A friend heard "The Ballad of TonyV" the other day and was compelled to write this. She'd like to remain anonymous, but wanted me to post it here. I think it's pretty d*mn good, but I"m biased. So without further ado:
Ok, this just slammed into my brain and out of my fingers and if I
don't share it with someone, I'll bust. It's not my best, but it
should speak to you....
Kill my toons, take my game
To your everlasting shame
But heroes we will all still be
They can't take Paragon from me.
Servers are down, screen's turned black
They say that it ain't comin' back
Damn those bastards at NC
They can't take Paragon from me.
We will rise once again
Though we cannot say just when
There'll be a place that we can be
'Cause heroes we will ever be
And they can't take Paragon from me.
Pretty good...the line about taking Paragon away has too many beats to scan properly, but otherwise good. Can't think of a better way to get that line without using the ambiguous "City" (and thus people asked: "what city?") instead of "Paragon".

Just spewing things out at random here, maybe it'll spark something for you.
Can't take Paragon from me.
They can't take the Isles from me.
There in Atlas 33.
They can't take my home from me.
Paragon belongs to me.
Torches high for all to see.
