"Arborea"

[Alfred Rhazi]

I made a song parodying Rhianna's "Disturbia" (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9vYwF28qsAg). Technically, it's a tribute to my favourite level in an obscure computer game. I missed out the innecessant "bum-bum-be-dum"s etc. from my writeup because I didn't think they were important.

--------------------

You can't hide, you can't run,
Here's what it all boils down to:
The battle will be won,
But probably not by you.
Might as well have some fun,
And maybe try something new,
Or else you're fighting in vain . . .

It's a sequence of lies,
That can infect you,
They can cloud up your eyes,
And misdirect you,
So you seek out a guise,
That will make them true;
I feel oh so hunted.

And then you realise,
That the feeling is divine,
So you decide,
To just try and hold the line,
No, don't think twice,
Because there simply isn't time,
Yeah, make,
One mistake,
And you die!

My heart's in Arborea!
It's like Kobayashi Maru.*
Arborea!
And you don't know what to do.
Arborea!
It's the whole world versus you.
Arborea!
Arborea!

Enemy's gaining ground,
What strength I have is going:
It's as bad as it sounds,
And all the worse for knowing,
I better give in,
'Cause I know I can't win,
But I won't surrender, no . . .

It's a sequence of lies,
That can infect you,
They can cloud up your eyes,
And misdirect you,
So you seek out a guise,
That will make them true;
I feel oh so wanted.

'Cause now I realise,
That the feeling is divine,
So I decide,
To just try and hold the line,
I won't think twice,
Because there simply isn't time,
Yeah, make,
One mistake,
And you die!

My heart's in Arborea!
It's like Kobayashi Maru.*
Arborea!
And you don't know what to do.
Arborea!
It's the whole world versus you.
Arborea!
Arborea!

Then the smoke clears, and I'm still alive.
I can't believe I somehow survived.
The first thought on my mind is the counterattack;
Think it's time to hit those bastards baa-aack!

*This is the geekiest reference ever (I got it through Popcultural Osmosis, not actual interest in the source, FYI). To explain it would make you break out in acne and suddenly put on twenty pounds. Just take my assurance that I'm not making words up.
