...but I have to share my little bit of adaption with you all.

The Original

...and now I present to you my version of Blood on the Risers for the WoW Raider:

Blood on the Warlock

He was just a rookie warlock and he did not know the strat,
He checked off all his buffs and made sure where the raid was at
He had to sit and listen to that awful pre-fight talk
“He ain’t gonna raid no more!”

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

"Is everybody Ready?" cried the Main Tank looking up,
Our Hero feebly answered "Yes," and then he stood on up;
He ran off at the first mob, the tank had not pulled yet,
And he ain't gonna raid no more.

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

He sounded off, he sounded loud, he waited for the heals,
He felt the blows, he felt the dots, he felt the awful steel,
He screamed for help, the healers looked, and damage laughed out loud,
And he ain't gonna raid no more.

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

The demon ripped his armor up, lightning cracked his dome,
He thought about his mommy as he ran away alone;
His tabard was his diaper; as he crapped into his pants.
And he ain't gonna raid no more.

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind,
He thought about the gnome back home, the one he'd left behind;
He thought about the healers and he wondered what they'd find,
And he ain't gonna raid no more.
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

The paladin was on the spot, the priests were running wild,
The druids jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled,
For it had been a week or more since last a ‘lock had failed,
And he ain't gonna raid no more.

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat!," his blood went spurting high,
His comrades then were heard to say: "A hell of a way to die!"
He lay there sobbing at his corpse, the graveyard far away,
And he ain't gonna raid no more.

Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

(slowly, solemnly)
There was blood upon his tabard, there were brains upon his loot,
Intestines were a'dangling from his Balespider’s suit,
He was a mess, they picked him up, and poured him from his boots,
And he ain't gonna raid no more

Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He ain't gonna raid no more!

Having spent 10 years in the Army as an Airborne Infantryman, I can say I am one of the few people on these boards that not only knows "Blood Upon the Risers" but has had occasion to sing it IRL on a number of occasions. It thought it was hilarious, good job.

No Kidding Filter! That is pretty cool. I was a bit worried about offending with it, as the Original is comedic in nature, but definitely about a serious topic. Glad to know you were laughing. I was inspired to write it as for some strange reason the group I raid with tends to sing into vent. I was getting sick of hearing the My Little Pony theme song.
