done pleading ignorance
that whole defense
spending this energy

For what seems like a lifetime

Someone someone just drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides

Scheibenwelt-Test: Wache

And since Scheibenwelt.de lists the results so far next, I quickly made a clear pie chart – as you can easily see, us Watchmen hold the majority (ha!) ahead of Seamstresses and Undead:

Scheibenwelt-Test: Prozent
cowards, wizards, seamstresses, patricians, witches, assasins, dwarfs, trolls, watchmen, undead, librarians

 


  1. I’m leaving it to the readers to find the answer. []

But I won't be around
I'll be out of sight, out of sound
Someone's gonna wait somewhere

Avantasia, "Carry Me Over"
