Surprise WIP ballads!!
My best friend, Ekqo, has a fantasy story going on called “The King’s Demon”. I am totally excited to see the story and I even asked at one point to do some writing, but was flatly rejected (which is understandable).
But she didn’t say anything about songs. ;) I was at work, bored out of my mind and suddenly I was struck with inspiration. I was motivated by the “Misty Mountain” song in the Hobbit trailer and the fact that Ekqo recently answered some deep questions about her story! So here we go!
(NOTE: these are Works In Progress, meaning I haven’t finished tweaking them!)
The King’s Demon ( main ballad sung by male bards)
They say it came
O’er the mountains High
Our lord’s own spectre
Born of blazin’ sands
To render men’s hearts
Asunder
Our clever king
used his steel wit
Tricked that demon
an unholy knight
By its chained hands
our land is free
Only by its hands
we are free
Dark Morning Star (sung by female bards)
Dark morning star
Eclipse our shining lord
Raise your bloodied sword
Take all of our scars
The sands birthed you
The sun fathered you
O heartless Shade
Rise, for our king
Your master above all
Demands your existence
Rise, Dark Morning Star
Eclipse our beloved lord
Defend him, heartless shade
Raise your bloodied sword!
