Lyrics:
I used to rule the world
Chunks would load when I gave the word
Now every night I go stow away
Hide from the mobs I used to slay
They once were terrified
Every time I looked into their eyes
Villagers would cheer my way
For a hero I was, that's what they'd say
One minute we had it all
Next our world began to fall
Away from all that it had once become
They all cried for my help, but I stood there numb
I gaze off into the boundless skyline
Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
And hope one day that this chaos and
Destruction turns for the better
Never a bow in hand
And that was when I ruled the land
It was the creepers and Skeletons
Blew down the doors and boxed us in
Arrows whizzing by like streaks of light
I tried all that I could to stay and fight
As the undead roamed the street
Families broken at my feet
Life itself suspended by a thread
Oh, why is it that I wasn't dead
I gaze off into the boundless skyline
Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine
Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield
The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield
If this battle should leave me slain
I know that Herobrine calls my name
Better to take a stand
And that was when I ruled the land

Damn, surprise I’m not the only one 12 years later
The king is truly one of the most powerful yet traumatized characters of all time, he has: - Stolen an artifact from Herobrine - Tamed a Warden - Build a kingdom from the ground-up - Had his kingdom razed to the ground by Herobrine - Brutally lost his wife - Escaped from his Kingdom's demise, and thus Herobrine via a genius escape mechanism - Tamed the Ender Dragon to fight alongside his long-lost, now mature son in a battle with a giant piglin mech - Watched his son sacrifice himself on a nuclear bomb to save everyone - Somehow survived through all of this

I used to listen to these all the time, I am now 20, and I've spent the last 3 hours watching these old videos crying. I know the chances of the creator of this seeing this comment are astronomical simply because the video is 12 hears old, but if you do, you granted me a childhood, you gave me the escape I needed and I'm sure countless others got this as well. You are my childhood. You are the people I looked up to. I missed you like hell. Thank you for everything.

We're not really crying because of the song; we're crying because those days were so special. They were full of fun, no worries, like being a kid without any chores or worries. The world seemed amazing, but unfortunately, everything has deteriorated drastically for all of us since then, and life hasn't been the same.
Crazy how at 2:30 the lyrics can officially say 'sword and shield' instead of 'sword and wield'. Crazy this was already 12 years ago

Minecraft brought us all together in those long gone days... Perhaps we fought eachother in mineplex and never knew, i cant say. But i can say that together we all made this era, our childhood what it was together. We didnt even know how much it would come to mean. Some youtubers truly lifted it and gave us material things to remember it by, but it was all of us together who made it FEEL the way it was. So to everyone who sees this, thank you, for making our childhood awesome....

When I was 8, I cried when the creeper blew up the bridge.
I remember the times of running to my friends house after school in 2015 just to play minecraft, eventually got a computer with minecraft and played until 2022. Really shaped my 2020 covid times. This video used to be me and my brothers childhood, we would watch this on repeat. Got instant goosebumps again at the part where he fell off the castle ledge because i never used to understand why he did that as a kid. Lovely memories to have for a lifetime.

When a minecraft parody tells a better story than your short story project.
This is an instant childhood favorite
Just write out a novelization of the video, submit it, and see if your teacher catches on
CommercialChaSe Yea, what Mildly Concerned Doe said. Due to the pandemic right now, school is online rn for my province, and *better yet, we're not getting grade reductions on our tests/assignments.* If that is the case for you, it would be hilarious if you submitted the song word for word. Worst case scenario is that you get a 0 but it wont affect your mark negatively; nothing gained, nothing lost. Best case scenario, you get 100%, so your teacher has excellent music taste :)
Big mood but true
Same. If I could do my final dissertation turning this into a short story based game I would.
