(Music: "It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)", R.E.M.)

That's great, it starts with the Chaos Gate,
Balors on the Metaplane -
Khelavaster's not afraid
Corpse of a giant ant, listen to your stomach churn -
the gods serve their own needs, regardless of your own needs
Feed yourself some herbs, speed, cursed no, burb no
Climbing sets'll clatter with fear to slip down the rift
Hotzy under fire, play another game as a deputy for hire with a combat spell
Sharad-Wador, I'm dying in a hurry with blue dragons breathing down my neck
Game by game my pets are baffled by teleports
Look at that low score! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, summoners in the Big Room
Save yourself or kill yourself
Gods serve their own needs, feed you as your wounds bleed
Summon me a vampire and a revenant on the Darknight
It's only-magic, no-intrinsics, Kearns-like, and I'm feeling pretty psyched 

It's the end of Ancardia as we know it
It's the end of Ancardia as we know it
It's the end of Ancardia as we know it, and I feel fine

Darknight, midnight hour
Don't get caught in flame tower
Slash each turn, return, watch all your stuff burn
Lock up the red worms with books burning, blood letting
Drakelings will accelerate, scrolls and food incinerate
Light a torch that's everburning
Dive down, dive down
Watch a moloch crush, crush
Uh oh, this means death near, no altar here 
Run away and steer clear!
The ampersand, the ampersand, the ampersand won't die
Offer junk that's worthless, offer up the coaligned and the gods decline

It's the end of Ancardia as we know it
It's the end of Ancardia as we know it
It's the end of Ancardia as we know it, and I feel fine

The other night I killed Kranach when I was still level one
Drakalor Pass Cave
Infinite dungeon
Guth'Alak, Munxip, Grunge and Munge and Tywat Pare
Creator's Day, Fate smiles, extra luck, boom!
No save-filing, shop-scumming, gamma 9, right? Right.

It's the end of Ancardia as we know it
It's the end of Ancardia as we know it
It's the end of Ancardia as we know it, and I feel fine...
