(to the tune of "Barrett's Privateers" by Stan Rogers)


I forget the year but I know the date
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
Oh, I'll never forget that awful date
The day that Sephiroth met his fate

CHORUS
Gosh darn them all
I was told we'd only blow
A reactor or two
We'd have some fun
A couple of laughs
I'd rather be on a chocobo ranch
Than all that's left of Avalanche

The original five was a ragged bunch
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
Barrett and Jessie and another make three
Plus a couple of Star Wars refugees

CHORUS

7th Heaven was their plae to rest
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
Tifa urged me to make my peace
While she kept Barrett on her shortest leash

CHORUS

I rushed to my friends when the sector fell
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
The others they tried their level best
But Reno he put them to the test >/p>

CHORUS

Well the gang then grew by leaps and bounds
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
We found a fellah from Rocket Town
And a vamp from deep under the ground

CHORUS

So off we set with our motley crew
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
We damned our enemy straight to Hell
When at his hands our Aerith fell

CHORUS

We rushed to battle in the cavern's core
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
Sephiroth waited deep within
With Jenova's power steeped high in sin

CHORUS

Sepiroth's power held us fast
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
We almost ended there that day
But Aerith's Holy paved the way

CHORUS

The tales were true of Sephiroth's might
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
Oh, I never thought I'd see such power
His damn Supernova took half an hour

CHORUS

I finally faced him man to man
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
I wish I had never gone that time
For to harm that body was a terrible crime

CHORUS

The battle's done and he's gone at last
(How I wish I was in Nibelheim)
But it'll take three more years for me
To figure out the ending FMV!

Gosh darn them all
I was told we'd only blow
A reactor or two
We'd have some fun
A couple of laughs
I'd rather be on a chocobo ranch
Than to write dumb songs 'bout Avalanche
