LOL this one!

Dang it, I had things I wanted to get done tonight. Oh well, here goes. 

"Do you wanna kill some evil?"

Vasher?

Do you wanna kill some evil?
Come on let’s go and slay!
You never draw me anymore
Unsheath a little more
It's like you've gone away-
We used to fight off armies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!-
Do you wanna kill some evil?
It doesn't have to be some evil.

Vasher: Be quiet Nightblood

Nightblood: Okay, bye...

Do you wanna kill some evil?
Or cut our way right through some walls
I think executions are overdue
I've started talking to
This weird fisher oddball-
(You can admire me some more, old Chapps!)
It’s best when someone draws me,
And I get to kill,

Just draining their Breaths away-
<humming>

Vasher?

Please, I know you’re out there,
I’ve been asking where Shashara’s been
You say we killed her,  and Arsteel too
But I’m ignoring you, don’t keep me in
We only have each other
It's just me and you
And I guess Vivenna, too...

Do you wanna kill some evil?

 

That was great, and thanks for the positive opinion. I will be back soon with more parodies!

*I can't claim credit for the original idea on this one: that goes to @tecslicer and @Claincy who came up with it in this thread (which has some other great song ideas in it, like Bridge Four signing "He's a bit of a Fixer Upper" to Shallan and Kaladin). :lol:

Oh my goodness, I cracked up so much at this!! XD If someone does "Fixer Upper" with Shalladin I will find a way to hack the Shard and give you 1000 upvotes*

 

*not really because I have no hacking skills but I will at least give you 1 ^^. I might try to do it myself later, haven't heard the song in forever though.

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from Les Mis for Kaladin.... :(

As requested:

Spoiler

"Empty Vests and Empty Sandals" (to the tune of "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables")

There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty vests and empty sandals,
Now my men are dead and gone.…

There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty vests and empty sandals,
Now my men are dead and gone.

Here they ate out of Rock’s stew pot,
Here we sat around the flame,
Here they had hope for freedom and freedom never came.

From the practice in the chasms,
They could see themselves reborn,
And the sounds of battle ringing,
And I can hear them now
The very words that they have sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely bridge crew, at dawn.

Oh my men, my men forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken,
And there's a pain goes on and on

Phantom faces at the doorway,
Phantom voices in the storm,
Empty vests and empty sandals which my men will wear no more.
Oh my men, my men don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty vests and empty sandals
For Dunny will sing no more.

There were actually very few changes to that one.

And more requests please, this is fun!:D

Edit: I realized how well this works:

With literally ZERO changes....

WARNING! MAJOR OB SPOILERS!

Carry On My Wayward Son 
Red=Odium
Blue=Dalinar
 
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
 
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say
 
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
 
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say
 
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
 
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
 
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

“Fixer upper” was thought up @Oudeis, if anyone does it it ought to be him, or at least with with his blessing. 

 

BUT, here’s a little diddy I’ve been working on for a while. When I first stumbled across this thread my initial thought was “someone really needs to do a parody to the song ‘Gaston’ from Beauty and the Beast.’”

Well, now I present to you:

”Lightsong”

enjoy :)

  Reveal hidden contents

The scene: Llarimar enters the bed chambers to find Lightsong still in bed, pretending to be sick 

Llarimar: 
Colors it grieves me to see you, Lightsong
Sitting in bed like a lump
Ev’ry priest here’d love to be you, Lightsong
So quit acting like such a chump
There’s no one in court as admired as you
You’re everyone’s favorite god
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
Ev’n if you are kind of odd…

No one lays like Lightsong
Doubts his faith like Lightsong
No one else hears petitions all day like Lightsong

But please trust when I say you’re a deity
Perfect, a pure paragon!
So could you please try to demonstrate piety
And perhaps emulate our God King, Susebron?

Llarimar and Priests:
No one’s sunk as Lightsong
In a funk like Lightsong
Llarimar:
No one tries quite as hard to get drunk as Lightsong
Lightsong:
I pretend that my wine is intoxicating!
Priests:
My what a god, that Lightsong!

Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
Llarimar:
Lightsong is the best
Always quick with a quip!

Priests:
No one jests like Lightsong
No one rests like Lightsong
Llarimar:
No one else resists Blushweaver’s breasts like Lightsong!

Blushweaver:
For there’s no god I’d rather be dating
Lightsong:
As you see I’ve got charisma to spare 
Blushweaver: 
But at times he can be so frustrating 
Lightsong:
That’s right!
When it comes to politics I just really don’t care!

Priests:
No one’s cool as Lightsong
Ridicules like Lightsong
Lifeblesser:
No one makes a god feel like a fool like Lightsong
Lightsong:
I’m especially good at humiliating!
*tosses a reversal sphere over his shoulder*
Priests:
Five hundred points for Lightsong!

Lightsong:
When I was alive I did so many things
Like juggling and sailing and stuff
But since I died I can’t remember a thing
And I simply have had quite enough...!

Priests:
No one’s swell as Lightsong
Nonpareil as Lightsong
Llarimar:
No one gets a guy thrown into jail like Lightsong!
Lightsong:
I see war scenes in all of my tribute paintings!
Priests:
My what a god...
Lightsong…!

 

@Herowannabe This is hilarious! Great job! Also want to apologize, because I accidentally clicked twice and ended up down voting my up vote.

SLIGHT OATHBRINGER SPOILERS!!!

I bring you, "I dreamed a dream" by Dalinar Kholin!

Spoiler

(Set slightly before Dalinar's breakdown in Part 4)

A figure stands at the top of Urithiru, staring distantly into the East. 

