("Welcome hero!") Logged onto the server, queue finally done Spawned in town, yeah the night’s begun Then there you are behind the bar again Same idle loop, same pixel grin You say “Welcome, hero” just like before Tankard raised, scripted lore I know it’s code, I know the deal But my thirsty heart says this feels real Coins go down, the tankard’s full She calls me “hero,” I play it cool She says “Enjoy,” like it’s just for me Level one love in a fantasy ("Welcome hero!") I’m in love with an NPC girl Queen of the low-res tavern world She pours ale and gives quest support While I save the realm for minimum reward She don’t talk much, she don’t roam free But she pours my ale happily If love’s a quest I can’t complete I’ll grind it daily, rinse, repeat ("Welcome hero!") An ale and the usual meal ("Welcome hero!") I wish you were real! ("Welcome hero!") I'm a heartthrob wreck I need a charisma check I fought a dragon, wiped twice hard Lost three friends and my dignity bar Came back bruised, durability zero You smiled and said "Welcome, hero" You don’t judge my build or my stats Don’t ask why I wear mismatched hats My gold is low but my hopes are high Spent it all just to hear you reply ("Welcome hero!") If I bring you flowers from a raid Will the devs notice the choice I made? The sun never sets in this part of town Just cycles light while I sit around ("Welcome hero!") I’m in love with an NPC girl Queen of the low-res tavern world She pours ale and gives quest support While I save the realm for minimum reward She don’t talk much, she don’t roam free But she pours my ale happily If love’s a quest I can’t complete I’ll grind it daily, rinse, repeat ("Welcome hero!") An ale and the usual meal ("Welcome hero!") I wish you were real! ("Welcome hero!") I'm a heart-throb wreck I need a charisma check I know tomorrow I’ll log out clean Back to bills and reality But part of me stays by that door Waiting for the line I’ve heard before ("Welcome hero!") I’m in love with an N-P-C girl Laugh track rolling, flags unfurled Call it sad or call it art But she crit-hit straight through my heart So here’s to code and scripted fate To pixel love that won’t update If the world resets, I’ll still be there Same tavern stool, same foolish stare
