LYRICS
Oh violence does call me, I’ve answered before
I’d made many enemies, I’d settled my scores
But I did grow weary and I settled down
And proudly bore the weight of my crown
I lived on my lonesome away in the far
Where there was no violence to trouble my heart
I’d hung up my sword and I’d raised up my hoe
And I lied as I said that I ne’er would go
But came a cry from a man that I’d known
Someone to whom rare compassion I’d shown
And so I opened up my door
To the man who promised me blood and war
Oh woe to thee, ye people of order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
And that you never rise again
And leave me be and leave my friends
I followed him far to a distant land
Where he had been exiled by one single man
His horns they were wicked, his power was great
And you looked in his eyes and were swallowed by hate
He took me to shelter, his humble abode
A pitiful cavern his comrades called home
He handed me bedding and bid me adieu
And I sat and pondered on what I should do
For I craved violence, I crave to be free
From the people who wish to control me
Yes I believe in anarchy’s reign
I know that dictators only bring pain
Oh woe to thee, ye people of order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
And that you never rise again
And leave me be and leave my friends
I prepared for battle, I hoarded and schemed
But I did not know all was not what it seemed
My allies unstable, their loyalty thin
Yes we would have victory but what would we win?
The battle was chaos, blood roared in my ears
A chain of explosions, they looked up with fear
They set up a leader and shouted hoorays
And I shuddered and realized that I’d been betrayed
“Is this what you want, corruption and power?
Well I won’t stand for it, this is my hour!
Take on these beasts, I’m now friend to none
If you think you’re a hero, then die like one”
Oh woe to thee, ye people of order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
And that you never rise again
And woe to those who called me a friend
I fled until silence was all I could hear
The voices once screaming now hummed in my ears
The cold it was lonely but I was alone
And I promised that I’d not let blood taint my home
But then came a message from my only friend
“Oh warrior hide, or else this is the end
They’ve bound up my wings and they hunt for your head
They promised me justice; but they’ll see you dead!”
They came to me with an armed battalion
Held an ax to my innocent stallion
And said “Now it is your turn to bow!
See how the king has fallen now?”
They raised an anvil and laid me below
They thought to crush me painful and slow
But I did live, and I did flee
And I put my pick through the butcher’s teeth
Oh, Woe to thee, ye people of order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
And that you never rise again
And woe to those who called me a friend
(The final verse was in a comment on the original! Elias Wilcoski: / @fishingpepband7786 )
I returned from battle all tattered and worn
And stumbled upon a poor child forlorn
He told me his story, he told me his woes
As I thought up a plan for our mutual foes
I stealthily went to familiar lands
As I gathered my weapons and laid out my plans
But when the poor child spoke with friends he had known
He abandoned our mission and left me alone
I gathered my hounds and made them devour
The allies I once knew; sweet friendships now sour
And let explosions rain from on high
And gladly bid my final goodbye
Oh woe to thee, ye People of Order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
And that you’ll never rise again
And woe to those who called me a friend
Oh woe to thee, ye People of Order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
And that you’ll never rise again
Now leave me be for this is the end

![Ballad of the Lonely - Mumza's Melody [DREAMSMP ORIGINAL SONG]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cusSGLwDk7Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Woah this is awesome!! I'm glad you enjoyed my addition!!
Your verse was BEAUTIFULLY worded, I HAD to include it
YO YOUR THE GUY
I didn't realized until i went to snivys vid
Your addition was awsome
Wait, which part was it? It all sounded amazing!
To those who flock to this on the day such as today, with the news that has come… the ballad has ended… let it never be forgotten
This song just makes him seem more of a legend now that he has passed away. Blood for the blood God.
Blood for the blood god, my people. Blood for the blood god...
Blood For The Blood Gods!
It's continuing on in heaven.
Yes never forgotten
In honor of Technoblade, i wrote a few more verses. Rest in peace, king.
And now here i am, at my journey's end
Fate comes for us all, and i am not exempt
But i will not weep, for i know in my mind
The extent of the legacy i leave behind
A most loyal legion, o'er ten million strong
All of my deeds, now exalted in song
And since I've abolished the domains of men
I ascend to the heavens to do it again
Oh woe to thee, ye people of order
I hope your homes continue to smoulder
And that you never rise again
So long, you nerds and may we meet again
Let this reach top comments
Hope this gets more attention.
Such a perfect addition
Perfect. The ending chorus is light hearted just as he would want it to be
Ayo why that last line hurt so much
"And gladly bid my final goodbye"
That line hits pretty different now
Rest In Peace you Absolute Legend
"Now leave me be for this is the end..."
