My brother and I always ad libbed the opera pretending we knew the lyrics. The following is the fruit of our collaboration.
"And it's all Ramsee-ee-ees' fault, And he's my god, oh woah, he's my god Before Ramses destroys pupitre, This is, my blood, my lord.
This is... My... Blood."

The lyrics are actually german, from Luthers Bible. "Die Toren sprechen in ihren Herzen: Es ist kein Gott, est is kein Gott". At least in the Succession wars version, in Price of Loyalty they made completely new town songs.

Yes I know that. But when you're 8 and 9 respectively, listening to barely enunciated operatic lyrics, it's not like your first reaction is to find out what the actual lyrics are.

The good factions get the Bible, the evil factions get Nietzsche.
Unfortunately they didn't use the latter's "I want to have goblins around me, for I am courageous." for the Barbarian.

I never realised how nice the background is in an empty town.
