Grey Hawk Hero (with apologies to Foreigner)

Standing in the rain, in the Greyhawk wars
daydreams of adventure, in the tomb of horrors.
Heard a roar and a growl, he could picture the scene
Lifts his ear to the wind, and hears a distant scream

Battle cry of Al'Akbar, just blew him away
He saw war in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a rusted up katar, from a Fashtri store
Didn't know how to weild it, but he knew for sure

That one katar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one katar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started 'hawkin!
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep Greyhawkin'
Gonna chant his name in Rhop!

And be a Grey Hawk hero, the wars in his eyes
He's a Grey Hawk hero (wars in his eyes)
He's got one qatar, Grey Hawk hero, stars in his eyes
Grey Hawk hero, he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by a tavern's back door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one katar, made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep hawkin'
He just can't stop!
Gotta keep Greyhawkin'
Gotta hear his praise in Rhop!

And be a Greyhawk hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a Greyhawk hero, gots Vecna's hand and his eye
Yeah, a Greyhawk hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one katar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep hawkin'
He's got no fear
Gotta keep Greyhawkin'
He's the pride of all Ekbir!

A Grey Hawk hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a Grey Hawk hero (Vecna's hand and his eye!)
Just one katar, his star on the rise
He's just a Grey Hawk hero, aah aah aah
Grey Hawk hero, Grey Hawk hero, from Oerth to the skies,
Oerth to the skies...

Chatdemon has many skills we were not aware of, or he's slowly being taken over by his bard.
That was excellent Chatdemon, way cool, two thumbs up.

As the newly appointed Canonfire Staff member, it's been relegated to me to convey to you, those who've read this, our deepest, most humblest apologies. Chatdemon will be summararily shot, repeatedly, for this travesty.

Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience and pain this has caused you and would like to assure you that the perpetrator is being dealt with in the most harshest of manners.

From the Canonfire Staff, we sincerely hope you can continue with your lives as normally as possible from this day forward.


:D :D K

Chatdemon, you need some rest. I just hope Delgath was sincere about that post.
Reminds me of an issue of Dragon Magazine called Bard on the run. That's exactly what I did when I viewed that horried article and I will now advert my eyes from this post before any further damage could be done to my retina's.

I wonder how many visitors to these boards were born after "Juke Box Hero" came out.