He WAS the blood god. He now has left, his people needed him.
@@luckyblockstudio9132 now he is the blood god
He was allways the blood god and the god of war no god can kill him but he can end all the gods at once
Anyone notice the grand irony of Techo being dressed as a king? A king who wishes to destroy all kingdoms. Obviously he had the skin for long before the Dream SMP but it is neat to think about the current context of it.
Even anarchists have fashion sense! :D
As Techno said "Anarchists can have style."
He wears a crown and robe for he is his own king, and expects others to do the same for themselves
Well how I see it he is the king of anarchy
@@poisonsteel1616 That is poetic and very in character for techno's character
*”If you think you’re a hero, then die like one.”*
That line. This entire song, *Fucking fantastic*
Well, a bit late to comment, but... methinks 'then come die like one' sounds slightly better. That 'come' fits neatly if 'die' is slightly shortened and makes the song a bit jumpier.
But what is there works well too.
IKR
@@olafmakferson3476 I think it hits harder like that because It's the exact quote.
... I kinda wish i could start a smp ... But then again .. It's best not to ... People who seek order will always rise and fall ..
@@headofathousandsheepswool Actually the exact quote was "You wanted to be a hero tommy, then die like one."
I love how we're just creating whole-ass mythology about a simple block building game
Cuz why not?
@CosmicPug forgive me for my exaggeration
If this is a mythology then Techno is a god of blood indeed
@@whoopsthatsasinisntit Blood for the Blood God!
@@whoopsthatsasinisntit Blood for the Blood God!
"Yes we would have vict'ry, but what would we win?"
This is the most poignant line for me. Techno was never included in talking about the aftermath of overthrowing Schlatt, and he only starts to realise it mid-battle, when it's too late, he's been used as a weapon of war, and cast aside in peacetime.
No, he had a deal with Wilbur, the deal was he’s help and they would destroy l’manberg, he was betrayed and they knew they were traitors
You want to be a hero than die like one
@@steventesoriero24 "they knew they were traitors" Who was the first they and who was the second they. Also, pretty sure Techno had no deal with Wilbur. That was Dream.
@@bluemaster7530 frankly it’s moronic to think he didn’t, he was always 5 steps ahead and believed they were going to do destroy l’manberg with him
@@steventesoriero24 Okay, but how does this prove he had a deal with Wilbur?
Techno: A stoic and battle scarred loner who won't hesitate to bring anarchy to those who've wronged him, but a man of fairness, loyalty, and independence.
Also Techno: *"NEEERD!"*
This is true, like a good dungeons and dragons character.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
I wont say fairness anymore *coigh cough* god help tubbo hes just trying to vibe but technos breathing down his neck for no other reason than because he feels like he can that priveledged op fuck *cough cough* /lh
@@Chronically_Bored simple answer
*the government must fall*
@@melikesmuffins6676 at the cost of an innocent just trying to build a safe home for his family? In which said "government" which isn't even really a government, living across the world from the syndicate who are existing peacefully? And yet they crash the homes of these poor men trying to survive in the cold tundras all under what they call saviour, helping people who never asked for it. It sounds more like a villain conquering the world under one government ; the tyrrany of the syndicate. If they succesfully dismantle every government and everyone lives in fear of them, isn't that just the syndicate cteating a tyrranical government where they are the rulers, stomping out the revolutions of the people under the guise if anarchy. Just because they claim they are for anarchy and without greed, does nit mean their methods are any less tyrranical
The wolf, wither, and tnt sounds at the end were really the cherry on top. A great performance indeed
Chaos isn't an instrument, it is an orchestra.
Chaos, Order, Nature, Nothingness, each have their own unique music, it just takes a special type of person to hear it.
i agree
Yes
it gave me chills, this is awesome!!!
"And it was on that day that they realised techno was not the blood god, simply his executioner"
Wait where is this from like timestamp or is it original
@@shipleypennison2781 neither, it's just a cool line they came up with as far as I'm aware
Oh woe to thee, that plague in his shoulder.
His love and greatness continues to smolder,
Though he will never rise again...
He's left us his legacy and it shall not end.
Imagine this being passed down over the generations and Technoblade officially joins the realm of legends with the likes of Heracles and Cú Chulainn.
The thought of this makes me shiver yo
I blindly stumbled upon this song earlier today and I got a similar vibe. This song definitely has similarities with the epics and legends of ancient heroes. The war, betrayals and general sense of unreasonable bloodlust. It's good.
Also, judging from the comments, this is from a minecraft thing? Never woulda guessed that.
