While trying to come up with a theme song for the HELLSING Century (Sub-guild), something I still hope to do see here eventually the discussion led to song to do with an army marching, as lore wise, that is infact what HELLSING is. With that in mind I recalled the video for the Rammstein song Links 234 (Left 234), which has 1000's of ants marching in formation and said video is reminescent of prehaps the song most synominous with marching, When Johnny comes marching home, or rather the new chlidren's version, When the Ants go marching.
This song featured prominently in the movie Antz where the army of ants, while marching began to sing the lyrics. Rembering this I was thinking to myself, "Imagine SICK singing that song? Ha Ha, 'The Knights go marching one by one Hurrah, Hurrah.' Ha Ha". Would be pretty funny to be in the novel thread or one of the other SICK projects and come across those lyrics.
Then prehaps through boredom I began to rework the lyrics to fit SICK.
here's what I got for the first verse;
The Knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching one by one, The little one stops to play his drum And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I might try do the other 9 verses, but we will see.
-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive. Tupac Shakur

Great marching song but these two verses just seem way out of place maybe just edit them a little to have more flow, I don't really care about rhyming,
And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils

Dream as if you'll live forever, and live as if you'll die today. "James Dean"
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain
so really we can use any words we want. I just went with those words as that is often what SICK does.
Hadn't expected anyone else to reply, thanks man.

Original Lyrics The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The ants go marching one by one, The little one stops to suck his thumb And they all go marching down to the ground To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
My slightly edited lyrics The Knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The Knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching one by one, The little one stops to play his drum And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I changed sucks his thumb to plays his drum. Knights don't suck their thumbs. At least not to my knowledge.

i dont know what the big deal is. the origional song doesnt ryme so why does this version have to ryme. the only thing that counfuses me is the verse."And they all go marching down to the ground" but thats becasue of the song beat and i cant remember that one. but anyway it sounds good. cant wait for the next verses.
i dont know what the big deal is. the origional song doesnt ryme so why does this version have to ryme.
The only bits that ryhme are the number and what the little one is doing. The last two lines, which it seems people have an issue with, need not ryhme. We only need something that sounds cool. I just went with the lyrics I did, as that is infact one of SICK's duties. Smiting Evil.
hells 10101010
Huh? Your not making any sense (could just because I'm tired though).
Why don't you try work on the last two lines.
And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Specifically the bolded parts, see what you can come up with.
Verses 7, 8, 9 and 10 seem ok, it's really just verse 2 - 6 that need some work. Why would a knight stop to pick up sticks? or stop to take a dive? they are marching, ok sure the lyrics says they do stop but to pick up sticks? But I suppose few words ryhme with six. tricks, bricks.
Like I said I've only really started on verse one, but I will include the others to so people can get a look at them and see what they want to do with them.
The Knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching one by one, The little one stops to play his drum And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching two by two, The little one stops to tie his shoe And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching three by three, The little one stops to climb a tree And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching four by four, The little one stops to shut the door And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching five by five, The little one stops to take a dive And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching six by six, The little one stops to pick up sticks And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching seven by seven, The little one stops to pray to heaven And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching eight by eight, The little one stops to shut the gate And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching nine by nine, The little one stops to check the time And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Knights go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah The Knights go marching ten by ten, The little one stops to say "THE END" And they all go marching down to the Hells To smite all the evils, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Alternatively if someone wants to work on another song, like say, "I don't know but I've been told... " Then by all means do so.

is the line "the little one stops......." from the origional or your version. i just dont under stand why a knight would be climbing a tree. let alone tie his shoe in hell. lol

So far all I changed was;
-what the little one does in verse one, changed sucks his thumb to plays his drums.
-who is marching, ants to knights,
-where they are going, I don't think we would be marching down to the ground to get out of the rain.
We can change little one to last one or something. It doesn't quite feel right.
I am trying to get people to help work on the other verses, I said on the first page we needed to come up with something so knights weren't climbing trees and tying their shoes.

I did say they you were free to work on those lines. I have considered dropping the "s" at the end of the two words. Makes it more like the orignal lyrics, which ends with singular objects.
