Many, many years ago, I was introduced to Hammerfall, and especially their album Crimson Thunder, with the song of the same name. At that time, we did a lot Freifunk installations and crimped a lot of cables. On the way back from one of those installations, I heard said album, and it struck me: They are singing about the Crimpson Thunder, so had to look into the text, and see what can be done about it, and here we are.
I present: The Crimpson Thunder – networker’s version:
We are the packets in the dark
Inside the fiber we are the
Eternal Spark that will guide the way
We are the stars up in the sky
We gather winds so you can fly
We are the beam when you’re sending
All your links can come up
Where do we go?
We’re just a next-hop away
Follow the signs of the Crimpson Thunder
We will stay by your side
Let our labels be there to guide you
We are the forces in the rain
Inside your net, we are the
unending answer to all your pings
So take a step towards the shell
The Crimpson sky fulfills the night
The revelation is near
All your links can come up
here do we go?
We’re just a next-hop away
Follow the signs of the Crimpson Thunder
We will stay by your side
Let our labels be there to guide you