The fact that you think Cu Chulainn is even close to Heracles when it comes to recognition or that a Minecraft character will come anywhere close to either of them is legitimately hilarious.
@@eXJonSnow true, but the song makes ya feel like it could be, doesn’t it?
@@eXJonSnow As true as it is you didn't need to demean the character just because it's from minecraft. That's like saying Call of Cthulu was trash just because H.P Lovecraft wrote it.
it took me way to long to realize this song doesnt have an actual background theme going its literally just someone singing and thats it nothing else
Surprise! :D The human voice is astounding sometimes, isn't it?
@@MizzFishYT yeah holy damn x3
It's like the Pentatonix but it's just one person
Wait really?
Omg I feel like a fool
lol
This is so cool. It’s going to become like a real ballad where they keep adding on more and more verses as the story proceeds
I feel a powerful urge to do this...
Hobson R. Bro do it
@@but-like-why-though1437 hmm. I'll probably start with something small, then eventually I'll consider doing that (plus we need more techno lore)
This is what i thought, can't wait for the next verse
@@swimsanity4736 But Techno would have to upload. So we will be waiting here for some time...
OH MY GODD THIS IS AMAZING
OwO
The woman herself..
I memorized the entire thing
I expected more replies not just 4..... huh
Why hello checkmark
"Technoblade Never Dies"
May this War Ballad carry his legend into infinity.
RIP Technoblade 1999-2022
4:30 I really enjoyed it but lost it at “child” because TommyInnit can’t even be respected in cool Technoblade song
Of course not, He cant hold a sea pickle to Techno
Tommy as a character is literally just a child.
@OddTomato *loud child
@@aeonblade64 I wouldn't wanna meet that guy in real life. Just hearing him rant on and on ignoring what everyone else, without giving them the chance to make an arguments is enough to make my skull pop with fury.
@@oddtomato1049 a child who likes to annoy everyone and constantly speaks in all capital letters
All men do is eat hot chip, betray Technoblade, and lie.
Good revisions. Loved the original and love this one. Here's my Like.
this is a very underrated comment
All men do is eat hot chip, betray Technoblade, and Die.
the lesbians however would never betray technoblade
@@lily2078 Lesbians are not men?
@@oddtomato1049 it’s a joke from one of technos streams where he said lesbians were cool because one called him “actually pretty funny” one time. i know lesbians aren’t men it was just a reference to that
Rip technoblade, you will be eteranlized in the songs and stories you inspired and in the hearts of those you helped out of darkness. May your battles ring out for eternity and the bells of freedom resound wherever your memory lives.
seriously, techno's character kinds of carries a level of insanity
and I loved it
Because sanity isn't fun.
@@borkthedefender3713 tru tru
same
loved.
My boss overheard me listening to this during work. He said "Must be an Irish girl, they're always caterwauling about some guy doing *something*."
I mean he's not 100% wrong.
XD
Lol
Lmaoo
why are all the replies now lmao
He's right but he's rude.
This is so incredible, I love the small changes you added, all the extra sound effects, this is amazing.
I agree with you both of you made awesome work
Thank you! I admit, I was concerned I had gone a bit overboard at first, but I'm super happy with how it came out! Truth be told, there's like 16 different harmonies in the final chorus and I don't regret ANY of them! And slipping in the famous line "If you think you're a hero, then die like one" was a must, lol
@@MizzFishYT I LOVED the inclusion of that line, that was great!
@@TheShinySnivy that line hit different
@@TheShinySnivy HEY, your the orignal guy cool to see you here
I love that "Oh woe to thee, ye people of order" is actually proper english, and not just guessed old-timey speak! In modern English it just says "Oh woe to you, the people of order"
Well, technically, "ye" means "you" but yeah it makes sense
Alternatively "You're all going to die, bitch."
my mother loves this song too.
Not to sound like a complete nerd, but in modern English it would be “Oh woe to you all, you people of order”, ‘cause thee used to be the plural of you, but was dropped with no singular word to replace it. One of the reasons I prefer more old-fashioned vocabulary, old people know how to get sh!t said.
@@CreativRtist OOOOO INTERESTING :D
@@toomaia6284 Well in this case the Y is used in place of Thorn (Þ) which is pronounced as TH.
Death claims kings and beggars. The righteous and the wicked. The harlot and the maiden. The preacher and the scoffer. The legend and the nobody.
THAT UNEXPECTED EXTRA VERSE WAS SO HYPE
I saw some dude comment that verse in the original, it's credited in the comment section. Yeah the final bit was really the climax of the ballad, with all his emotions exploding with the withers and tnt, the unfinished symphony now finished for good.
