A couple of Fire Emblem songs

[noillacspaR]

To the tune of "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden:

You take my life but I’ll take yours too

You fire your crossbow but I’ll run you through

I use a brave axe for the dual attack

But without canto there’s no turning back

The bugle sounds, the map begins

But on this battlefield Daein wins

The sound of Thani tomes and horses’ breath

As I plunge on into certain death

Oooooooooh!

Oooooooooh!

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run

The mighty roar of the sub-humans

And as they race towards our castle wall

The beeping sound as my hit points fall

They fly up ledges from the castle ground

Commander Ike then sends another round

They get so near yet so far away

They won't live to fight another day.

Oooooooooh!

Oooooooooh!

They get so close near enough to fight

3-13 archer gets them in his sights

Lets loose the arrow and I see the blow

The hawk falls down to the ground below.

And as I stand there having beaten Ike

I look back and reflect on this map I like

Promoted Nolan, Jill and Edward too

Those who can’t; I’m just better than you

To the tune of "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel:

So you wanna be a Trueblade

In Radiant Dawn

Are your growths high in strength, skill and speed

If not then you’re gone

Can you move seven squares to attack all your foes

If you need to

Can you hit, can you dodge

Can you crit, and double when you need to?

Well, you might as well quit

If you haven't got it

So you wanna be a Trueblade

Did you get luck blessed?

I can tell you've got it in you

I've trained the best

When you work and you sweat

And you gain 5 levels in just one map

Then you near lose your mind

When you get one hit killed and you shout “crap!”

So you might as well quit

If you haven't got it.

Put him on the map, Ike

Look at how he’s grown

Stealing all the kills, Ike

Guess we shoulda known

We’ll show him the ropes

And destroy his hopes

Put him on the map, Ike

Give the guy a chance

Let him feel the sting, Ike

Stab him with a lance

We'll pulp him to bits

Then he'll call it quits for sure, Ike

So you wanna be a Trueblade

Wanna climb the tower

There's a top killer inside you

At your peak power

If you double and you crit

There's some exp you can earn and defend here

When you get a master crown

You're a king not a clown

A contender

But you might as well quit

If you haven't got it

Put him on the map, Ike

Something new to hit

Let me have a swing, Ike

He’ll answer with a crit

He’s just much too swift

We can’t catch his drift

Put him on the map, Ike

Chicken a la carte

Put him up a gap, Ike

Tear laguz apart

The laguz will strike

Let me have them Ike

To the tune of "American Pie" by Don Mclean:

A long, long time ago, I can still remember how I was so weak at level 1.

And I knew if I beat up Boyd, Greil would make sure I was employed and then he would begin to teach his son.

But then the Black Knight killed my daddy, became a recurring baddy.

And then before dad's last breath, I swore I'd avenge his death.

When I told Titania that he'd died, she went into the woods and cried.

And something touched me deep inside the day my father died.

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

As we left upon our trip, we were blocked from getting to our ship, by a group of Daein foes.

Now in this troubled time of strife with our fate balanced upon a knife then of course that’s when the Black Knight shows.

Well he moved forwards at a slow walk, towards the ship moored at the dock.

I told my men to run; well I knew nothing could be done!

I was a lonely teenage orphaned lord with a wanted princess and a Regal Sword; I knew the Knight must be ignored the day my father died.

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

Now for one year, we've been questing on and we got some help from great Begnion and now we’re taking back our land

Her retainers want to meet our liege but they’re in a castle under siege so the princess orders us to give a hand

Oh and while we surged to the fort’s mouth, the Black Knight appeared to the south

When battle was adjourned, my attacks were duly spurned

And he told me of the holy blade that a smith of ancient times had made that I’d found there in the forest glade the day my father died

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

Helter skelter in a summer swelter. The Black Knight dwelt in Gaddos’ shelter.

Seven chests here filled with dough, Soren thinks he’s in the know

He wants to tell me not to go but I know I’ve really got to beat this foe

Mist joins me in the Black Knight’s room and combined we send him to his doom

The castle starts to fall, oh now we must escape this hall

After leaving the collapsing fort I saw a shape in the castle’s port

‘Twas a Knight of the most eldritch sort the day my father died

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

Oh and three years later came a war, caused by an event all abhor

When the senate burned the heron’s wood

Ranulf told me the Black Knight had moved once more in public sight

And I knew he’d face me when he could

Oh and as I waged this racial war, and wandered what the deaths were for

The Daein army’s boss endured a crushing loss

And as Ranulf looked up to the sky, he saw a flash out of his right eye

The goddess said the end was nigh the day the planet died

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

And as we climbed the guiding tower, I felt a presence of great power

Encased in eldritch, black plate mail

I grabbed my sacred blade Ragnell and I sent Zelgius off to hell, but he told me make sure your quest doesn’t fail

We fought the mighty dragon king and a man who hated everything

We had to slay the goddess, despite her fetching bodice

And as I struck the final blow, I knew then it was time to go to places noone else would know the day the goddess died

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

So bye, bye greatest swordsman Gawain

Though Lehran’s Medallion once drove you completely insane

And you hired Volke to be your personal bane

Then you were cruelly slain, then you were cruelly slain

Hope you enjoyed them, it's a fun way to pass the time
