Morden was a courier from the land that the Shadows won,
With a PPG for hire and fighting to be done.
The deal was made with Londo in the Zocalo one day
So he set out from the Icarus to blow the Narns away.
Morden the PP Gunner.
Through fifty-nine and sixty they fought the Shadow War,
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore.
For months and months they battled the Drazi to their knees.
They killed to bait the Vorlons and to help out the Centauri.
Morden the PP Gunner.
The Shadows fought beside him, plus Justin and the rest,
But of all the PPG’ers, Morden was the best.
So the AoL decided they wanted Morden dead
And that sonofabitch Mollari, cut off Morden’s head.
Morden the headless PP Gunner.
Sneaking little runt.
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
Barging in and asking "what do you want?"
Barging in and asking "what do you want?"
Morden searched the Centarum for the man who cut him short;
He found him in the palace, in a throne room drinking port.
Morden aimed his PPG--he didn’t say a word,
He put a Keeper on Mollari, and a Drakh in his cupboard.
Morden the headless PP Gunner.
This infernal PP Gunner, still wandering though the skies
Now it’s ten years later, and he still damns Londo’s eyes.
For Minbari, for Pak’Ma’Ra, for Earther-slime and Drazi,
Morgan Clark heard the bark of Morden’s PPG
And bought it.
