Wheel of Time: The Musical!

Recommended Posts

Since we have a 'Cosmere the Musical' here on the Shard, and given that creative muse struck me, I present WoT: The Musical!

To kick things off 

The King George songs, as sung by Elaida Sedai

You’ll Be Back- Elaida Sedai edition

 

You say, the price of my stole’s not a price that you’re willing to pay.

You cry, Forkroot weed that I put in your tea when I saw you go by.

Why so mad? Remember that Siuan broke the Tow’r with her plotting and schemes-

Now you should have been glad, remember despite our estrangement, I’m the Amyrlin.

[Chorus]

You’ll be Back- soon you’ll see.

You’ll remember you should kneel to me.

You’ll be Back- time will tell

The tower will be whole; this I Foretell

Dragons Rise, Nations fall

The White Tower has stood through it all!

And when push, comes to shove-

I will strip you of the Shawl and birch you,

To remind you of my love.

Ya-Da-Da-Da-, Ya-Da-Da-Da- Elaida, Ya-Da-Da [2X]

 

You Say my rule’s illegal and you won’t go on,

But you’ll be the ones complaining when the world is gone.

And no don’t change the subject!

You all should be my subjects, sweet united subjects, completely loyal subjects.

Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever.

 

You’ll be back- as said before

It will not come to open war.

For your love, undying praise, and I’ll be Amyrlin till’ my dying days.

While you’re gone- Rand goes mad.

Please don’t destroy what hope we had

And when push, comes to shove.

I will send you into lonely exile...

To remind you of my love

 

Ya-Da-Da-Da, Ya-Da-Da-Da- Elaida, Ya-Da-Da-Da

Everybody!

Ya-Da-Da-Da, Ya-Da-Da-Da-Elaida, Ya-Da-Da-Da-Elaida.

 

 

What Comes Next- Elaida Sedai edition

 

They say, putting Rand in a box has a price I’m not willing to pay.

I cry, with these tears that are so unbecoming of one who is Aes Sedai.

I’m so blue(not ajah)- I thought I could trust Alviarin- that was a mistake

Now I’m hers to subdue. Alviarin despite your rejection, I’ve got a small query for you.

What comes Next?

What decree-(Aside)- I want to balefire this girl indeed.

I’m on my own (Sarcastic) Awesome, Wow!

I don’t have a clue what happens now

Dragons Rise, Nations Fall,

(To Self): It’s much harder when it’s all your call

All alone, on the Amyrlin Seat.

Sardonic: I may run the Tower, but Alviarin’s running me!

Ya-Da-Da-Da, Ya-Da-Da-Da- Elaida, Ya-Da-Da-Elaidaaa.

 

 

I Know Her- Elaida Sedai Edition

 

They say, the Rebels are choosing an Amyrlin to lead their way.

Is that true? Because it would count as treason if they do.

I’m perplexed. Would Sheriam even give up her authority?

What will they do, is there anyone else in the rebels who loom quite as large?

(Whispers)

Egwene Al’Vere?

I know her, this can’t be, that little Accepted who always hated me.

She’ll last ten days, maybe five.

That poor girl, The Hall will eat her alive!

Dragons Rise, Amyrlins Fall.

She’ll be a puppet by the end of it all

All alone, let them run,

They will tear the poor girl into pieces-

By the Light, this will be fun.

Apologies for double posting, however, I have had muse strike yet again

Presenting- Falcon in the Dive, as sung by Lord Perrin Goldeneyes

Spoiler

 

[Perrin]

Hunt for my Faile

Comb the town, every street, every tent,

You put a guard at every gate

Get her out, shout the moment that you find her.

 

Light!

 

Knock in their doors, outflank their army

Track her down, search the town

And be quick about it, now

 

How in the Light do I ever prevail

When I’m just a man?

But I can never be duped

I’ll not lose my Falcon again!

 

I wasn’t born to walk on water,

I wasn’t born to sack and slaughter

But on my soul I wasn’t born

To leave my love forlorn, and buckle under.

 

A man can learn to steal some thunder

I can learn to work some wonder

And when the stakes are down,

I will rise into the sky!

 

And soon the world will smolder

And the Winds of Time shall drive

Yes a man grows older,

But his soul remains alive

 

All those tremulous stars still glitter

And I will survive

And my heart grows colder,

Oh Light! Please let my Falcon be alive!

 

[Gaul]

Life is a dream, a dying ember

Life is a dream I will remember

But I will resurrect that dream

Though blood does stream and the cost grows steeper

 

[Faile]

For here in Hell, where life grows cheaper

Oh, here in Hell, the pain runs deeper

And when the final duel is nigh,

I’ll lift my soul and fly!

 

[Perrin and Faile duet]

If we wait through our darkest hour

Till love does spring alive

Then with soul of fire

We’ll devour like a falcon in the dive!

 

[Aram]

These are the days, yes, days of glory

Days of rage, where souls do scream

And golden darkness preys on my soul

Gnawing night and day and

Clawing through my brain

 

No, never kneel, never bend

Rend him to bits, bite

Now the beauty of the fight

I am a man who shall find justice

And my spirit shall try,

To be younger and fiercer and fly!

 

[All]

Piercing into the sky and higher

And the strong shall thrive

Yes the weak will cower

While the fittest will survive

 

If we wait through the darkest hour

Till battle springs alive

Then with claws, and souls of fire

We’ll devour like a falcon in the dive!

Edit: 5/22/19

I have had more ideas strike me yet again, So I now present 'Dear Thom Merrilin' a lyrical parody of 'Dear Theodosia' (Heavy spoilers here, so if you somehow are reading this without finishing at least Knife of Dreams, don't read this)

Spoiler

Dear Thom Merrilin, what to write for you,

If you read this, you’ll hear I have been slain,

Though you know this a lie, you cry, and it breaks my heart

I’m dedicating all these words to you, though gleeman’s life was never quite my style.

When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart,

And I thought I was so smart.

 

You will come to me with young Mat Cauthon,

He’ll bleed and fight for you, I’ll make it right for you

If I lay a strong enough foundation-

For Rand must think me through, the world will think it true

And I’ll blow them all away,

Someday, someday

You will come for me someday

Someday, someday.

   

     -- Moiraine

The way men describe using Saidin makes me think of Tightrope from The Greatest Showman.

ooh, that's a good one... 

I also have thought of Rand's nasty habit of burning women's names into his soul as working well with 'Hellfire' (Written as Balefire of course)

I am so glad this thread already exists, because I am right now working on a piece that I call. "I am the Very Model of A Major Robert Jordan Fan." 

If I can get it up to speed, I'll make an MP3 to share with my lyrics. Wish me luck!

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to that!

Here is my own parody composition: "I am the very Model of a Major Robert Jordan Fan," I had to practice it A LOT to get it fast enough to record it. Then I had to cut down the karaoke track, because they all include the chorus singing the original lyrics. Unfortunately, the cuts are very noticeable...ah well! But I guess I practiced enough because the final product was done with 2 takes. And I noticed after all that, all this time, that I've got a name in there twice! Oops.

100% spoiler free, this song is dedicated to anyone who has every grown overwhelmed or confused by the huge cast and all their various names...

Lyrics are in the spoiler tag, the recording is here for you to listen to:
