Magical Rhapsody

A classic from Treasure Trap
To the tune of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

Is this the real life ?
This just ain't logical,
Caught in a matrix
No escape from the magical,
Open your mind
Your vocals, you'll find, run free...

I'm just a poor mage, give me more mana please
Because it's easy come, easy go,
Cast a bit, running low
When the Gust of Wind blows, cast another Shatter for me
For me.

Mana, is nearly gone.
I've got another eight,
And then just enough to gate.
Mana ! the day had just begun,
But now I've gone and blown it all away
Mana, oo-oooo,
Didn't mean to use you up.
If you've come back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, and cast another Shatter...

To gate, an undine has come,
Sends trickles down my spine
Body's soaking all the time,
Goodbye everybody - I've got to gate
Gotta leave you all behind and face the Void !
Mana, ooo-ooooo (when the Gust of Wind blows)
I don't want to die !
I sometimes wish I'd never even cast at all...

I see a little silhouetto of a mage,
Plate Self ! Plate Self ! Stonehammer and a Firedart
Another Bolt of Lightning, Shatter Shatter Fireblade III
Walk on Water, Walk on Water,
Walk on Water, Walk on Water,
Walk on Water Talk to Plants.

Chameleo-o-o-on!

Animate a Golem, get PERMANANCY
Range Rust ! Snowflake ! Never get PERMANANCY
Settle for a Scarecrow with a Blackblade III

Dispell I, Dispell VIII, will you let me gate ?
Mass Terror ! NO ! We will not let you gate.
Let me gate !
Mass Terror ! We will not let you gate.
Let me gate !
Mass Terror ! We will not let you gate.
Let me gate !
Will not let you gate-let me gate
Will not let you gate-let me gate
Gate, gate, gate, gate, gate, gate, gate!

Magic Missile, Magic Missile,
Magic Missile Blackflash Haste!

Cast Stone Skin with Exten-shun II or III...
or III...
or III.........

So you think you can Trip me and Flash in my Eye ?!
So you think you can Fireball and leave me to die ?!
Oh magi - can't do this to me Magi...
Just gotta gate out - just gotta gate right outta here....

(mellow)
Cast another Shatter,
Or a Fireblade III.
Cast another Shatter...
Cast another Shatter...
for me.

When the Gust of Wind blows...
