Hero: A Monster parody

Sung by Kaladin in the chasms in WoK.

(Light spoilers for WoK, haven’t read WaT yet so no spoilers please)

Spoiler

How has everything been turned against us?

How has suffering become so endless?

How am I to free myself from this misery?

Do I need to change?

I’m surrounded by the souls of those I’ve lost

I’ve let them all down why must this be my cost

What if the only one who can ever make them free

Is me

What if I’m their hero

What if I need to stand

What if I’m the failure

Thats been dooming them all along

What if I’m the one who killed you

Every time I caved to guilt

What if I’ve been far too hard on myself

But a failure to you

What if I’m their hero?

When the parshendi loses a friend to our soldiers is he up in the middle of the night

Or does he shove his remorse aside and keep fighting with pride

And then sleep knowing he has done right

When the bridge leader sends my men to die like flies is he going insane

Or did he learn to get colder as he grew older and now he spares himself the pain

When the bright lord slays my friends to make us pay

Does he feel pain for those he has betrayed

Or does he keep us in check to assert his strength

And now no one dares to piss him off

Does a surgeon weep no tears for the ones he loses because he is vile

Or does he throw away his self-pity and save more lives in time

If I became the hero

And threw that guilt away

Would that make us stronger

Would it keep our friends alive

If I became the hero

And forgot about the past

Made sure we made it out of here

Who would care if we lose our hearts

If I became the 

Hero

Oh, heartlessness is mercy upon ourselves

And deep down I know this well

I lost my brother, my honor my men

So many friends gone, this can’t go on

I must get to live a life beyond these walls

So if I must fight through my demons and trauma I’ll learn to keep going

And if I gotta watch another friend die and not shed tears in an instant so the rest stay alive

Then I’ll become their hero

I will let the fallen go

And I’ll become their hero

Like none they’ve seen before

So what if I’m their hero

Hiding in my shame

I must become their hero

And then we’ll make it free

Hero, oh

Tieeeeeeen

Hero, oh

Amaraaaaam (turning to rage)

Hero, oh

Oh, heartlessness is mercy upon ourselves

Hero, oh

I’ll become their hero

WHATS A GOOD SONG FROM EPIC?

It’s been a while, but it would be interesting to try adapting Scylla…

  • 2 weeks later...
Posted
"No Longer You" from EPIC, but it's Dalinar visiting the Nightwatcher in Oathbringer. This one was surprisingly easy with minimal changes:
Spoiler
 
Cultivation:
I am the High Spren, with the answers you seek
Growth, I've unlocked it
I see past and future running free
There is a world where I help to grow
But that's not a world I know
 
Dalinar:
What?
 
Cultivation:
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayal
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a man who gets to redeem those lost lives
But it's no longer you
 
Dalinar:
This can't be
I've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells
Now you tell me my effort's for nothing?
 
Cultivation:
I see your homeland covered in red
Faces of monsters who all believed were dead
I see your love with a man who is haunting
A man with a trail of bodies
 
Dalinar:
WHO?
 
Cultivation:
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayal
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a man who gets to make it home alive
But it's no longer you

 

 
"Underworld" from EPIC, but about two characters in WaT:
Spoiler

Kaladin and Szeth's journey to Shinovar in WaT. I almost did a voice for Molly the sheep, but I decided against it.

 

Kaladin:

Syl, Blackthorn's instructions were clear
No matter what we fear

Full speed ahead

Until we find the Herald
My comrades, this land confuses your mind
So no matter who we find

 

Szeth, Nightblood, Syl:

Full speed ahead, until we find the Herald

 

Kaladin:

Good

 

Szeth: 

All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems

 

Kaladin:
Nothing's what it seems

Szeth
Here with the Honorblades, the past seems close behind

Kaladin:
This land confuses your mind

 

Kaladin & Syl:

When does a man become a monster?

 

Szeth (to himself and to Kaladin):
How many dozens of men, have died under your command?

(The Wretch for Kaladin):
Captain! Captain! Captain! Captain!
Why would you let the Shin man live
When ruthlessness is mercy?

 

Szeth:

All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems

Kaladin:
Nothing's what it seems
But in the Underworld, the past seems close behind
I keep thinking of the pirates from that night
I keep thinking of the pirates from that night

 

NIGHTBLOOD:

This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms

 

Kaladin:

Nightblood, please...

 

Syl:

Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms

 

 

Szeth: 

Sword-Nimi

 

(Man's Voice):

Waiting

 

Szeth:

That voice, it can't be

(Man's Voice)

Waiting

 

Szeth:

Dad?