@@RandomNon I agree but I doubt the symphony is finished. This video has probably created a legacy of adding more and more verses to the song as Technoblade's story on the SMP continues to unfold, much like a real war ballad. And I, personally, would love to see that happen. That being said, the final verse and chorus was truly pog.
@@storyteller357o7 next verse will be about the syndicate to “make sure these things never happen again”
@@storyteller357o7 I imagine techno’s lore keep developping and one day the ballad is an hour total lmao
@@winderwind8489 I’d listen to that
Your voice is so beautiful, and I love the accent you did!
Thank you so much! When I first heard it I immediately thought of Scottish/viking tales of woe and war. You can literally hear me slipping in and out of a Scottish dialect the WHOLE time, it still cracks me up.
@@MizzFishYT lol you have to listen closely with that in mind 10/10
@@MizzFishYT honestly it fits perfectly techno could be the leader of vikings 🤔

A neat addition that I don't think many people would notice is the soft wind blowing throughout the song. It, along with a certain effect (or lack thereof), gives us a fantastic picture of where this song is being sung.
The wind tells us that we're outside on a relatively calm day. Perhaps slightly cloudy.
But the big thing here is the lack of reverb. When a voice stops singing, the sound cuts very quickly.
Reverb is caused by sound waves travelling and bouncing off of objects such as walls or buildings. One of the only places you can naturally get very little reverb when outdoors is in a large field with barely anything around.
And if you piece everything together from there, war ballad, outside, cloudy, large field.
It paints a picture of an empty warzone, either shortly or long after the battle has ended which in turn creates a heart wrenching story.
After the battle, the sole survivor stands alone, crying his emotions out in song as the bodies of his former friends lay all around him.
Even if all this wasn't intentional, this song is an amazing example of how small things like that can add so much depth.
Ah yes book
How dare make me feel.... When you said all the different aspects I thought a potato field but then you hit me with that? That caught me off guard but it makes more sense
@@shipleypennison2781 lol, sorry to hit you with the feels
Or the field near his home
@@LordyLovefall776 AAAAA reeeeeeee (it didnt make me cry but it made me sad but i still regret nothing) /pos
,,For this is the end." Hits different now after what happened....😕
the line my final good bye hits very hard after the news
when you realize people are literally writing songs about the legend of technoblade-
Yknow what they say "Legends never die"
@@garyfleming7011 y'know what else the say
*NOT EVEN CLOSE BABY TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES*
Technoblade is good enough that he deserves it.
As they should be
2000 years from now they'll have a cult based on these guys.
The original version of this song is one of the best Dream SMP fansongs I have ever heard. But it cannot hold a candle to this iteration. The original is very well written; and very well sung, but this is a masterpiece.
The few alterations you have made to the existing lyrics are unilaterally improvements, your harmonies are delicious, and your additional lyrics completing Techno’s story feel like they add to the folk song vibe of it and give it closure. The addition of more harmony and sound effects to the final lyrics is simply beautiful and, in the truest sense of the word, epic.
Did I mention how good your lyrics are?
Because they really are.
They keep the tone of the original, and even enhance it: Take on these beasts, I’m now friend to none, If you think you’re a hero then die like one? Now leave me be, for this is the end?
I have no words for how utterly poggers.
To be that guy, a lot of the lyrics after the original are from a comment under it.
But it would be unfair to say they just duct-taped them together, and all other changes are also very good.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Pog-Champion!!!
The most pogchamp of the pogchamp
Gree to disagree, This one is amazing but I still prefer the original
I won’t let myself stop loving this amazing legacy and work after his passing. RIP Technoblade, we’ll keep you playing on.
Technoblade never dies, he shall live forever in our hearts ❤️
Woe to thee (Syndicate)
But alas I knew, that wasn't the end,
Their governments cruel, won't easily bend,
I am but one man, but I can get more,
A halfling, an arson and an old crow,
They pledget to the cause, deep underground,
Where no one could hear us, where we can't be bound,
Thus always to tyrants, a just end,
Our first target: a crimson egg.
Oh woe to thee, ye people of order,
I hope your homes continue to smolder, and that you never rise again, don't impose a rule or we will be your end.
they came to me to draw me to cause,
they tried to rule me with an evil egg
it entered to my mind tried to rule me
but it was nothing but silence within the voices
the egg was everything i reject before
it was evil, cruel and controlling.
the voices pushed its Voice silenced it down
and we decided that it will be an omlette.
