Personification Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Normally I would put this in Cosmere! The Musical, but the spoiler gate is still up, so I have made a space for myself (and others who are inclined to join in) to put Song Parodies containing Rhythm of War spoilers. This is "Burn" to the tune of the song with the same name from Hamilton, as sung by Navani, and contains spoilers for only the Prologue. (Also, at the end, separated by three dashes, are lines taken from the final lyrics of "First Burn", which is an alternate version of "Burn". I ended up choosing "Burn" for the full parody, but I felt that those lines worked so well I wanted to add them.): Spoiler I saved the transcripts from my spanreed From the moment I saw you, I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine Do you know what Ialai said When I told her that you’d caught my eye? She said "Be careful with that one, love He will do what it takes to survive" You and your words flooded my senses Your sentences left me defenseless You built a monarchy out of monologues I built fabrials I'm re-reading the words sent by spanreed I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line For some kind of sign, and when you were mine The world seemed to burn Burn I’ll publish the things that you told me I’ll tell the whole world how you’ve misused that crown on your head I’ll ruin your name, for you’ve ruined your wife Do you know what Ialai said When she heard what you'd done? She said "You have married the Fool Dilid He is trying to walk to the sun" You and your words, obsessed with your legacy Your sentences border on senseless Paranoid mania in every monologue How they perceive you You, you, you You’ve forgotten my part in this narrative Let future historians find out how Navani reacted when you broke her heart I have cursed you with my art, I'm watching it Burn Watching it burn You disgrace your place in my heart You disgrace that crown on your head So I’ll tell the world what you’ve said I'm burning the glyphward Burning the letters Almighty redeem you You forsake all rights to my heart You forsake the crown on your head You hide in my office instead While soiling the memories of when you were mine I hope that you burn --- And when the time comes Explain to the children The pain and abusiveness You put their mother through When will you learn That they are your legacy? We are your legacy If you thought you were mine (mine, mine) Don't 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainier Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Urithiru, to Oh Shenandoah Quote Urithiru, I long to see you Awake you mighty mountain! Urithiru, I long to see you Awake your slumbering soul, Fill your tower with light. Urithiru, I long to hear you, Awake you mighty mountain! Urithiru, I long to hear you Awake, within my soul, Fill your tower with light. These thousand years you've laid in slumber, Away, you sleeping Sibling! These thousand years you've laid in slumber, Away, unbonded soul, Left your tower no light. Urithiru, I long to see you Awake, you mighty mountain! Urithiru, I long to see you, Awake and bond a soul, Fill your tower with light. Urithiru, I long to see you Fill your tower with light.

Personification Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Here is one with minimal changes sung by Shallan to the tune of "Words Fail" from Dear Evan Hansen. I picture it taking place right before the Formless part of Part 4, but it honestly fits pretty well through most of Shallan's arc. Spoiler I never meant to make it such a mess I never thought that it would go this far So I just stand here sorry Searching for something to say Something to say Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say I guess I thought I could be part of this I never had this kind of thing before I never had that perfect guy Who somehow could see the good part of me I never had the dad who stuck it out No stable home or mother’s love No mom who didn’t stare With burned out eyes that cannot see That's not a worthy explanation I know there is none Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had And it's right there, right there, right there In front of you And you want to believe it's true So you... make it true And you think maybe everybody wants it And needs it... a little bit... too This was just a sad invention It wasn't real, I know But we were happy I guess I couldn't let that go I guess I couldn't give that up I guess I wanted to believe 'Cause if I just believe Then I don't have to see what's really there No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than These broken parts Pretend I'm something other than This mess that I am 'Cause then I don't have to look at it And no one gets to look at it No, no one can really see 'Cause I've learned to turn back to port Before I’m even out to sea Before my luck comes up short Before I lead with the worst of me I never let them see the worst of me 'Cause what if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too? Will I just keep on running away from what's true? All I ever do is run So how do I step in Step into the sun? Step into the sun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Wheeler Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) It's been... One year since you looked at me, figured out that I'm not so trustworthy. Two weeks since I turned on you. I swear that I was just doing what I had to. One day since you think I died. Boy won't you be shocked at what I now hold inside! And now I have so much to do. It's gonna be nine days till the truth is made known to you. Go ahead and train your powers, train for days and hours, you'll never get to five oaths in time. Talk to Ishar but he won't help you, he thinks you're on my side, it will be delicious when you lose and then you will be mine. I have power to save everyone, in the whole Cosmere, because I'm full of plots and schemes. You think honor should bind men, you try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through. I see that loophole Rayse overlooked, now I will win by hook or crook, I want to show you my philosophy is stronger! Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know the Bondsmith has to let me go, then when you are my Fused, you'll live on so much longer! Can I help it if I think that you are too naive? trying hard not to smile when I see you grieve. I'm the kind of guy who engineers a funeral for a few to save the rest, and now I shall for the greater whole! I have a history of scheming with my Diagram, I have the power now to take it so much further! t's been one week since you looked at me, asked me why I would turn on you so flagrantly. Three days since Szeth came to me. I gave him a message but he never passed it on for me. One day since Hoid talked to me. He never thought that I could mess with his stored memories. Just now it occurred to me, it's gonna be three years till the fans learn what that means!
