Parting is such sweet sorrow...

The castle turrets towered high

Like a diomond in the sky

Sir Clayton, on a mighty steed

Rode out just after the King decreed:

That ev'ry peasant twixt the seas

Inhaled the air of a disease

And now must Clayton ride in search

Of sacred bark of bloody Birch

Wich lies deep in enchanted wood

Behind Dragon: Devourer of All That's Good

With cure, he must return or die

(to Castle Diamond in the Sky)

The brave sir saddled up his horse

After partying all night with the maidens, of course

With saword in hand, resolve thus bent

Into The Woods of Darkness went

Five days he searched for fiery beast

Until, by chance they both did meet

A mystic cave of dark and gloom

(one bed, one bath, and treasure room)

Before the sir had chance to fight

The beast made roast of the good Knight

A brave flambe' of courage marred

Had naught to do but sit and char

Thus with problem still unsolved

The guts of peasants would dissolve

The King sent out brave warrior Garret

Who was eaten soon by rabid ferrets

The King then sent out brave McGee

Who ran his horse into a tree

Sir Burton met a likened fate,

He tripped and fell into the lake

Sir oswald was the one who found the Birch

But was hung on the tree by the Holy Church

And thus the poison's course did run

(the peasants rotted in the sun)

And now their lifeless corpses lie

In Castle Diamond in the Sky

By three dear young men- who will remain anonymous unless they choose otherwise.

Heres to those wonderful times we all had together...