Oh Woe to thee, ye people of order
I hope your homes continue to smolder
and that, you never rise again.
dont impose a rule or we will be your end.
a demon of my past walked to my blade,
his teeth were picked and his eye was lost
"the egg is evil, we need to stop it"
and we teamed for the end of the egg
At the Banquet when all was trapped
we walked in and stood before Egg's minions
a girl shouted "you are mine" and striked them down
and the minions started to run away like chickens.
Oh woe to thee, Ye people of power
I hope your homes continue to smolder
and that you never rise again
dont impose a rule or we will be your end
"and i put my pick through the butchers teeth" this is the reason I name my pickaxe "Butcher's Bane"
As the story progresses people should keep adding to this song. Give techno a proper ballot worthy of a king lol
What it turns out to be 5hrs lol
Id love it
@@1tomuch876 i would love a 5 hr rendition of this song; itll just be Technoblade: the musical
Yas, would be cool if all the people who added finished it together at the end of the whole thing too
@@1tomuch876 Like real ballads, nice
vouch. Itd be so cool
I love the addition of "If you think you're a hero then die like one" and "and I put my pick through the butchers teeth" probably the best technoblade themed song out there.
RIP KING TECHNOBLADE
3:41 made my heart pull a bit. The fact that the only way to beat techno was to threaten one of his last attachments. JUSTICE FOR CARL
Well he doesn't care about Carl persay he just cares about the donations that he brings
JUSTICE FOR CARL

Does this technically mean technoblade is the Tiber Septum of Minecraft?
@@MediaDroid960yes
I imagine as more of Technoblade's Story unfolds, more will continue to be added to this ballad

Like a folk song, with minor lyrical changes each time. It'd be very cool.
I hope so, I hope so much
Oh god, yes, please
I hope so to! Once I get really good at drawing people, I'll animate this
It would be pretty cool
"Is this what you want?! Corruption and power?"
"Well I won't stand for it, this is my hour!"

Me too! 😃😃😃
as soon as that verse was sung i saw this comment
This is beautiful. I've looked at this for five hours now.
I also loved the extra detail of the wither spawn noise in the background of the last line.
i sang those lyrics in my head and i had got the "Number 15 Burger King foot lettuce"
(The person who said it and for some reason I am righting this with the impression of that person in my head)
I came to my home, triumphant with valor
And met friends opposed to tyranny's power
I 'stablished my throne as the king of the north
Daring any one man to attack and come forth
Little did I know of the damage at hand
Til' great vines of blood came to take 'way my land
My blade shall not waver with friends at my side
The egg will be broken, though it tries to hide
But then I heard of a nearby kingdom
Who claimed they had nobody to lead them
They said I had no real reason to fear
"There isn't a government being built here"
The base was secretly filled with great weapons
Their master plan to bring down all their dangers
If their true intent is directed at me
It will be their last hour, just wait and see
Oh woe to thee, ye People of Order
I burned your homes they continue to smoulder
And now you'll never rise again
This is my kingdom and these are my friends
That is good
NEXT VERSE POG
nice
This would be an awesome final verse
@@tylersteed7824 Nah cause there would be a verse after bout being stuck in jail with dream.

I miss him so fucking much.
Is there anything special you did to make your voice sound so clear? Did you use any special editing techniques? I'm curious what microphone you used, I always seem to get some white noise with mine (which I masked using the wind sound).
I use an Audio-Technia (AT2020) mic with a cheap pop filter over the top for recording! As for white noise, I am currently in a room that has no windows and is n my basement. Surrounding yourself in thick blankets also helps to reduce outside noise!
As for editing, audio-wise I use GarageBand on my computer! There's a way to adjust mic sensitivity so it will only pick up your voice other than the static of reality (This also works to cut out breaths!). If all else fails; Reverb helps mask white noise a TON!! :D
@@MizzFishYT Thank you so much!
about a week late and you already got a reply but something that i'd definitely recommend is recording about five seconds of background noise before talking. This way, you can put your audio in Audacity and then use the "Noise Removal" tool to remove background sound. However, just wearing a blanket or comforter over yourself and mic like Mizz Fish said also works!
@@MizzFishYT Lazy Purple also says placing the blanket over your person while you record on your mic
@@TheShinySnivy they are microphone that do the job of garageband for you also ^^
I've been thinking, character wise, what Techno's backstory is from before the SMP story and what I think would fit is this:
Technoblade was a disciple of a far off kingdom's league of religious city guards tasked with protecting the king and his family. He was brighted eyed, enthusiastic, and painfully, stupidly _naive._ He thought his country was just and good, but over the years he had to watch, sidelined and powerless, as the government oppressed and brutalised it's people for the sake of gaining and maintaining their status and wealth. He tried to push back, tried to sway his friends' loyality to the regime but they outcast him and abandoned him for their king, for their government, and seeing the pain and suffering he decided he had no choice but put a stop to it.
