RPG Medley

(Daniela Nicklas, 2005)

So viele Künstler haben Lieder über Rollenspiele geschrieben ...

Play the Game, Queen

• Open up your mind and let me step inside
  Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
  It’s so easy, when you know the rules
  It’s so easy, all you have to do is play the game
  Play the game, everybody play the game
  

Bitch, Meredith Brooks

• I am your world today,
  I’m not good to you I know but I can’t change
  Try to tell the story, put you all in danger
  I’m a angel underneath: innocent and sweet
  

  All of you could die
  You must have been released to see the other side
  I can understand how you’d be so confused
  I don’t envy you: I’m a little bit of everything, all rolled into one
  

  • I’m a botch, I’m the Master, I’m a trouper with a blaster
    I’m a sinner and a saint, I do not feel ashamed
    I’m you hell, I’m you dream, I’m nothing in between
    You know you wouldn’t want it any other way
    

    I’m the beauty and the beast, I’m a goddess on my knees
    When you hurt, when you suffer you may roll and recover
    I’m the plot, I’m the dice, give NPCs a life
    You know you wouldn’t want it any other way
    

Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen

• Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
  Caught in a game play, no escape to reality.
  Open your eyes, look up to your dice and see:
  I’m just a red shirt, I need no sympathy
  Because I’m easy come, easy go, risk is high, stats are low
  Anyway the plot goes, doesn’t really matter to me, to me.
  

Bright Eyes, Art Garfunkel

• Is it a kind of dream? Floating out on the tide
  Following the river of death downstream, or is it a dream?
  There’s a fog along the horizon, a strange glow in the sky
  Nobody seams to know where we go and what does it mean,
  Or – is it a dream?
  

  • My dice, rolling like fire.
    My dice, how can they botch and fail?
    How can a hero, tall and mighty,
    suddenly loose and fail?
    My dice.
    

Dream on, Nazareth

• Dream on, though it’s hard to tell,
  Though you’re fooling yourself, dream on
  Dream on. It’s so easy for you. Oh, what can I do, dream on.
  

  • You can laugh at me because I’m playing.
    You can tell your friends how much we had fun this day.
    You can live your fantasies without me
    But you’ll never know how much plot I have left, dream on.
    

Jessie, Joshua Kadison

• Master, paint your picture about how it’s gonna be
  By now I should know better, your dreams are never risk-free
  But tell me all about your little dragon by the sea
  Master, you can always tell any dream to me
  Master, you can always tell any dream to me.
