I've had Coldplay's Viva la Vida running through my head the last hour whilst playing CoH and a loose form of parody lyrics began forming. I'd love to make it (or some revised form of it) a youtube video, but I dont have the time and I can't sing very well. I'll post it here in case anyone else can do something with it or get ideas from it.
I used to save the world
Heroes united when I gave the word
Now every night I just walk the streets
Wondering how I'd met defeat
Villains were terrified
When they saw my cape in the sky
Civilians would cheer my way
For a Hero I was, that's what they'd say
Wish I could have saved it all
But my world began to fall
Away from everything that I knew
My Incarnates were gone, I couldn't renew
I'd fly off into the endless skyline
Theme songs that I'd hear in the daytime
Turn 'round and face down my ArchVillains
'Rachnos, Hellions, Crey Corporations
And hope one day we can save this place
From the MMOKiller
Always built for solo-play
And that was when I saved the day
T'was NCSoft and their C-E-O
Told us we're done, we had to go
Forums posting at the speed of light
The worst villain we've had yet to fight
As criminals roamed with pride
Families crying at my side
Our world itself coming to an end
Oh, why was it we couldn't defend?
I'd fly off into the endless skyline
Theme songs that I'd play in my downtime
Turn 'round and face down my ArchVillains
Nemesis, Rikti, and Cimerorans (insert new enemy groups 2nd time)
If this battle should leave me slain
I know Hero 1 will call my name
They can't take it all away
And that was when I saved the day

Only wish I'd thought of this sooner. Just work with me, I've never done this before. ^_^