In the dark of night, with the methodical nature of a devout follower of the Blood God of the Guard, he eliminated the king and his council before fleeing his city, his family, friends, and home, knowing there was no longer a place for him there.
He was a wanted man with no place to call his own and no one on his side.
He roamed for years, surviving off the land and what he could earn through bloodsport and prize fights, gaining the reputation among his opponents of a skilled and efficient fighter in the ring, a man unhinged with nothing to live for but everything to die for. His notoriety rose and rose, and he ended up in a title fight for the ages. His opponent? A mysterious man from a distant and young land, tumultuous and warring, who went only by _Dream._
The disciple of the Blood God ended the fight bloodly but victorious, his god well fed, and slipped away in the clamour and celebration of his triumph. He thought that would be the last he would see of the insidious Dream.
Months laters, battle forgetten and wandering without aim, the warrior stumbled across a young man, no more than a child, tattered and in tow a man injured and broken. They bargained for his aid and he joined their rebellion, a rebellion against a corrupt government and a powerful dictator. It was familiar, it became _home._ It was not as it was in the past, they understood him, they valued him. They were brothers in arms, not contenders in a cruel hierarchy.

Edit: I have offically begun the planning process to turn this into an actual story! If you want to keep updated on it follow my Twitter @TyrTheExtraord1 and keep an eye on my Ao3 account Tyr_The_Extraordinaire. I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support for this idea, this originally started as just a vent for my thoughts on the SMP and DSMP!Techno but seeing people's interest in this little blurb has really motivated me to flesh this out into an actual narrative. So thank you guys so much!
[Edit] I have a prologue up on my Ao3 now! Feel free to give it a read. Link: archiveofourown.org/works/30299829
Ooh I love this. People could totally make a book out of this stuff basing it off of the Dream SMP.
@@tuckermiller9137 that's actually what I've considered, like rewriting the events into a novel form and putting it on ao3 or smth.
And is Phil someone from his country who Techno knew before leaving.
@@gracefoster-christie3945 If you make a novel out of the dream smp imma buy a copy for 90€
@@harrywilson4162 Either he was someone that helped him escape the city or he rescued Techno from starvation or exposure when he was on the run and on the verge of death, his guardian angel so to speak.
I have a feeling that this song will keep on having new parts being added to it after new stuff happens to Techno, and when it is finished, this song is going to be like and hour long about his legends, feats, and wins.
Long live the blood god, and long live Techno.
I'm fully in favor of this turning into an epic poem
I will pay for this to continue.
well, I guess we have our ending now, huh?

THATS IT! TIME TO MAKE A TECHNOBLADE NPC FOR MY DND CAMPAIGN
Same
Animal domain cruasder cleric works pretty well. (animal companion being steve the bear) this is in pathfinder. There are fewer good options in 5e
The old weary deadly adventurer. Do _not_ double-cross him, or he will destroy everything you love, have ever loved, and will ever love.
Yeah, it' really fun to try and make one, I made one that's more of a *reference* to him rather than straight up Technoblade, so I went with Changeling, but the rest is still pretty accurate. I went with Battlemaster fighter and went for a bunch of commander type abilities because of how he lead most of the revolutions into battle and is now technically in charge of the syndicate.
Dude I literally made a huge portion of my campaign basted off of things from Technoblade the bad guys are, as far as my party is concerned, a bunch of anarchists and they are literally call the Syndicate for lack of a better name. Little do they know that the NPC I introduced in session two is actually the leader and the BBEG and just wants to take over the world. It’s going to be a fun reveal.
It's amazing really.
The lyrics are something that you'd expect techno to scream in anger while standing in his Arctic home.
But instead it's delivered in a silent fury accompanied by many voices in his head.
Absolutely beautiful.
Got news that Techno passed, losing his battle to cancer. The brave soldier has moved on to challenge the kingdom of God. May he rest in peace
I just realized- Why is that skull in his hand so small? Wither skulls should be particularly large. Unless it’s not a wither skull... is it an orphan skull?
Well his sword *IS* called ‘The Orphan Obliterator’
That or this is "Beast Techno" and he's just that much bigger and intimidating than the average character.
OH. MY. GOD.
THE CHILLS AT THE END.
THE CHILLS.
GLORIOUS.
AAAA I KNOW! I've been fangirling over this for the past week oml
It’s on Spotify now!!
