Echoes from the west
Great hammers will fall
Under high rocks all will
Answer the call
Bring us your arms
Pariahs of yore
All faces turn now to war
Exiles of the ash
Stare through crimson glow
Guards of the north
Sing their songs of the snow
Bring us the breath
Of the marshes and rain
Courage is rising again!
War will weather the souls of the lost
Stand together whatever the cost
Shields will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all
To answer the call
Pride of Summer’s shores
Guide the voices of kings
Children of bark
They will tighten their strings
Bring us the wits
Of the warm southern sands
Clouds over all of the lands
War will weather the souls of the lost
Stand together whatever the cost
Shields will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all
To answer the call
White gold
Burning sky
(For the souls of the lost)
Purify
War will weather the souls of the lost
Stand together whatever the cost
Shields will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all
To answer the call
Yes. Yes, that is what we are looking for.
Yes. Much yes. [muahaha]

I don't like that song. The verses are inconsistent, it doesn't have any predictable rhyme scheme, the lines don't have the same number of syllables... I have no idea how you're supposed to sing something like that.

OK. So the line breaks aren't where Lightspeed put them. That makes vastly more sense. 'Echoes from the west, great hammers will fall / Under high rocks all will answer the call' is not at all the same as 'Echoes from the west / Great hammers will fall / Under high rocks all will / Answer the call'. Some parts of it still don't flow very well, though. The chorus doesn't sound right.

Okay, now replace all proper names with FC-related stuff and make the music something less-medieval.
Then that will be a very good FC-song.

in other words make a new song that has nothing to do with this one.

Why would anyone even want to have anything to do with this one? (On a side note, why do we need a theme song at this stage again?)

Like everything else we do on the forums, it would be a community song. For the community.

ACHOs from the west, banhammers will fall
In Member's Lounge all will answer the call
Build us your ships, dead members of yore
All faces turn now to war
Sudden beams of light shatter pre-dawn glow
Fire rains down on the planets below
Bring us the armies
Owls, ponies or men
Futurecraft rising again!
Cool will weather the souls of the lost
Stand against joykler whatever the cost
Coders will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all
To answer the call
Pride of Mackeroth, pulling everyone's strings
Minions of Fr0st, they will code all the things
Bring us the code
From ectrimble's dead hands
Servers in all of the lands
Cool will weather the souls of the lost
Stand against joykler whatever the cost
Coders will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all
To answer the call
Spaceships
Burning sky
(For the souls of the lost)
Purify
Cool will weather the souls of the lost
Stand against joykler whatever the cost
Coders will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all

As necros go, that one was pretty good.

That sounds pretty good. Now we need a person to sing this.
...
well...

You might find someone. Alternatively you may also already know someone.
I'm going to stay aside on that matter.

Seems pretty good, I can see the YouTube videos in three years trying to dissect all the meanings and inside jokes.