 “There was a time before the voidbringers…When their rhythms were soft, their envoys inviting. There was a time before he died, when the wars were but games, before the visions… Then it all went wrong”

(music plays)

A stormwall looms, and Dalinar watches it approach. He begins to sing softly. 

I dreamed a dream of time to come

When hope was gone, with nothing living

I dreamed Roshar was doomed to die

I dreamed that Honor had been dying

He smiles. 

Then I saw Radiants unafraid

When Shardblades glowed, were used and wasted

I saw the price that then was paid

No heralds left, no radiants staying

His voice grew darker.

And then Odium come to me

With his smile that burned like fire

As he tore our hope apart

As he turned our dreams to shaaaaaame!!!

He shivers, then smiles sadly at a new thought. 

She spent a summer by my side

she filled my days with grace and kindness

She took my harshness in her stride

But she was gone when Odium came

(softly, sadly)

And still I dream she'll come to me

That my crimes can be forgiven

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are Storms we may not weather…

The stormwall was almost here. Dalinar stepped back into the shelter, waiting for the stormwall to pass over him. 

He seems to find new strength with a "But...."

I have a dream Roshar can be -

United, even though we’re broken!!

And even though we’ve far to gooooo

All we need is to take that step…..

The storm hits. He enters a vision. 

A cloud of musicspren sigh and disperse

A lot of the Les Mis songs would work really well for SA. Off the top of my head I can think of:

Look Down for the bridgemen

Stars for Nale (regarding Lift)

Bring him home for Dalinar re Kaladin (possibly this would work better as a modified version for Kelsier re Vin)

@Personification, the more i think about it, the more I'd like to see Bring Him Home for Kelsier, if you're interested in doing it!

@The Harp Lady, I will try, but I have only read Mistborn once, and it was a few months ago, which is why I've been sticking to Stormlight, which I just reread for Oathbringer.

Never mind @The Harp Lady, I did it:D. However, I changed the subject to a different character because if I remember correctly the main reason he wanted Marius to live was that Cosette loved him.

Behold:

Bring Him Home sung (with moderate apathy) by Kelsier

Spoiler

God on high
Hear my prayer
Though I doubt
You have ever been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
Though I care for him not, you know
For Vin he is the only one.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
Though I’m not old
I will be gone.
Bring Vin peace
Bring Vin joy
She is young
He is only a boy
Though you take
And you give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
I’ll un-die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

This could use some tweaking, but I give you...

"Bridge Down"
(performed by Kaladin, Gaz, and The Bridgemen)

Spoiler

Bridge up, bridge down
For the storming lighteyes
Bridge up, bridge down,
You're here until you die

 

Now your lordship of bridge four

Your got strung up
But you survived the storm
You know what that means.

Yes, it means I'm right.

No!
It’s now my job to make your life a misery
To make sure you’re not imitated once you die
You’ve made yourself a dangerous man

I tried to save my men.
Parshendi arrows were bringing death
My crew was dying.

You will die with them
Unless you learn to obey the lighteyes.

I know the meaning of those 19 years
oppressed by lighteyes

Five years you were drafted
you’re here because you tried to run
Yes, Lordling of Bridge 4.

My name is Kaladin

And I’m Bridge Sargent
Do not forget your place!
Do not forget me,
Lordling of Bridge 4.


Bridge up, bridge down
You'll always be a slave
Bridge up, bridge down
You're standing in your grave.

Edit:

Quote

this is beautiful. I especially love "If I die, I'll un-die" :lol:

Thanks, I thought the sentiment fit better for Kelsier than "Let me die"

@The Harp Lady, As requested (with a little bit of mashed up meter to make it work, unfortunately) "Highspren" (To the tune of "Stars")

Spoiler

There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Forging a bond
Edgedancer without grace
Spren be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face

She knows her way in the dark
Mine is the way of the words
Those who follow the path of the highspren
Shall have their reward
And if they fall
As Radiants fell
The storms
The sword!

Highspren
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Radiants fell
You fall as blades!

And so it must be, and so it is written
In our Laws and our Holy Rites
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!

Ishar let me find her
That I may see her
Bond Safely dead
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by Highspren!

Any other requests?

Minor Oathbringer Spoilers

Spoiler
The Ashspren National Anthem (to the tune of "Dust in the Wind")
 
I close my eyes, only for a moment
And the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
I close my eyes, only for a moment
And the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water
In an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, ho, ho
Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind [x2]
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind [x2]
The wind

Oh there are plenty.
Hmm...

 

I feel like is potential with Hamilton and Kelsier. Something with Battle of Yorktown, but for Luthadel?
With Vin, Elend, Breeze and Kelsier replacing Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens and Hamilton respectively? 

And Hamilton and Kaladin actually.

Hurricane for Kaladin maybe?

 

(Sorry for the double post). I am literally crying right now.

I was 14 when my brother died, I was holding him, he was bleeding and I was holding him, I couldn't seem to die.

I showed this to @Cel earlier. (Who likes Hamilton more than SA. <_<) She started chasing me.

"Why did you have to point that out?!"

He he. I'm a great friend.

I give you, "City in the Clouds" (To the tune of "Castle on a Cloud" from Les Mis)

Minor WoR spoilers:

Spoiler

There is a city in the clouds
I like to sit up there and weep
And the stone floors are not holy
Not in my city in the clouds…

There is a city in the clouds
I like to sit up there and weep
And the stone floors are not holy
Not in my city in the clouds

I have to kill people wearing white
Hear their screams when I close my eyes
They speak though not in words as such
they say “Oh Szeth, we hate you very much”
I know a place which once was lost
I know a place where no one dies
Dying at all is not allowed
Not in my city in the clouds