@@abbybominable369 Holy shit, really?!
the way you added more voices harmonizing to "see how the king has fallen now?" immediately made me think it wasnt the butcher army saying this, but _chat._ lovely cover!
Edit: It was an honor to make an animatic of this man when I did. I know he probably didn't see it, but it was still an honor anyways. Rest well, king. You know we've got your back when you dismantle the kingdom of god
Ah... too bad for them, Technoblade Never Dies :D
The whole Totem of Undying thing was absolute genius.

Rest in peace TechnoBlade, you were the carrier of the Dream SMP. You defeated every threat against you, and you ended your life in a draw.
My mom had me play my playlist in the car and she decided this was about Ireland breaking free from England and I'm kinda dying now-
same tho. i spent a full 30 minutes explaining what it was about to my family and only my siblings got it :'D
The song shall continue to keep getting longer as Technoblade continues.
it will just continue and continue since technoblade never dies !
Eventually there's just going to be like a 50 minute version of this---
Id listen to it on loop for 5 days-
the eternal ballad
SMP's main protagonist wasn't Dream, the ruler of the world, but the man who laid down his weapon to farm crops... The farmer who was brought back to war and rekindled his bloodlust, only to be betrayed at the end of it all... This is the story of Technoblade, the Anarchist Pig.
Then came Ranboo and his silk touch hands... Nope, not gonna explain it. I'm not dealing with him.
I mean tommy's clearly meant as the protagonist, but the point of the SMP is that everybody's important and the only good people are the dead ones
it’s a matter of perspective
The entire fall of L'Manburg arc, and Techno's near execution, shaped into a sea shanty! I love it!!!
I would say it's more like a battle song ?
While he may be gone, at least we will remember what he stood for. He may be gone, but his spirit lives on. For Technoblade may die, but the mark he left in the community remains. Technoblade truly never dies, LONG LIVE THE BLOOD GOD! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!
One thing that stands out to me is Techno calling Tommy a poor child even when he betrays him. It makes me wonder if Techno feels sorry for Tommy, going back to a failing country, even though he hurt him.
I definitely think he does. Tommy had finally been a brother in Anarchy for Techno, a friend. I like to think Techno didn't enjoy what he had to do to Tommy in the final battle over L'manburg, as Techno longed for his friend back, his brother, in a sense.
@@tuckermiller9137 I think Techno obviously knows what it's like to be used. And he sees Tommy being used.
@@xxwolfrocksxx1829 Definitely. Techno wants the best for Tommy, it pains him to see him going through it.
@@tuckermiller9137 it also pains ME LMFAO I really hope they make up later :( Techno has Phil and Ranboo and Tommy has Sam, but I really wanna see them all as one big happy family!
@@xxwolfrocksxx1829 Wait but Ranboo is like Techno and Phil's child (not literally but like it's their dynamic), which means that if they came together, Ranboo would be like Tommy's brother, but he's also married to Tommy's adopted brother/best friend?
Oh my god, you adding tommy's betrayal too. I was hoping shiny would make a remake of this song, with tommy's exile and betrayal, but you did it and i thought 1st your added lyrics Won't be as good as shiny, but i was wrong, your lyrics perfect (in my opinion). I want techno to see video so much
We need a song where these two just keep adding lyrics as the smp goes on
Those lyrics were actually written in a comment on the original video from another listener. She notes that in the description with the lyrics
@@matthewm.7623 Yeah, i saw that later in description, but the link didn’t work for me to watch those comment.
Only wish there was a verse with him and dream teaming up
I think it was kind of implied in the ending
"Technoblade Never Dies"
Songs like these will make sure that his memory never will
I decided to listen to this after hearing about techno’s death, I could hardly get a minute in without crying. We lost a legend but our memories of him will live on.
What I wouldn't give to see someone make an orchestral instrumental to back this up... It would be perfection.
I might work on a violin cover, probably wont post it though since the recording would be trash
I can only play drums which sadly do not go well with folk cottagecore aesthetic songs
Someone pointed out in snivys version how it works better with no instruments. Its simple, clear and without bias to him being good or evil. Its a song from the perspective of a strait forward and proudless man
Bruh, a ballad is usually sung, pure.
Maybe a guitar one to make a feeling of old ballad
I love how at 5:13 the hounds barking and snarling and the explosions and withers become almost like instruments in a song, playing a rhythm
It is a real ballad now
Rest in peace to the blade! As they say everyone person has 2 deaths, one when they're gone, and another when they are forgotten. If this is truly the case then the blade will never die...
