runnin,
Dropping arms and legs and other parts along the road.

Yeah, they ran thru the trees and they ran thru the bushes,
And they ran thru the crypts where a sane man wouldn't go,
They ran into places where we didn't want to catch 'em
But when the sun came up, then we could set the final blow.

We fired so many charges that the Magestones melted down,
Then we took apart a Golem and we fired another round.
We put Vlaad out of Order and the Banshee gave a wail,
The Necromancer turned and ran and we were on his tail.

Oh, we chased him thru the swamp and we chased him thru the marshes,
And we chased him thru the mud and stuff we'd still don't wanna see.
We chased him so far that even we couldn't find us,
I think we even ran across the waves upon the sea.

We caught him up at last and he turned around to face us,
We knew he could still beat us with the force at his command.
Our Blade Golem cut him into bite sized portions
And we set a piece of him in every crypt across the land

We fired our guns but the Shades kept a comin'
Bullets going thru them right into the ranks behind
We fired in formation, and the King of Dead went runnin'
Right into the woods where the Guardsmen were aligned...

Yeah, they ran thru the trees and they ran thru the bushes,
And they ran thru the crypts where a sane man wouldn't go,
They ran into places where we didn't want to catch 'em
But then the sun went down, and we could watch the fires glow....
