We are the bards of fandom
Minstrels of the night
From dusk till dawn we sing our songs
For everyone in sight
Telling tales of fantasy,
Speculative fiction and TV
No subject is too small
There is much we see
Chorus
Like the seeds of a dandelion drifting in the sky
We spread our music through space and time.
Filkers one and all, minstrels of the night
Planting seeds of melodic rhyme
Our band is small, it's true
But united at all times
By the music we produce
Keeping the lore of fandom
Paying homage to the stars
Dragons, fairies, and unicorns
Our music travels far (chorus)
Bridge
Some shape their words with parody
Others with original songs,
From rock to folk even Broadway tunes
Our roots are deep and strong. (chorus)
Our songs are not for everyone
But for those who share the dream
Fandom, computers and outer space
The circle's wide and deep
So come along and join us now
If you dare to seek
Far from the mundane world
Come help us sow and reap. and (chorus)
Like the seeds of a dandelion drifting in the sky
We'll spread our music through space and time.
Filkers one and all, minstrels of the night (2X)