 

Neturo:

Waiting
Szeth my dear son, when you come home I'll be waiting
Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting

 

Szeth:
I'm right here, dad
Can't you see? I'm (waiting)
Waiting

 

Szeth:

I took too long

 

Neturo:
I'll always love you

 

Szeth:
And ventured too far

 

Neturo:
I'll stay in your heart

 

Szeth:
While you were

 

Both:

Waiting, waiting, waiting

 

Szeth:

Bye dad

 

Szeth:

All I hear are screams
Every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream
Only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems
But with the Honorblades, your past is always close behind
Your past is always close behind
Here with the Honorblades

Susebron and Lightsong (Guster: Center of Attention) Almost no changes at all, works perfectly. (sorry about the semi obscure song)

Spoiler

Lightsong: One of us won't last the night
Between you and me it's no surprise
And there's two of us both can't be right
Neither will move till it's over


Susebron (aside): I'm the center of attention
In the walls inside my head
And no one will ever know it
if I keep my mouth shut tight


Both (Susebron obviously just lip-synching):
My own little world is what I deserve
'Cause I am the only child there is
A king of it all the belle of the ball
I promise I've always been like this
Forever the first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost like only I exist
Lightsong solo: Where everything's mine
Susebron (aside) solo: I will keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight


Susebron (aside): All by myself
I'm so much better on my own
And way out there
It is the same old place that it always has been


Lightsong:  I'm the center of attention
In the walls inside my head
And everyone will know it
I don't keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight
My own little world is what I deserve
'Cause I am the only child there is
A king of it all the belle of the ball
I promise I've always been like this
Forever the first my bubble can't burst
It's almost like only I exist
Where everything's mine
so I don't keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight!


Lightsong: One of us won't last the night
Between you and me it's no surprise
And there's two of us both can't be right
Neither will move till it's over
I'm the center of attention
no more walls inside my head
And no one will ever know it
Don't you keep your mouth shut tight
Yeah, no one will ever notice
Don't keep your mouth shut tight, tight, tight

(Lightsong sacrifices himself for Susebron in this moment)
Susebron (quiet, with a stutter): My own little world that I don't deserve
'Cause I am the only child there is
A king of it all, the belle of the ball
I have not always been like this
Forever the first my bubble has burst
It's almost like I just don't exist
Said everything's mine
I had to keep my mouth shut tight, tight, tight

Bridge run: A Survive parody

Sung by Gaz and the bridgemen during Kaladin’s first bridge run in WoK.

Spoiler

(Briiiidge ruuuuun)

(Briiiidge ruuuuun)

Gaz

My bridgemen

The rest of our force

They approach from behind

And if you don’t hurry,

they’re good as dead

Straight ahead

That is what we’re fighting

(Briiiidge ruuuuun)

No mercy

No chance for support

So shrug off your doubts

This bridge must be placed right here and now

Show me how

Great is your will to survive!

So many lives at stake

It’s just one run to make

And when it’s over then your pain is halted

No failing on me now

Defeat is not allowed

I must live through this day so run, run, run!

The chasm

(The chasm)

Keep distance in mind

Disperse to the sides

Lower it without force

And slide it across

(Slide it across)

Make sure to work quickly 

(Ha, ha!)

Exhausted

(Exhausted)

So tired of this

Your strong but it’s slow

All you feel is pain yet you have to lead

Work with speed

Get down and push for your liiives!

Bridgemen

So many lives at stake

Its just one run to make

And when it’s over then our pain is halted

(Push harder)

No failing on us now

Defeat is not allowed

We must live through this day so push, push, push!

Sergeant

Enough

They’re shooting at us

They’re shooting at us!

What are our orders!?

Sergeant?

Sergeant!

Kaladin

They sent us here to die

So many lives will fall

So many screams will call

And when they are killed, then their pain is over

They’re dying here and now

Escape is not allowed

They won’t live through this day, they die, die, die

I feel like this one must have been done before:

OB:

Spoiler

Dalinar w/ Evi at the Rift: My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'em Up) :

Dalinar as he approaches the Rift:

Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh
Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the mean-meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lovers rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark

Dalinar to Soldiers:

So light em up up up, light em up up up
Light em up up up, it's on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up
Light em up up up, it's on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (in the dark-dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (in the dark-dark)

Evi:
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything, except for me

Dalinar:

A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love
Then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see

Tanalan (Not Sung): Don't you know what she did?

