Rotten Zombie Breath

- Marak


Apologies to Jethro Tull, and to you, the poor forum-goer who's going to read this.
***Disclaimer: I was inspired to write this Filk after re-reading the MT:tC Side Story. As such, I was limited to a narrow focus for most of the lyrics and some of them come off as being out-of-synch.***
Since this is my first Filk, I'll will ask you - in the words of Dom - to "please be gentle".
*Ahem* Here goes...

Undead shuffling madness
with rotten zombie Breath
Falls the putrid R.A.V.E.R.
Headlong to its death
Oh, we see brave Dreagos standing
Spent casings strike the ground
"Good thing I hid more ammo!"
But the R.A.V.E.R.s don't stop coming
No, they won't slow down (oooh, no)

We see our heroes fight them off
The undead fall, one by one
Psieye, Meagan, Draegos
Outnumbered, on the run
Oh, they're sprinting down the corridor
R.A.V.E.R.s nip their heels
Lara Croft mode gives her ammo
But the R.A.V.E.R.s don't stop coming
No, they won't slow down (hey, hey)

The R.A.V.E.R.s keep on howling
Surrounded in a maze of halls
Cue the Meagan plushie
And Draegos saves them all
Oh, she turns back into Miho
Out the door they run
The deadies can't stand the sunlight
And the R.A.V.E.R.s can't keep going
No, they must stop now
No, they must stop now
No, they must stop now
No, they must stop now
No, they must stop now
No, they must stop now...

Locomotive Breath
by Jethro Tull

In the shuffling madness
Of locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, the feels the pistons scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down (oh, ooh)

He sees his children jumping off
At stations, one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down (hey, hey)

He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page one
I think God he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
