Lament of Captain Placeholder

The Lament of Captain Placeholder was a song created for the beta NPC Captain Placeholder after Blizzard had removed him from the game. The song was written and recorded in 2005 by a dedicated player going by the alias Eledainn, and was later covered by Cranius. This version has since featured on album releases by both Cranius and the band Garbo.
::–Verse 1–
::On the stormy shores of Azeroth,
::A silhouette did stand.
::A brave and stalwart sailor
::Who gave a helpin' hand.
::Without fail, on every whim,
::Which we did demand,
::He simply smiled and waved his hand,
::And sent us 'cross the land.
::–Chorus–
::Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
::Your ship has sailed to sea.
::We'll tip our hats and pray one day
::To be as great as thee.
::Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
::As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
::–Verse 2–
::Time did pass, until, one day,
::That silhouette did fade.
::Where once we found Placeholder
::Only scattered winds remained.
::The stormy sea went silent
::On that dark and dreary day.
::But come along, my friends,
::Let's raise a glass up for his name!
::–Chorus–
::–Musical Interlude–
::–Verse 3–
::So when you find yourself lamenting
::On that lonely pier,
::Watching as the ships come in,
::And dryin' off your tears,
::Believe in what he stood for,
::And I know that he’ll survive.
::Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
::Will always be alive!
::–Chorus–
