Worms of ages past,
Drowned and killed in the blast.
Burial ground of pink in the sea.
Dying bodies in a heap.
Fallout from a bright red sky.
Didn't you know?
Today's the day you're going to die!

You send your worms to their death.
The rattle of battle until the last breath.
The world on fire and the sound of war.
You keep coming back for more.
Casualties are on the rise.
Your cold heart will be your demise.

Wormers wriggle around in their chairs,
Tapping their keyboards like somebody cares.
Burning through worms like cigarettes,
'Til one team stands up and takes revenge.
No lump in your throat ever felt bigger
Than when you're looking down the barrel of a bazooka.

With the wind, the fighting turns.
A hunger for payback burns.
Don't be fooled by their size,
They've got guns and you're their prize.
From all directions comes a treat.
Exploding sheep, revenge is sweet.

Wormers wriggle around in their chairs,
Tapping their keyboards like somebody cares.
Burning through worms like cigarettes,
'Til one team stands up and takes revenge.
No lump in your throat ever felt bigger
Than when you're looking down the barrel of a bazooka.

A tribute to the Worms series of video games, written in about 2003. To the tune of something like Electric Funeral by Black Sabbath. At some point I switched the order of the first two verses, but now they're back to the order they were initially written in, which is better I think.

Updated on 19/Apr/2008. Now with a chorus of sorts. It gives the song a bit of variety in pace, and extends the idea of the blur between playing the game and being in it.

Thanks, glad to know I could be of stirrence! Just stirred myself up some more author's comments too. Really, it could do with a chorus as epic as the one in the original Wormsong.

I still thought it had that vibe, as if it were the first draft to those anthemic songs.

Hey, you wouldn't mind if I tried putting that to music, would you? I'll let you hear it before I do anything with it, and you'll be fully credited.
I'd be happy to hear what you could do with it!