Dalinar stops singing: What? (Kills Tanalan)

More introspectively to Evi:

My songs know what you did in the dark

Soldiers:
So light em up up up, light em up up up
Light em up up up, they're on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up
Light em up up up, they're on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark-dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark-dark)
Light em up up up, they're on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up
Light em up up up, they're on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark-dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark-dark)
Ooh oh oh

Dalinar:

I know what you did in the dark.

I don't know if this needs to go in a spoiler tag

Adolin agreeing to the disadvantaged duel: Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Szeth hunting Dalinar w/ Taravangian: Look What You Made Me Do

Zane to Vin: God Needs the Devil

Sunlit Man:

Spoiler

Sigzil: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

If any of these need to be changed slightly, let me know. Same with if they need to be in spoiler tags.

Formless - a parody of HOPE by NF

Spoilers for RoW

Spoiler

This song takes place when Formless takes over before the trial, and is mainly a debate between Formless, Radiant, and Veil. Shallan is prepared to follow through on her plan to kill Kalak, but suddenly, Veil opposes her. And the music begins...

Shallan, Formless, Radiant, Veil, Chorus, Radiant + VeilRadiant + Veil + ChorusAll three personas, Everyone ( including Chorus), Formless + Chorus

Underline = spoken, not in OG song

Shallan, pleading to Veil

Whyyyy?

You said you were on my side, said you would stand with me

Haveeee?

Have you lost faith in me?

I though this wouldn't happen

I thought you were someone I could trust

Whyyyy?

Voice distorts

Whyyyy?

No

Formless takes control:

18 years you've been dragging your feet

Tellin' me I'm the reason, the problem

18 years you've been claiming you're honest and promising progress, well, where's it at?

I don't want you to feel like a failure

I know this hurtsssss

But I gave you your chance to deliver

Now it's my turn

Don't, get, me, wrong

Veil, you've had a great run!

But, it's, time, to

Give the people something different!

So without further ado, I'd

Like to introduce my

My world,

My world, my world

My world, my world, my world

My world

Formless

What's my definition of success?

Burying all your pains, yes

Being who you were meant to be,

Even when everybody else is,

Tucking their tail between their legs

Radiant!

What's my definition of success?

Believing that which your heart says

Grinding when you're just told to quit

Giving more when you got nothing left

It's a person that'll take a chance on

Something they were told could never happen

It's a person that can see the bright side

Through the dark times when there ain't one

It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'

Ain't afraid to walk away from

The easy 'cause they'd rather do somethin'

That really matters and take the pay cut

It's a person that would never waiver

Or change who they are

Just to try and gain some credibility

So they could feel accepted by a stranger

It's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation

It's believing in yourself when no one else does, it's amazin'!

Crazy what some fake faith will do, I know you don't even believe in you

Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to?

We have done things that we regret, said things we can't take back

Were a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope, I can change that

Spent years of our life holding on to things we never should've kept, now I'll dump that

Years of our life carryin' a lot of baggage we should've run away from

Years of our life wishing we were someone different

Lookin' for some validation

Years of our life tryna fill the void, pretending we were in

I CAN FIX IT!

Veil!

Growing pain's a necessary evil

Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial

Some would say having our situation is a negative thing

Which on one hand, I agree with

On the other hand, it is the tool we've needed

To survive, and start the healing process, see if

We'd have never hit rock bottom, would we be the person that we are today? I don't believe so

We're a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face your demons

Took me 18 years to realize that if you wanna get that opportunity to be the

Greatest version of yourself, sometimes, you got to be someone you're not to hear the voice of reason

And there are people that can help you take a step back and look in the mirror, just look at him, look what he did, he

Wakes up every day and turns to us, holds us in his arms, reminds us that we're loved (loved)

We wait for him in darkness, knowing he'll always show up (up)

With him we don't need to worry, don't get it twisted, we can have another shot

I know where you're coming from, but do you really want to be back in that spot?

18 years of running, 18 years of searchin'

18 years of hurting, 18 years of pain

18 years of fearful, 18 years of anger

18 years of empty, 18 years of shame

18 years of broken, 18 years of anguish

18 years of hopeless, 18 years of (hey)

18 years of never, 18 years of maybe

18 years of later, 18 years of fake

18 years of hollow, 18 years of sorrow

18 years of darkness, 18 years of (mistake)

18 years of baggage, 18 years of sadness

18 years of stagnant, 18 years of chains

18 years of anxious, 18 years of suffering

18 years of torment, 18 years of (wait)

18 years of bitter, 18 years of lonely

18 years of pushing everyone away ('way)

(I know we can change!) You'll never evolve!

(We can be enough!) We are not the same!

(We can have the heart!) You don't have the strength!

(You don't have the will) You don't have the faith!

You'll never endure, you'll never forget

(Might as well give up) Not backing away!