"I put my pick, in the butcher's teeth" isn't that the scene when technoblade escaped the execution and used a netherite pickaxe against quackity lol
Yeah all these lines are basically Technoblade's whole lore
the two people that dislike probably just misclicked. No way they disliked this video
No there most likely Australian
Rest in peace Techno.
A beautiful song for a legendary man.
I love the line "Yes we would have victory, but what would we win?"
It perfectly encapsulates how war actually makes people feel. Just love that line.
Edit: I also love some of the other verses but I dont feel like writing all that out-
At the final iteration of this Ballad, when the SMP storyline finally ends, a collab between everyone that covered the song and added more lines would be a great conclusion for this song.
Today a legend has passed and will not soon be forgotten...
Dude, the fact that when “If you think your a hero then die like one!” is sang it plays the sound effect for when you spawn a wither. Literal Chills
can we just acknowledge the amount of teeth in that skull? like the song is an amazing cover but why so many teeth? whos skull is that? so many questions
Bro, I'll be honest, I have NO idea how teeth work. Mayhaps one wither had too much dental work, HAHA
Mr. Wither can you please tell me why you need to have more teeth then what is considered healthy?
HE CHOMP

Being music/choir nerd and a DSMP/Techno fan , this brings me such joy! It's just so good!
Thank you! Can you tell I'm a choir kid too? Haha! Theatre and Choir prepared me for this ballad, tbh.
Hey *ChAd*
"If you wish to be a hero, then die like one'"
Damn this quote, this entire video hits so different and deep now. You were a great hero to many including myself. Even when you were in so much pain you still worked to put a smile on our faces. God bless you and your family. Rest in peace Technoblade.
The world has been shook, and we are all grieving, regardless of what the future brings, we will remember, and never forget, Technoblade. Our Hero who never gave up, who fought till the last second.
I have never watched Dream SMP, and I know literally nothing about it. This song is so freaking good it it compelling me to start diving into that rabbit hole of content
(Edit): Technoblade never dies

it's been nine months, how's the rabbit hole?

RIP Technoblade 😔
"If you think you are a hero, then die like one"
Damn that hits hard
This here song in this here version introduced me to Technoblade and after that to the dsmp side of mcyt. One of the best things youtube ever did. Tossing this song here into a medival folk playlist. I'm just sad that I didn't realize what this song was about earlier and couldn't spend more time as a Technoblade fan.
Thank you Mizz Fish for this amazing cover, thank you youtube for showing me this song and thank you Technoblade for being our Blood God.
Good luck in conquering the kingdom of god. Your voices will cheer you on.
...So... his ballad has come to an end.
Rest in Peace, Technoblade.
You brought joy to so many with skills you refined so well, you did so much for so little.
You will NOT be forgotten.
That ending is so powerful especially with the tnt on beat this needs to be on spotify
Would it be narcissistic for me to loop a cover of my own song on Spotify? Because I would do it
@@TheShinySnivy I mean if you did a cover, of this cover that would be the ultimate cover.
@@TheShinySnivy Wait until there's more verses to add ;)
"If you think you're the hero, then die like one." :A wither sounds:
Bro the wither sound gives me shivers every time.
that line is the best line any villain can ever say so
makes sense
@@strawberryseal1851 Agreed.
2:50
A ballad truely worthy of such a legendary man. His song will be carved into the ages, as Technoblade never dies.
The added sound effects in the final chorus at 5:16 landing on tempo make it feel so much more full and powerful and just intimidating.
I get all the Celtic Woman vibes from this and they're perfect
More fit with Norse cultures, celts were peaceful and their songs were about religion and were singed for ritualistic purposes, when norse songs were about war, seas and people
@@ladec4539 well maybe but Celtic Woman is a singing group :P
It sounds like something a tavern npc in skyrim would sing
Glorious rendition, I actually had chills with the lyrical additions, and the repeat on the ending chorus was perfect!
11 months later, still hits hard, more verses should be added
This is how I imagined he battle cancer..down to tye last explosion
how can someone make wither noises sound musical? what power do you musicians hold??? you people are Gods
I'm not sure if anyone here is an elder scrolls fan but mizz fish is a tonal architect, and one who can steal power from anything
thanks bro
I bring blessings apon your crops and harvests this year
No, you dont understand, IM OBSESSED WITH THIS. I FULLY MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE AN ANIMATIC OF THE LAST PART. I HAVE LITERAL CHILLS.
Long live the blood god o7, he was a great content creator and we've heard of his great friendships, may he rest in peace... his memory will never die
now this is something I'd want Sad-ist to animate
