...to the tune of "Don't you want me" :)


SIGDI:
I was workin' as the sergeant of a platoon of Dwarfs
'til I had you
Brought you up loving Thor, got you a gown,
Dressed in cleric robes of blue;
Some years later on
Ye got Vamped in defeat,
Death ha'n't been easy for you;
But don't forget it's me brought you inta this world,
An' I can take ye back out too!

Time - time ter break free?
I never could believe it,
When they said you had to leave me,
Time - time ter break free?
Ye've got to find a way to save
The babe sittin' on yer knee,
'tis now we must unbind,
Vampire spirits from your mind,
We better bring ye back or we'll all be sorry:

Don' fersake yer baby!
Don' fersake him! Ohhhhhhhhh, oh-oh-oh;
Don' fersake yer baby!
Don' fersake him! Ohhhhhhhhh, oh-oh-oh;

DURKON:
Ye were workin' as the sergeant of a platoon of dwarfs,
Tha' much I knew;
But it were a long time before I found out,
All tha' things ye've been through:
I learned how ta be good from yer' sacrifice,
An' still love you;
An' now that I'm a Pa of a child of my own,
I'll do whatev'r I mus' do...

Time - time ter break free?
There's nowt that I can do,
But try and trick him wi' me mem'ries,
Time - time ter break free?
I' this plan works he'll soon find
Tha' we weren' tha' clan to mess wi',
Me soul I must reclaim,
To get back in the game,
An' there'll be Hel to pay then, wi' one word: HOLY

I won' fersake me baby!
I won' fersake him! Ohhhhhhhhh, oh-oh-oh;
I won' fersake me baby!
I won' fersake him! Ohhhhhhhhh, oh-oh-oh;
I won' fersake me baby!
I won' fersake him! Ohhhhhhhhh, oh-oh-oh;
I won' fersake me baby!
I won' fersake him! Ohhhhhhhhh, oh-oh-oh... (etc)

...cool stuff...

I happen to love filksongs. Next time The Giant appears at a Con you must sing it to him. In full costume. And post it on YouTube. I'd do the Durkon part because I have a fair deep blue voice, but I'd never fit in Durkon's suit.

I'm Europe-based so that may be difficult to arrange! I did have a stab at a recording of it though :)

You, sir, get one free internet. Thumbs up!

Thankyou :) I'm glad I listen to Scots folk music sometimes to pick up the voice patterns - maintaining that accent (to the extent that I managed) for the whole song took a few tries!

I cranked out a quick cover of "O Buddy Roy" whilst I was at it and added it to the same YT channel too. There's a mountain of songs and filk possibilities in this comic...
