The Republic of Thoronia

So, the RoT actually managed to get something in for the RPM Challenge this year. It’s still rather rough, most of the tracks aren’t fully formed, but it was nice to record again–and that’s what the challenge is really about. The purpose was to create a soundtrack for Mojiferous Industries’ Atomic Combat 3 and that didn’t exactly work so well — some of these tracks might still make the cut, but most will end up being ousted and replaced with things that loop better and are more naseau inducing. Y’know, like real Atomic Combat.

The world’s first interactive, choose-you-own adventure concept album. Coming 2011.

Work it,
make it,
do it,
Makes us harder, better, faster, stronger!

[Chorus]
What does not kill us
Shall make us stronger!
But we need to hurry
For the nights of Sauron are over!
We shall overcome
Even if the ring makes nights go longer!
The time is upon us
When Sarumon is upon us!
I need my precious!
I need your precious!

We arrived in Rivendale tonight
You could be my black Arwen tonight
No Elrond, I am the leader tonight
We do not care what Mordor says tonight

We have these elven cloaks
No other race can make them like this now!
But our travels are not complete

Bow in the presence of greatness!
Because right now Gandalf has forsaken us
But he’ll be back cloaked in whiteliness

He cannot believe he took this ring with him
Passed down from his older kin
He is losing his mind with each and every step
Sam is trying to take this
The new word shall give us a break.

[Chorus]

We need you right now
We need you right now

I’m not certain if Aragorn is your man or not
If you have decided to leave Rivendale or not
If Elrond will let me on the boat or not
These drinks Gimli gave us have me saying a lot
But I think Sauron put you in front of me
Oh heavens, how could you have lied to me?
There are a thousand elves to choose from and only one of me
I’m sorry, I must be caught in the eye of he

This is a star-studded night
So we’ll do anything that I want
Put the ring on and give Sam a haunt
I’ll do anything for an elf-aunt
But you’ll just do anything you want
Your elf powers control the horse jaunt
Oh my elven love, you’re making it (harder, better, faster, stronger)

And in honor of that thing that happens for some people today, I highly recommend you go out and download Dr. Octoroc’s 8-Bit Jesus a fun and heartwarming chiptunes ode to the holiday we call Christmas. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanakkah, Ha-za to Kwanzaa, Good Solstice and Happy Thoronimas! Coming up next week, new years wish lists, more stories of Thoronia and a yearly roundup!
