We Need a Hero(ism)

Parody of "Holding Out For a Hero" by Bonny Tyler. Written for World of Warcraft Anub'arak encounter in Wrath of the Lich King. 

Where have all the attempts gone,

And where are all the loots?

Where’s the epic DPS

With run speed on their boots?

Isn’t there a heal queued to save me in phase three?

Raiding nights I kite and I burn and dream of what could be.

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero at the end of the fight.

We’ve gotta be geared,

And we’ve gotta be fast,

And we’ve gotta be bunched up tight.

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero to do this right.

We’ve gotta be buffed,

And it’s gotta be soon,

And we’re gonna be larger than life.

Larger than life.

Somewhere after feral charge

With our best Anub team,

Somewhere just beyond that add

We’re going to show him what we mean.

Racing with the timer and slowing with the cold

It’s gonna take a freedom to help tanks keep their hold.

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero at the end of the fight.

We’ve gotta be geared,

And we’ve gotta be fast,

And we’ve gotta be bunched up tight.

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero to do this right.

We’ve gotta be buffed,

And it’s gotta be soon,

And we’re gonna be larger than life

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero at the end of the fight.

Down where the Nerubian’s made their home

Where Arthas has forced us to be,

Among the scarabs and ice Anub is

Following me.

Through the adds and the DoTs and the HoTs

And the kites and the moans

I can feel his demise

Like a fire in my bones!

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero at the end of the fight.

We’ve gotta be geared,

And we’ve gotta be fast,

And we’ve gotta be bunched up tight.

We need a hero!

We’re holding out for a hero to do this right.

We’ve gotta be buffed,

And it’s gotta be soon,

And we’re gonna be larger than life
