Clutch (band) - 24 Earth Years lyrics

[Hook] I don't know, but I've been told I'm about 24 Earth years old And come my next birthday, it'll be a quarter century I don't know, but I have heard a gnome from the old world say these words "Take a look now what the cat dragged in: a red/dead woodpecker and two of my kin" Back in 1980, we played the AD&D That game was harder than the Elfstones of Shannara My character was baffling, a druid, wizard, halfling On top of that he was master of psionic powers Bring on the hordes, we have the sword That smote the Goblin of Gygaxnor Pray that the sisters name us as victors Of the twenty sided die, yeah [Hook] Long ago in Middle Earth A man could measure all his worth By his blade and by his staff And by the runes on his epitaph Go mount your horse and ride up north To seek the Baron of the Frozen Berg Ask for a**istance in the resistance Of the twenty sided die [Hook] Saw Mazes and Monsters, Tom Hanks completely bonkers He spoke what he doth speaketh in Elizabethan Sad lad, he really couldn't handle starting from scratch on the very first level But he died the d**h of a warrior A legend grows yearly by way of local psalm The bishop and castle move in defense of pawns I'm rolling, I'm tumbling a twenty sided die A legend grows yearly by way of local psalm [Hook]
