The Voyage of the Damned

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
Started at spring Crown oh eight
Jason won the day, and it started off well
But it’s a Voyage Damned by Fate
A Voyage Damned by Fate

The problems started off with Spike
But he really wasn’t to blame
Cause Spike has an evil twin named Stripe
And the Gremlins entered the game

So Loki and Murphy and Stripe sat down
Said “we haven’t really tried
To put the hex on a kingdom’s reign
We’ve really let things slide,
We’ve REALLY let this slide!

Then Murphy said “there’s a hurricane
Comin’ crawlin’ up the coast
Coronation’s there, this is war, it’s fair
We’ll see who wants what the most,
Me an’ Loki want this most!

We’ll get it there
At the perfect time
To ruin
Their big day
This weekend sux, lost sixty bucks
And Hanna missed any-way!

The reign began, the disaster ran
Ran on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on.
And on and on and on.

And just when things couldn’t get much worse
Double booked the site for Crown
We’re in this crap up to our necks
If it got any deeper we’d drown
Got no paddles, and we’ve drowned

You’d THINK that that would be enough
But Murphy had some more
Rollin’ up the bed full of ticks! My head
Is hot and tired and sore
It’s expletive deleted sore!

That’s it, we’re screwed and things have got
As bad as they can get
But we’ve got SIX MORE DAMN MONTHS TO GO!
And it isn’t over yet,
The nightmare’s not quite over yet

SOOOOOO sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
To be told throughout the land
Of Gertie and Jase and their Viking ways
On the Voyage of the Damned
The Voyage of the Damned

With Jason Kinslae
Gerthilde too
The lawyer king
And his squires
They’re all aboard
The Viking Horde
On The Voyage of the Damned!