(You don't have the guts!) You're the ones afraid!

I'm the one in charge!

I'm taking the (NO!)

I'm taking the

Do You Hear The Skaa Singing 

Kelsier: 

Do you hear the skaa singing,

Singing the songs of angry men?

It is the music of a people

Who Rashek won't rule again!

When the the whispers of your Tin

Echo the pulsing of your Bronze,

The skaa are soon to rebel

When tomorrow comes!

Will you join up with our crew,

Burn your metals and stand with me?

Before the falling ash

There was a world that ought to be!

Will you join in the fight

That will give you the right 

To be freeeeeee?

Skaa:

Do you hear the skaa singing,

Singing the songs of angry men?

That is the music of a people

Who RASHEK WON'T RULE AGAIN!

When the whispers of your Tin

Echo the pulsing of your Bronze,

Oh, Lord Ruler, you made many, many snapped mistborns

I realize, of course, it’s no shame to be a tineye,

But it’s no great honor either!

So, what would have been so terrible if I had a bead of Lerasium?

 

If I were a mistborn,

All day long, I’d burn my atium,

If I were a mistborn man,

I wouldn’t have to store strength,

Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum,

If I were a biddy biddy snapped yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

 

I’d burn a big atium bead with steel by the vial,

Flying over rooftops of the town,

A fine tin helmet with a real mistcloak as well,

There would be one steelpush for just going up,

And one even larger for coming down,

And one with duralumin just for show.

 

I’d fill my bag with coins and boxings and vials of duralumin

For the skaa to see and feel,

Shooting coins as swiftly as I can,

And each vial of the steel, be it tin, be it brass, be it zinc,

Would land like a coin to the face,

As if to say, here is a mistborn man,

 

If I were a mistborn

Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum

All day long I’d burn my Atium,

If I were a mistborn man,

I wouldn’t like to store strength,

Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum,

If I were a biddy biddy snapped, yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

 

I see myself, a mistborn, burning my electrum vial,

With a proper long mistcloak,

Burning metals to my hearts delight,

I see myself putting on pewter and flaring like a savant,

Oy, what a happy mood I’m in,

Pushing on the boxings, left and right.

 

The most important men in the empire would come to fawn on me!

They would ask me to advise them like a Lord Ruler,

“If you please Lord Straff…”

“Pardon me, Lord Straff…”

Posing problems that would cross the Lord Ruler’s eyes!

And it won’t make a difference if I answer right or wrong,

When you’ve snapped, they don’t care whether you know!

 

If I were snapped, I’d have the time that I lack to fly over Luthadel and flare,

And maybe have a seat atop Kredik Shaw

And I’d burn vials of atium with the snapped men, several hours every day,

And that would be the sweetest thing of all!

 

If I were a mistborn,

Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum

All day long I’d burn my Atium,

If I were a mistborn man,

I wouldn’t have to store strength,

Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum

                                                                              

Lord Ruler who made the mistborn and the ash,

You decreed I should burn only tin,

Would it spoil some vast eternal plan,

If I were a mistborn man?

Parody of 'If I were a rich man' from The Fiddler on the Roof.

Hero: A Monster parody

Sung by Kaladin in the chasms in WoK.

(Light spoilers for WoK, haven’t read WaT yet so no spoilers please)

  Reveal hidden contents

How has everything been turned against us?

How has suffering become so endless?

How am I to free myself from this misery?

Do I need to change?

I’m surrounded by the souls of those I’ve lost

I’ve let them all down why must this be my cost

What if the only one who can ever make them free

Is me

What if I’m their hero

What if I need to stand

What if I’m the failure

Thats been dooming them all along

What if I’m the one who killed you

Every time I caved to guilt

What if I’ve been far too hard on myself

But a failure to you

What if I’m their hero?

When the parshendi loses a friend to our soldiers is he up in the middle of the night

Or does he shove his remorse aside and keep fighting with pride

And then sleep knowing he has done right

When the bridge leader sends my men to die like flies is he going insane

Or did he learn to get colder as he grew older and now he spares himself the pain

When the bright lord slays my friends to make us pay

Does he feel pain for those he has betrayed

Or does he keep us in check to assert his strength

And now no one dares to piss him off

Does a surgeon weep no tears for the ones he loses because he is vile

Or does he throw away his self-pity and save more lives in time

If I became the hero

And threw that guilt away

Would that make us stronger

Would it keep our friends alive

If I became the hero

And forgot about the past

Made sure we made it out of here

Who would care if we lose our hearts

If I became the 

Hero

Oh, heartlessness is mercy upon ourselves

And deep down I know this well

I lost my brother, my honor my men

So many friends gone, this can’t go on

I must get to live a life beyond these walls

So if I must fight through my demons and trauma I’ll learn to keep going

And if I gotta watch another friend die and not shed tears in an instant so the rest stay alive

