It’s the SCA World as You Know It
(sung to the tune of ‘It’s the end of the world as you know it’ by REM)
- filk words by Doireann inghean Alasdair

That’s great, it starts with a big parade
Kings and Queens and heraldry
Stand aside and make a way

Trimaris, Meridies, Ansteorra, Antir,
Calontir, Outlands, Drachenwald, Atenveldt,
Atlantia, Caid, Middle, East, West
The armor starts to clatter with no fear of flight

Iron in the fire and the marshalls have engaged us
In a battle to the death; heavy combat, fight
So much is determined in a hurry, with a flurry
Of a thou- sand swords

Rhiannon of the Isle was hanging out in style
With a plentitude of squires that partied all night
Uh- Oh overflow in the period swimming hole
Save yourself Save yourself Save yourself

The Mongols had a curlitie, built a fire burning bright
Baras and Caemel at the table, Puck is saying, “Screw a Bagel”
Cabana boys, Feasty Boys, Bryce squad making noise
Pretty good fights

It’s the SCA World as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA World as you know it
Life out of time

Nastycrat, Autocrat, don’t forget the feastcrat
Slice and dice all night
Listen to the fires burn
Ox and Rufus getting, Lex’s clothes are inside out
Ucla’s chasing Camric cause he pantsed his knight

Danse nazi: one pavan, step left step right
Watch your feet
Crush crush, uh oh, this means
Limping through an em pris
Steering clear of cavaliers
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament, a crown
 

Offered kamikazes, offered penetrators
And I declined

It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know
Life out of time
 

It’s the SCA world as you know it  I don’t know what time I’m in
It’s the SCA world as you know it  I don’t know what time I’m in
It’s the SCA world as you know  I don’t know what time I’m in
Life out of time

The other day at a melee
A marshall and a herald fought
Then revelry got underway, “Please Bearkiller”
Rolling Thunder, Nova, Sir Manfred lives in Axemoor
Coronation, Black Axe, Gulf Wars, RUM

Hedonist, Anachronist, SCA
Right?right!

It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know
Life out of time
 

It’s the SCA world as you know it  I don’t know what time I’m in
It’s the SCA world as you know it  I don’t know what time I’m in
It’s the SCA world as you know  I don’t know what time I’m in
Life out of time

It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know it
It’s the SCA world as you know
Life out of time
 

It’s the SCA world as you know it  I don’t know what time I’m in
It’s the SCA world as you know it  I don’t know what time I’m in
It’s the SCA world as you know  I don’t know what time I’m in
Life out of time
