I've been seeing all these song parodies and have wanted to write one of my own. My IRL beau recently introduced me to the game Portal (from the Orange Box), and at the end, after you defeat GLADOS, she sings a cute little song called "Still Alive." Here is my version called "Still Undead," dedicated to Magnagora and the fall of New Celest. Please be aware that I will admit it's not great, but I like it.

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, huge success
Watching your Supernals fall before me
And killing your people
Those fish who make up your populous
You don't seem to realize that we are going to win
And there's no sense crying over fish that are dead
If you think you'll kill us you are out of your head
Cause there's no way to defeat
Those whose hearts do not beat
You can't slay us, we're all still undead

We'll taint all your water
We'll dirty the puddle you call home
You can beat us up, it doesn't matter
Your options are waning
You better think fast or else you're through
What's the point? You know by now
That we will just trash your town
And we'll burn your homes and plague you with boils
And taint every square inch of Celestian soil
Because that is our job
We're a very insane mob
But you can't kill us, we're still undead

Go ahead and drown us
None of us really need to breathe
Though the water burns us just a little
Try serenading...
The Cantors? Haha, I don't think so
They couldn't hold a tune if it
Was in a ten gallon tub
So just come at us with your ice and your swords
And your staves and symbols to your misguided Lords
But you're going to lose
So you might as well snooze
As we maim you, cause we're still undead

You'll be screaming and we're still undead
You'll be praying and we're still undead
You can try it, but we're still undead
There's no point because we're still undead
Kiss Celest goodbye, we're still undead
Still undead
Still undead

Hah, I love it! I've had Still Alive stuck in my head all this week too.
