Strum
D-DU-UDU
 1
Through  the mist of smoke and flame
Rides  a man, a mighty lord
His  foes fall in pain
Women  cry his name
The  gift of rock his reward
With  a voice that can power light bulbs
Wound  a bear and shatter souls
He  calms the hounds of Hades
All  the single ladies
Put  your hands up
Rock  'n Roll
 2
Under  rock and craggy mountain
In  the ancient hall he dwells
His  piano shines with glory
He  sings an ancient story
Of  betrayal by the Elves
 Commentary: 1
 Wait, sorry. Ancient halls? Elves?
 You're making me a dwarf, aren't you?
 No, no. You are a mighty warrior
His  six brothers, grim and
They  saw a maid, as white as snow
A  magic mirror found her
Now  she's off, they flounder
Hi-ho,  hi-ho, it's off to work he goes
 Commentary: 2
 Ah, thanks. I'm a dwarf then, a Disney dwarf
 Yes, yes! A mighty, mighty dwarf!
 1
Man  of earth and man of fire
Battle  brothers to  the core
Valor  soaring ever higher
But  we're empty,  lost without one more
 3
Hello,  my name is Lee
And  I play the guitar OOOOOOOHHHHHH
And  I play the guitar!
 Commentary: 3
 What?
 1
And  so we ride onwards to destiny
Our  foes and enemies  slain
Fighting  fierce beasts, eating  their meats
We  ride!
 And Awesome's our name
 Commentary: 4
 Jordon!
 Riding on a skeleton horse of fire!
 Lee!
 Riding on a skeleton horse of fire!
 But no, I'm riding a skeleton horse of fire
 Ya, you have to pick something different
 Lee!
 Riding on a skeleton horse of... water!
 What? A waterhorse?
 You mean like a seahorse?
 Well, at least I'm not riding on a chicken!
 Who said I'm riding on a chicken?
 Benny!
 Riding on a chicken!
 But why do I have to ride a chicken?
 You guys got to choose yours!
 I want to ride a dragon!
 2
And  so we ride onwards to destiny
On  horse, seahorse,  and hen
Evil  destroyed, homeless  employed
We  ride!
 From now till the end
And  in the misty halls  of Asgard
Where  the Gods watch  over man
They  tried to curse  the Axis  for our pride
But  alas, we were  too awesome
Their  powers weak against  our might
So  we kicked them in the balls
And  then they cried
 3
And  so we ride onwards to destiny
With  swords and  weapons and shit
Lightning  will flash
Thunder  will clash
We  ride  into infinity!
We  fly and don't need a plane
We'll  fill  you with love
 Till heaven  and earth  combine!
 And Awesome's our name
