League of Legends: The Spirit of Snowdown

League of Legends presents a trailer for Snowdown, its annual holiday event. More information about the event can be found here.

Gather ‘round the fire, dear friends; settle in for a treat
There’s so much to tell; grab a chair, take a seat.

We hope you’re all cozy; our friends are here too
Look now, there’s Gnar, all bristly and blue
It’s snowing! He’s growing! Watch out for the ice!
It’s Snowdown, little yordle: be cool, play nice!
Always practice kindness, big fella, you don’t need a reason
Look! Even these guys are embracing the season!

It’s a magical time, so don’t be a brat
We’re in this together yordle, human, and…what’s that?

Oh, it’s Bard, bundled up, doesn’t he look so snug?
What’s this, you bring gifts, like warm cocoa in a mug?
How thoughtful, how sweet – are those your little friends?
But is any of this real, or are we just playing pretend?
We must leave you now, Bard. Anything more to say?
[Bard warbles incoherently]
Same to you, dear wanderer! Have a happy snow day!

Who’s that there? So lovely, quite dashing
Ah it’s Syndra in splendid garb, not a bit of it clashing
A mighty sorceress indeed: your power is stunning
Look at them go, hah! There’s no use running

Her cold is too bold
It’s broken the mold
There’s no hope for you when her ice’s taken hold
But, it’s Snowdown, sweet Syndra: take a break from this violence
Let us savor this season of peace, love, and silence

But Ziggs still loves Snowdown, and he’s brought friends along.
Hey! Please stop that now! You’re doing it wrong!
Tis the season for peace, not for war
That’s not what all of these snowballs are for!

Stop fighting
Stop thrashing
Stop bickering and bashing
You’ll ruin everything with your constant harassing!
Snowdown is ruined; it’s over, it’s done.

Then again, all this mayhem does look rather fun.
Perhaps the true spirit of Snowdown is this,
It’s bedlam and brawling, flinging magic and fists.
So build up an ice fort! Let those snowballs take flight!
Snowdown is here! Grab a friend, join the fight!
