Vision Quest

Inspired by some friends who really did travel 300 miles from Fort Worth to Midland because that was where the graphics card was available. Blasted crypto miners…

Words and music by Joseph Abbott

I am a druid, defender of the dawn
I am a fighter, with agility and brawn
I am a seer, in me the vision strong
But now my visions have gone wrong

The power that I require to heal
The greedy now conspire to steal
I must journey to the west at speed
To restore the true sight that I need

CHORUS: I’m on a vision quest
To do what’s best for my guild
On a vision quest
For the tower that I must build
I’m on a vision quest
Let the chips fall where they might
I’ll find resolution for my plight

It’s raid night and the glitches start
A hard fight, but I can’t take part

It’s a kick in the groin as they make their crypto haul

CHORUS: I’m on a vision quest
To do what’s best for my guild
On a vision quest
For the tower that I must build
I’m on a vision quest
Let the chips fall where they might
I’ll find resolution for my —

BRIDGE: There’s a new card, that’ll get it done
But it’s 300 miles to the nearest one
I’m taking a trip to the Midland Best Buy
Hitting I-20 for a 3080 T-I

CHORUS: I’m on a vision quest
To do what’s best for my guild
On a vision quest
For the tower that I must build
I’m on a vision quest
Let the chips fall where they might
I’ll find resolution for my —

Vision quest
To do what’s best for my guild
On a vision quest
For the tower that I must build
I’m on a vision quest
Let all the mobs take heed
I’ll find the resolution that I need

4 THE ALLIANCE!
4 THE HORDE!
4…K!
Resolution that I need
