Lyrics:
Here lies a dynasty damned
A castle of sand rudely ripped from my fingers
By my leviathan hand,
This louse-ridden land will be mine once more
You’re born a hellion
Raised on a galleon
Soon you’ll be hanging
Upside down from the kelp
My poor adversary
There’ll be no one left to see her buried
No need to stare, you’ll clearly hear me
Peeling the orange from her scalp
Nary a merciful thought
Is held in my heart for a traitorous rat but
Spare me the loyal charade
There’s plenty of plots ‘twixt a captain and crew
Here lie the Fortunate few
A trench full of tombs for the bloody usurpers
High tide will herald their doom
For every last flume will be flooded with fear
All hail the saltwater scourge
A dudgeoned old dirge for a dynasty deathless
Sin sail and savagery surge
Our grudge’ll submerge her in silver and spite
Here lie your hopes and your dreams
A choir of screams for the Reaver King

Didn’t expect such strong Disney villain vibes to come out of this one. Huh. Weird way to end a year.
Episode two of Nebulus’ Holiday Special. I think Gangplank’s theme more than any other stood to benefit from added vocals. It feels like there was room created for vocals in the mix that then remained unfilled - at least until I came along and did what I do. There is a bit of humming in the intro and the crew singing near the end, but they’re not as prominent as in the Captain Gangplank version.
Speaking of, why didn’t I use the Captain Gangplank version? Few reasons. One, Captain doesn’t feel as vocally bereft as Scourge. Two, I find Captain’s rhythm too straight, static, and stale. Three, I knew before choosing that I wanted to make this a song Gangplank would use to rally his crew in shared hatred of Miss Fortune: something he’d have much more reason to do after losing his ship, his throne, and his arm to her.
Probably gonna be about 3 months before the next proper League Lyricised. Gonna use the first quarter of 2023 to get through a bunch of dumb content ideas I had in 2022. Bit of music, bit of voice acting. Oh, and the Q&A. Can’t forget that.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be spending my New Years night recording the worst “lyrics” I’ve ever written. However you’re spending yours, enjoy it as best you can, and charge forward into 2023 with both the fury of the minotaur and the determination of the demigod who Fortnite danced on its corpse.
