24 Earth Years

[Hook]

I don't know, but I've been told I'm about 24 Earth years old

And come my next birthday, it'll be a quarter century

I don't know, but I have heard a gnome from the old world say these words

"Take a look now what the cat dragged in: a red/dead woodpecker and two of my kin"

Back in 1980, we played the AD&D

That game was harder than the Elfstones of Shannara

My character was baffling, a druid, wizard, halfling

On top of that he was master of psionic powers

Bring on the hordes, we have the sword

That smote the Goblin of Gygaxnor

Pray that the sisters name us as victors

Of the twenty sided die, yeah

[Hook]

Long ago in Middle Earth

A man could measure all his worth

By his blade and by his staff

And by the runes on his epitaph

Go mount your horse and ride up north

To seek the Baron of the Frozen Berg

Ask for assistance in the resistance

Of the twenty sided die

[Hook]

Saw Mazes and Monsters, Tom Hanks completely bonkers

He spoke what he doth speaketh in Elizabethan

Sad lad, he really couldn't handle starting from scratch on the very first level

But he died the death of a warrior

A legend grows yearly by way of local psalm

The bishop and castle move in defense of pawns

I'm rolling, I'm tumbling a twenty sided die

A legend grows yearly by way of local psalm
