Take me down to the Skyway City. Where the bad guys are green, and the trainer's a kitty.

Heroette

Just a' hero
livin' above the street
I'm a hard case
that's tough to beat

Floride

I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to King's Row!"
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men

Voltixdark

In steel canyon after dealing in WentWorths
Up in the university thinking if splicing exotic materials will work
After finding out you could lose your life
I tell everybody steer clear of WentWorths or you can lose your dice
Come next morning I read on the paper
Somebody lost their life See! Proof! Later!

SerialBeggar

Lost again in the donut cave chamber.
How do I get out, I can never remember.
The walls are closing in, getting hard to breathe.
I can hear the Boss, but I can't see.
Still just a noob, can you believe?
Teams are the number one killers of Soloists.

Angel Phoenix77

Oh where do we go now?
Where do we go now?
Where the witches and goblins play
Down where paranormal is normal
where do we go now?
One day the Phoenix will rise again.

Our Paragon home crumbled like stone
And we fell heavy into the gray
These days of loss which is felt by all
Will blow away, some say

So we'll kneel down,
Wait for now
We'll all kneel down,
On familiar ground

And we will wait, we will wait for you
And we will wait, we will wait for you

A heartless company broke our steps
For corporate greed and Won
We may forgive but we won't forget
What we lost, and is still gone.

'Cause we will wait, we will wait for you
And we will wait, we will wait for you

Keep your eyes on the prize, hold fast to the dream
Let hope come down like rain
There will come a day, there will be a way
We'll go back To Paragon again.

'Cause we will wait, we will wait for you
And we will wait, we will wait for you
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

Down at the subway in steel canyon, eating a banana, minding my own business,

Then I hear a 'BOOM' from behind followed by shaking, I realize there are thugs causing a reckoning,

I tell em "you better stop that or I'm going tell a hero then you're gonna get whacked!"

One of em shot a rocket at me, but I parried with a blade ROCKING STEEL!

So I ran towards em quick, dodged the first guy made em slip on a BANANA PEEL!

Next time I'll try to be more wary, these thugs I just whipped weren't even really scary.

It's time for Freedom Phalanx!
They're heroic to the max!
So just sit back and relax,
They'll fight 'till they collapse!
They're Freedom Phalanx!

Ice Ice Blaster... dun dun dun dunununuh
Ice Ice Blaster... dun dun dun dunununuh

Stop! Refrigerate and listen... Ice is back with a brand new mission
Chilblain grabs a hold of you tightly, frozen like an iceberg daily and nightly

Will it ever melt, yo? I don't know. Mez-resist the hold, you're still slowed
Chilling Embrace rocks the beasts and the vandals, Bitter Freeze Ray turns em into ice candles

I recall a web video comic based off of CoH. One of the characters was singing their version of Paradise City.

"Take me down to Paragon City. Where the <insert you know which grouphere> are green and the..."

That's as far as that guy got before he was told to shut up.

Unfortunately, it's been a while since I saw that video comic. So, I don't know where to find it.

Look to the cave
Hide in the corner to the right
And I'll fire
And they'll run
And we'll die
All to no avail
All to no avail

This is the last time I'll aggro you
And this is the last time I'll pull you
I wish I could
I wish I could

Inc42

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a sidekick
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of heroes
Lonely as I am
Together we fly

I run on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through Cherry Hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never wakie
Now that is a lie

MaidMercury

Some good ones here.

however...I can't think of any rhyme or poetry to add. :P

RGladden

Here's one that I grew up on in the early 60's.  Not poetry, but a bit of overly dramatic prose.  Not "exactly" CoH material, but it kind of catches the spirit of the game:

Faster than a speeding bullet.  More powerful than a locomotive.  Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.  Look!  Up in the sky!  It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's   (Post Your Hero's name here)    Yes, it's     PYHNH   , strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.     PYHNH     Who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands and who, disguised as    (You Know Who)   , mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!

Lob a nuke bomb baby, c'mon perma-dom
livin like a troller with your toggles on
lookin like respecced PVP vamp
domination villain can I golbal friend
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a Mezmerize
television missions, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, join another team
Nemesis holds his head, hear him scream
say yeah

Hey!
take a mob whole, shake them up
Break their endo, herd them up

and Throw confusion on them
in the game we love
Throw confusion on them
put the fire cage up
Throw confusion on them
til they've had enough

ice slick in the street
watch em bounce off their feet, yeah
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men

I feel you guys.. it's been a long time

Without our home.. can you imagine were so low

But rise up.. everybody's fighting to ride up

Into the day.. when our game breaks those damn chains

No longer bound.. the news spreading all over town

From the West coast.. all the way to East Rome

We're all home.. finally y'all we're all home.

Hey Trip, that rhyme definitely matches your icon pic. In my imagination I pictured your icon character clearing the stage and dropping that beat lol

Haha, nice! Now I'm seeing the same thing. And I like it ;D


(btw that pic is from a board game called Conquest of Planet Earth, by my favorite game company Flying Frog. Great way to pass some time if you like thematic board games)
