I am not sure if I already posted this on here, if not here y'all go. Tell me what y'all think.
‘Twas the eve of a massacre, and all through the dark The Drow were all plotting, Menzoberranzan their mark. The armor and swords were all polished with care In the hopes they would catch the Drow city all unawares.
The dark elves of Chaulssin were all rested and fed While thoughts of dead Priestesses danced in their heads. Radu in his chainmail and Lord Drak’ul with his mask Were more than ready and able to take on this task.
While in House Baenre, the Council schemed and waited. Matron Triel was nervous and unsure what was fated. The Spider Queen had gone silent, the city open to attack, Menzoberranzan had many enemies, with revenge to exact.
On the hour of battle, with no power to fight. Many of Lloth’s Children were ready for flight. As one came Chaulssin’s army, with Drak’ul at their head. The Menzoberranzyr ran screaming and many fell dead.
The battle raged on, Menzoberranzan nearly won. When out of nowhere shouted Drak’ul’s only son, “Now Dragon Riders, now Nightwalkers, now soldiers alike! Bring me the Baenre bitch Triel’s head on a pike!”
As each of his minions rushed to obey, The former First Matron jumped into the fray. Her snake-headed whip lashed and hissed, The look in her eyes told all that she was pissed.
As trees in the forest, many soldiers soon fell dead at her feet As the First Matron Mother would not admit defeat. But then through the battle, came Drak’ul and his lot. And he cut off Triel’s head without even a thought.
Holding the gory trophy for all to see, The Patron of Chaulssin gloated over his victory. The battle for Menzoberranzan was now fought, The glory of Lloth’s Clergy was all for naught.
And so the City of Spiders came under Drak’ul’s rule. No longer will all males be played for a fool. This tale is a warning, for all to take care. Or they may find themselves under Vhaeraun’s stare.

I think it sounds good. However, I bet you would have a larger audience, if you saved this tidbit, for around that particular holiday season. |

Nothing beats a good carol. I give it a 9 for imagination, and a 10 for coolness. After all Vhaeraun rules!!! |

Two thumbs up. Now put it to music! That was about as imaginative as I've seen in a long time. Very well done! |

I love it! Good job! It makes the Christmas season more bearable (especially for those of us who work @ Best Buy and have to hear the stupid Christmas carols for 2 months straight) |
Talk nerdy to me, baby! |

I eagerly await your next release, Drakul. Perhaps a new rendition of the famous "Jinglebells" entitled "Fireballs" or "We Three Chosen." Who knows, you may even be able to write one called "Here Comes Halaster" or "Jolly Old Elminster"!!! |

Awwww look! Drakul, Sylvanus79, and Kalin Agrivar are even making a tree to go along with the theme. Good job growing the originally posted Christmas tree, Sylvanus79. BTW, Kalin, I am going to go mad. They start the Christmas music next week. I will have 3 different stereos playing 3 different Christmas songs loudly at the same time. It is ok, though. I will just take my rage out on Sylvanus79 when I get home from work. :) |

HUZZAH! Nice carol as I will sneak outside and sing this if any carolers come knocking on my door. I will sneak around and drone them out with your trophy worthy carol.

Lol. That reminds me of the Lovecraft-ian themed "solstice" carols and musical using the music from "Fiddler on the Roof." |

Well thats just weird. I did one based off the same "carol" back in december of 06. And here I thought I was original and funny O_O Just can't have an idea anymore these days without someone having done it first T_T
I should say you did a very good job in your rhyme. I'm impressed. |
... can I still be a bad A and like kittens? |

Again, sorry for the necromancy, but I wanted to post this tidbit that is quite a few years too late. I hope everyone enjoys this new one.
Sing to the tune of Silver Bells As requested (although a few years late)
Silver Blades
Lolthite Matrons, bazaar patrons Dressed in highest drow style In the air There's a feeling of terror. Drow are laughing Slaves are passing Meeting scowl after glare During war this is all that you'll hear.
Ringing blades, silvered blades It's time to raid Lolthite cities Metal rings, hear it sing Soon it will be total triumph
Strings of fairie light Even candle light Light up the bloody streets As the armies rush to fight their enemies
Hear their bones break and their lives we take This is Vhaeraun's big scene And above the dying screams You'll hear
Silvered blades, sharpened blades It's time to destroy Lolth's cities Metal rings, hear it sing Victory is ours from today. |
