Inside sources obtained an early draft of CCP Guard’s final farewell song, as he decides that even the music industry is more stable than games. This piece, strongly reminiscent of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” is rumored to be the first of several pieces Guard is composing and will make available to Patreon subscribers:
It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I need a step ladder although I’m full grown
I’ll still be with you, although I won’t be the same Guard you once knew
Although I can drink now in the day
On drunk roams and gatecamps with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life at CCP
Locked up in a basement, staying out of the sun
So I chose Fanfest, running around drinking everything new
But nothing impressed me like you
I never expected it to
Don’t cry for me please, New Eden
The truth is, I’ll never leave you
I’ll have a new clone, most skills all trained up,
Might be your FC
Might blow your ship up
And as for the band, as for CSM
You’ll all be just fine I am sure
Though it seemed to the world I’m an integral part
You do not need me, you have the ship friendship that’s all that you need
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don’t cry for me please, New Eden
Don’t cry for me please, New Eden
The truth is, I’ll never leave you
I’ll have a new clone, most skills all trained up,
Might be your FC
Might blow your ship up