Then I’ll become their hero

I will let the fallen go

And I’ll become their hero

Like none they’ve seen before

So what if I’m their hero

Hiding in my shame

I must become their hero

And then we’ll make it free

Hero, oh

Tieeeeeeen

Hero, oh

Amaraaaaam (turning to rage)

Hero, oh

Oh, heartlessness is mercy upon ourselves

Hero, oh

I’ll become their hero

Just gonna drop this here. Hope that's cool.

Hey, it came out super great!

I don’t have Suno, so I don’t know how it works, but could you please cite me?

Something like “Lyrics by Hoid Slayer” and a link to the post you quoted

Most of these aren’t the typical musical numbers in that a character breaks out in song, but consarn it, I can’t unthink of these themes for scenes/characters 

 

Way of Kings: 

Spoiler

Syl: Judas Priest - Riding on the Wind. Title speaks for itself  

Kaladin: Iron Maiden - 2 AM. A song about the crushing feeling of despair and worthlessness at 2 AM. Notable lines: “Here I am again/Look at me again/Here I am again/On my own / Life seems so pathetic / I wish I could leave it all behind. […] Do you just let go or carry on / And try to take the hurt”. I picture this being Kaladin after becoming a slave, but before deciding to do the whole Bridge 4 thing.

 

Szeth in the prologue: Rainbow - Kill the King. Speaks for itself lol  

Dalinar’s first vision: Judas Priest - Night Crawler. A song about a terrifying entity that crawls around and kills everyone it finds. 

“Straight out of Hell / One of a kind…”

 

 

 


WOR:

Spoiler

Parshendi turning to Stormform: Metalocalypse (Dethklok) - Awaken. “AWAKEN AWAKEN AWAKEN TAKE THE LANDS THAT MUST BE TAKEN”

 

 

OB: 

 

Spoiler

Pre-Rift Dalinar: Vader - Prayer to the God of War. A fantastic death metal song about murdering in prayer to the god of war. “I will spread the graves like pestilence /And the reaper just became my best friend / Drinking blood and slaying all Barbarians / This is my prayer, atonement, and cleanse”


Dalinar re-visiting his first vision: Powerwolf - Army of the Night. A song about rising up and conquering the evil armies of the night. This contrasts “Night Crawler” where everyone was dying. 

It’s been a minute since I’ve read OB, but I do remember this one Unmade in Kholinar that forces everyone to dance: Iron Maiden - Dance of Death. A song about a man who is kidnapped and taken underground to dance in a literally Hellish scene. (And one of my favorite Maiden songs!)

 

 

Kaladin blue screening as his Parshendi and Alethi friends kill each other: Iron Maiden - Como Estas Amigo. This song is a tribute to all the soldiers that lost their lives on both sides during the 1982 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina. The song also has a message of peace telling both sides to shake hands and stop the fighting. “If we live for a hundred years / Amigos, no more tears.” I’m sure Kaladin felt like this as he watched helplessly while his friends killed each other, not knowing what the other side is like outside of war and death. If only they could all sit together and enjoy Rock’s stew…

 

Evi to Dalinar: Blue Oyster Cult - Burning for You

 

….I’m sorry. 
 

 

Mistborn Era 1 and SH:

 

Spoiler

Straff Venture: Obituary - Chopped in Half. Hahahahaha
 

Lord Ruler’s ascent to power: Avatar - A Statue of the King. This song bounces between clean and harsh (à la death metal) vocals, and that makes me think of the nobility (clean) and skaa (he treats them harshly). Or perhaps, Rashek the man, versus Ruin’s influence on him…“Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen, my beloved citizens /It is time to ignite the mighty beacon / And then unveil the statue of our ruler / We celebrate, we built a statue of the king”

Pits of Hathsin. Testament - Into the Pit. 
 

Kelsier running in the Cognitive Realm: Iron Maiden - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. (Can you guess what my favorite band is? Lol)

Oh, Lord Ruler, you made many, many snapped mistborns

 

I realize, of course, it’s no shame to be a tineye,

 

But it’s no great honor either!

 

So, what would have been so terrible if I had a bead of Lerasium?

 

 

 

If I were a mistborn,

 

Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum,

 

All day long, I’d burn my atium,

 

If I were a mistborn man,

I love this song and now I'm gonna be singing this parody every time I hear it. Excellent job! Thank you :)
