There are many covers of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire that adapt it to different times, but we wanted to give it the bardcore treatment. *Unlike the original, the list is not chronological, and jumps around in time a lot. It very loosely spans from around 400 to 1600, and is from a rather Eurocentric point of view. Thank you to my brother, Friar Funk, for devising the lyrics and providing the majority of the vocals. Many thanks as well to his new wife and our dad for joining us in the chorus at the end.

Lyrics:
Eleanor of Aquitaine,
Charles the 6th
Hath gone insane
Reconquista
Geoffrey Chaucer,
Michelangelo
Marco Polo,
Magna Carta
Christian Schism
Siege of Acre,
Byzantine iconoclasm
Guillaume de Machaut
We did not start the fire
It was always burning as the world was turning
We did not start the fire
No we did not light it, but we tried to fight it
Charlemagne,
Alfred
Anne Boleyn
Without a head
Few things
Here to read
But the Nibelungenlied
Castile with
Aragon
Second pope in Avignon
Novgorod,
Chinggis Khan
Beowulf, Decameron
CHORUS
Henry Tudor,
Saladin
Richard and the Winter King
Lindisfarne,
Norse raids
Children on crusade

King John
Kalmar Union,
Hanseatic trade.
Kipchaks
Horseback
Constantinople sacked
Song of Roland,
Silk demand,
Wallachia,
Holy Land
Grunwald,

Spaniards in a strange land
Fatimids,
El Cid
Ottoman invasion
Rashidun Arabia

Hussites,
Swiss pikes
Executing Templar Knights

What else do I dare to say?
CHORUS
Nicaea,
Troubadours
William Wallace torn in four
Falkirk
Glasswork
Stamford Bridge,
Göktürks

Lombards
Habsburgs,
Bannockburn
Church denied by Thomas More
Montezuma is no more
Curse this German Peasants’ War
I can't take it anymore!
We did not start the fire
It was always burning as the world was turning
We did not start the fire
But when we are gone, it shall still burn on and on and on
We did not start the fire
It was always burning as the world was turning
We did not start the fire
No we did not light it, but we tried to fight it
