A long, long time ago

I can still remember when crafting had no Repeat

And I knew if they had a chance

They'd update the emote dance

To make the toons move with some beat

Each live update made me shiver

With anticipation I would quiver

Grand news on my desktop

I swear my heart could just stop

I can't remember if I cried

When my petition got no reply

I felt an aching deep inside

The day my Wood Elf died

Happy Birthday Everquest 2

You're a whole year old now with a brand new LU

And SOGA models for America too

Here's looking to year number 2, here's looking to year number 2

I remember clearly on that day

I was swimming past the Pirate's Bay

I had my trusty totem of SOW

I was listenin' to some rock-and-roll

And I thought myself a little droll

When suddenly something cast a slow

Well I know it was an easy fight

But instead I turned around, took flight

I put on my JBoots

But damn those multiple roots

Oh, all I wanted was for her to dance

But I never even had a chance

I couldn't move, I was entranced

The day my Wood Elf died



Happy Birthday Everquest 2

You're a whole year old now with a brand new LU

And SOGA models for America too

Here's looking to year number 2, here's looking to year number 2

I thought that I had got away

And the rockin' song was still on Play

So I decided to stop a spell

I typed in the dance emote

Timed it perfect with each note

I didn't know it'd soon be Hell

I was watching her dancing around

The music covered up the sound

Sirens were fast approachin'

Their spells were still all broken

Before I could run, 'twas too late

As if the dance was siren bait

I was the one who sealed my fate

The day my Wood Elf died

Happy Birthday Everquest 2

You're a whole year old now with a brand new LU

And SOGA models for America too

Here's looking to year number 2, here's looking to year number 2
