Riddles

Is it hip-hop music?

[cantab]

What about a referee's whistle? That would account for the reference to shoes, most sports have specialist footwear.

[Starwhip]

National Anthem?

Ah, that doesn't really work.

EDIT:

Sheesh, I thought dragons were good at riddles

Tap dancing?

Going to church?

A bunker?

Nope.

"Menace be mustered with psalms and shoes". Wha???

Does that imply singing at people before kicking them? [the images that come to mind...]

And then sieges... Hmm.

Is it just war?

Of course not. It's not entirely unrelated, though.

Is it hip-hop music?

I've not a clue where that came from, but nope. xD

Nope, though that's an interesting angle.

Ehehehe. Keep trying.

'Tis the tune of an ancient song; Most hip-hop has simple beats, the most ancient of songs.

The harbinger's call heralds harms, Violence at hip-hop shows and among the artists themselves is notoriously big.

Gathers rich, poor, right and wrong. Hip-hop is enjoyed by the rich and poor, good and bad.

Menace be mustered with psalms "Gangsta" hip hop sometimes incites violence against others.

And shoes; let the sieges begin. Many hip hop artists endorse shoe lines, and "rap battles' are a thing.

Every man has their day, "Look, if you had one shot|Or one opportunity|To seize everything you ever wanted.|One moment|Would you capture it|Or just let it slip?"

Every man has their flaws and sin, No explanation needed.

But all today enter, and pray. Many rappers are devout and thank $Deity for their success.

[Joshwoo70]

Vexx32 can tell us the answer please?

War!?

[vexx32]

A rap battle is hardly a siege -- they last all of a few minutes?

No, it's not hip hop.

Not war either.

My last guess before I go to sleep:

The call of a new KSP update. (The Hype)

I know, T.F.R.

(I'll let you figure what that means on your own )

EDIT:

It's sounding more ridiculous by the moment...

[vexx32]

Sorry, but nope.

[Souper]

This isn't ogre yet. i WILL solve this riddle!

[vexx32]

I'm hearin' an awful lot of talk from you. Come on, let's see whatcha got.

'Tis the tune of an ancient song;

The harbinger's call heralds harms,

Gathers rich, poor, right and wrong.

Menace be mustered with psalms

And shoes; let the sieges begin.

Every man has their day,

Every man has their flaws and sin,

But all today enter, and pray.

The bible?

......

[vexx32]

Nope, though I kind of see why you'd think that... but I'd never be so overt.

[WinkAllKerb'']

Some pisces, may be off water.

[vexx32]

I honestly don't know what you're getting at there. If that was a guess, then nope.

[Joshwoo70]

Vexx32 and your signature?

[vexx32]

Nope.

[Souper]

A nuclear bomb?

[Red Iron Crown]

Time to do a cantab and add a few lines, vexx32, we're obviously stumped.

[vexx32]

That escalated quickly. Nope.

Added a few more lines to the riddle.

At sovereign behest, the day is done,

But only then, and not before.

The endless songs are sung in fun,

Yet the silent song has solemn core.

[cantab]

That just makes it even more baffling...

Is it The Last Post? (The bugle call played at military funerals and remembrance ceremonies).

Edit: Or, for a completely different interpretation, the Windows startup tune.

[vexx32]

Negative to both of those.

(Yeah, I tend to be cryptic about further hints just about as much as I am with the initial riddle.)

[Souper]

Life?

(10chars)

Edited September 13, 2014 by vexx32
Yeah, how about no. Rules are rules.

[vexx32]

Nope.

Life is too expansive to be reduced to songs and shoes...

[cantab]

Ok guess random old stuff: the Big Bang? CMB? Cosmic Neutrino Background?
