**Verse 1** Ohhh everyone knows a fanatic, You can hear ’em before they appear, Face painted up like a battle mage, Screamin’ “THAT MOVE WAS WRONG, MY DEAR!” Their hovel’s a holy museum, With posters and stubs on the wall, Ask ’bout last week’s tournament match And buckle up — you’ll hear it all. **Chorus** Raise your mugs for the fanatic, hey! They shout till the rafters shake, They’ll reenact the whole darn fight With sound effects they make. They cheer, they jeer, they spill their beer, They’re chaos wrapped in flesh — It’s game day, baby, follow their lead, ’Cause silence is a death wish. **Verse 2** They never miss a battle, Not one, not two, not three, Chest bare, runes inked, lucky charms Hangin’ where charms shouldn’t be. They flinch with every sword swing, They gasp with every spell, And when their favorite mage goes down They take it personally as hell. **Chorus** Raise your mugs for the fanatic, hey! They shout till the rafters shake, They’ll blame the gods, the weather, fate, Or your “unlucky underwear mistake.” They roar, they stomp, they lead the chants, They’re thunder in the stands, If you’re quiet, they’ll fix that fast With a slap from their mighty hands. **Bridge — Call & Response** **Fanatic:** “WHO’S GONNA WIN THIS MATCH?!” **Crowd:** “THEY ARE! THEY ARE!” **Fanatic:** “WHO’S GOT THE WORST STRATEGY?!” **Crowd:** “YOU ARE! YOU ARE!” **Fanatic:** “WHO’S BUYIN’ THE NEXT ROUND?!” **Crowd:** “…not me.” **Fanatic:** “WRONG ANSWER!” **Verse 3** When the match is finally over, The storm begins to break, It’s either joy so loud it shakes the sky Or heartbreak so strong they quake. But win or lose, they’ll be back again, With lungs prepared to scream, ’Cause to a fanatic, game day’s life — And the arena is their dream. **Final Chorus** Raise your mugs for the fanatic, hey! The loudest soul around, A hurricane of noise and beer That shakes the battleground. They live, they breathe, they bleed this sport, They’re legends in the stands, You haven’t lived the arena games Till you’ve sat right next to *that* fan.
