It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic

One game, one soul, one die, one roll,
One simple rule – that’s what should be

One system breaks the paradigm
Those “mystic strikes” – a waste of time

The maths that break inside the rules
Mean mystic heroes must be fools

This martial-arts irrelevance
Is banished now by common sense

This was a kind of magic
A rather useless one
Those rules that stumped a thousand games
Will soon be gone

Playtesters said they didn’t work
But they got left in by some berk

This martial-arts irrelevance
Is banished now by common sense

* * *

(It's a kind of magic)
(It's a kind of magic)

* * *

Those rules that stumped a thousand games
Will soon be, will soon be,
Will soon be gone

This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah)
A rather useless one (one one one)
Those rules that stumped a thousand games
Will soon be gone (gone)

Magic – it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic magic magic (magic)
Ha ha ha haa – it's magic
