Hello from the Yellow Side

Description

A song describing the cherished relationship between Heralds (Belegarth referees - also called Marshals or Reeves) and fighters.

Written by Acorn and Rocca on the way to Chaos Wars XX

Lyrics

Sung to the tune of Adele's “Hello”

This version is the Belegarth authentic, non-pg version. Feel free to replace the curse words for family friendly fun.

Hold... It's me

I'm the herald on your field and there has been an injury¹

Call for the medic, take a knee,

They say that time’s supposed to heal, you'll fight again … eventually

Hello? Can you hear me?

I'm the herald on the edge; don't let your bodies touch this string

It's the boundary, I'm marking.

Edge encroaching, we're approaching,

And you're STILL not listening?

There's not much difference between us,

unless you rhino hide

Hello from the yellow side

I've called you dead 1000 times

and you know I'd rather be playing our game

but instead I'm helping, and you think I'm lame

Hello from the yellow side

She double tapped and then you died

‘Cause I see you cheating and you say that I'm blind

Well that's cool, now your ass is on the sideline

So lay on...

Pay heed! Now here's the rules.

This mini game is not that hard, if you'd shut up you fucking fools

There are three rez points, and one goal.

Team blue by camping, red by parking, and Team Instinct go run Troll²

We’ve just one hour til lunch

We are running out of time

Hello from the yellow side

I've said this shit 1000 times

And I know you're hot but you're being a pain

And I'm never, ever, volunteering again

Hello from the yellow side

At least I can say that I tried

To tell you please call light and say if it's garb

When you don't speak clearly it makes my job hard,

But lay on....

Lay on

Lay on on on on

Hello from the yellow side

I've called you dead 1000 times

and you know I'd rather be playing our game

but instead I'm helping, and you think I'm lame

Hello from the yellow side

He double tapped and then you died

And you say I’M cheating, but I don’t give a ****

Cause that's cool, now your ass just ran outta luck

OFF MY FIELD! (yelled)

And lay on…

^{1^{"Herald" can be replaced with Marshall as desired. Not sure if this song is that applicable to Amtgard, but if it is, the word "herald" can be replaced by "Reeve here" and it works fine. I.e. "I'm the Reeve here on your field ...."}}

^{2^{This can be any three teams, depending on the audience. Also, the "go run troll" part is often yelled, as if from a heckler. For example: HH by camping, Horde by parking and hey Triad, go run Troll!}}
