Am I the only one picturing the Lord Ruler getting a huge solo villain song, but the character being too lethargic to actually be bothered to sing it?

Something similar to Yzma's cut song from The Emperor's New Groove "Snuff Out the Light". Jazzy and upbeat with killer lyrics. 

Also, *slow clap* @Unlicensed Hemalurgist, that was amazing! 

For Breeze "We're in the Money" from 42nd Street. 

For the skaa "Hard Knock Life" from Annie.

For Vin "Go the Distance" from Disney's Hercules.

For Shallan "Reflections" from Disney's Mulan.

Great thread, this is fun!

Nah, let's have Kaladin sing it after the scene at Honor Chasm. (I don't know, the thought of Kaladin singing Let it Go is really funny to me)

Also, "Let the storm rage on" is totally Kal

You have inspired me, and my sister to write this.

Presenting Let it Glow

Spoiler

The Stormlight glows bright in the storm tonight, not a spren to be seen

A War of isolation, and it looks like I'm a Radiant 

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside                                   (We kept this line...)

Couldn't absorb it all, Stormfather knows I tried

Don't let it glow, don't let them see

Be the good bridgeboy you always have to be

Conceal don't feel, don't let them knowwwwwwwww

But now they knowwwwwwwwwwww

Let it glow, let it glow, don't have to hold it back anymore

Let it glow, let it glow, fly away, and save the world

I don't care what the Lighteyes will say

Let the storm rage on, the winds never bothered me anyways

It's funny how lashings makes everything seem small

And the chasms that once controlled me can't keep me here at all

It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and Sylblades too

There's rights, and wrongs, and oaths for me

And now I'm free

Let it glow, let it glow, I am one with the storms, and skies

Let it glow, let it glow, you'll always see me fly

Here I swear, and here I'll pray

Let the storm rage on

The Stormlight rages through the sky and into my lungs

My spear is spiraling in fluid katas all around

And one Oath explodes like a highstorm blast

I'm never going back, oathbreakers are in the past

Let it glow, let it glow, I'll rise like the everstorm

Let it glow, let it glow, that little bridgeboy's gone

Here I fly in the Highstorms winds

Let the storm rage on

The winds never bothered me anyways

 

We may have had to much fun with this...

That... Was beautiful...

Idea: "Spren are better than people." By Syl and Kaladin.

[Unhinged he/him]

Alright to the tune of The Band's up on cripple creek here's Kaladin singing during the highstorm.

Spoiler

When I get out of this highstorm you know what I'm gona do.

head straight down the shattered planes to the chasm's tried and true.

To honor chasm and beyond, little spen girl I once knew.

she told me just to come on by if there's anything she could do.

 

Waving in the storm she sends me.

If my skin should rip she mends me.

With her sword of light she defends me.

A radient's spren if I ever did see one.

 

Bad luck always stings me a side carry I did try.

My bridge did it perfect but with the brighlord it didn't fly.

The odd's aren't in my favor Teft gives me 5-1.

But when the storm dies down who knows I might have won.

 

Waving in the storm she sends me. 

If my skin should rip she mends me.

With her sword of light she defends me.

A radient's spren if I ever did see one.

 

I sucked in all of my stormight and I gave my broken limbs half

the storm went and broke them again just for a laugh.

Now there's one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see

That's when those little friends of mine cut me out of this here tree.

 

Waving in the storm she sends me.

If my skin should rip she mends me.

With her sword of light she defends me.

A radient's spren if I ever did see one.

 

Now me and my spren are back on the roof I was getting pretty bad

She said I think I see the end ahead but that could just be my Dad

Now that just made my hear a throb to the bottom of my feet.

and I swore as I sucked in a little more I'm felling pretty beat.

 

Waving in the storm she sends me.

If my skin should rip she mends me.

With her sword of light she defends me.

A radient's spren if I ever did see one.

 

There's a flood down in the Chasms and in the rain it's freezing cold.

And all this waving in the wind is getting pretty old.

So I guess I'll call over my buddies tell em I'll be falling in.

But You know deep down I'm kinda tempted to go and try this all again.

 

Waving in the storm she sends me.

If my skin should rip she mends me.

With her sword of light she defends me.

A radient's spren if I ever did see one.

Wow! This is awesome!

I totally forgot I even made that comment, months ago

[Doc12]

I am reaching, but I fall
And the stars are black and cold
As I stare into the void
Of a world that cannot hold
I'll escape now from that world
From the world of Jean Valjean
There is nowhere I can turn
There is no way to go oooooooooooon!!!!

Javert opened his eyes. He was drenched. His coat was dripping with muddy water, and behind him flowed the Seine. He felt cold. Was this...Paradise?

A man stood before him, wearing a crisp black and silver uniform. Dark of skin, a pale scar on his cheek. Authority radiated from him, and Javert straightened instinctively.

Javert frowned. “Who are you?”

“You know me.”

And… he did. Instinctively. He had never met this man before, but…somehow...

“I threw myself off a bridge.”

“And I restored you. A drowned man only needs the proper ministrations.”

“Who are you?”

“You, Javert, revere order, do you not? You follow the law of your society to perfection. This attracted me, though I fear that emotion has clouded your ability to discern. Your ability to...judge.”

Judgement.

“You are...Justice?”

“Herald of Justice, though not of your world.”

“Why save me? Was my torment not enough?”

“These words are foolishness, said Justice, unbecoming of one who would study beneath me.”

“...Study?” He squeezed his eyes shut, remembering that terrible, terrible choice that had torn him apart. “I want to be judged.”

“I watched you pursue a breaker of the law, tireless, relentless. Your dedication to your personal code is one to be admired. You kept your word to the law with perfection - the only genuine beauty left to the world. I judge you, and have found you worthy of the Skybreakers.”

“The...skybreakers?”

“Come along. Your training begins immediately.”

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

  Reveal hidden contents

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?

My own take at "Law"  by Nale

There, out in the darkness

Spren are returning

Returning to men

Those fallen from grace

The Law be my witness

I never shall yield

Till we come face to face

With my Blade in their chests

 

They learn the way of the oaths

Mine is the way of the Law

Those who trust in the law of the righteous

Shall have their reward

And if they cause the Voidbringer’s return,

The screams

The flames!

 

Laws

In their perfection

Strengthening my mind

Filling the darkness

With order and light

You are my sentinels

For you are truth

Keeping me on my path

Keeping guilt from my heart

 

We know our place in the sky

We hold our course and our aim

And for the Radiants

Serve their sentence

And its always the same

For they have fell, as the Radiants fell

Now fall by Blaaaaaaaaaaade!

 

And so it must be, for so it is written

By the Herald of Heralds

That those who might cause mankind’s fall

Must pay the price!

 

Oh, let me find them

That I may see them

Lawfully deaaaaaaaaad

I will never rest

Till then

This I swear

This I swear by the Law!!!!!!!!!!!1

This was good, (I upvoted) though I would suggest keeping it a bit closer to the original meter. Also, and this is really just personal preference, I kind of prefer it when parodies keep the original repetition and wording patterns throughout a song, but again, this is great and that is just my preference.

Edit: I didn't scroll up, OMG this is the best ever!

Anyone ever heard the highwayman by the highwaymen? I think of Kelsier every time.

Spoiler

It is about a bandit who gets killed and comes back as a sailor, who dies and comes back as a dam builder, who dies and comes back as a starship pilot. It covers all four eras too!

[Elend sings solo] 

The ash falls light on the city tonight   
Vin is nowhere to be seen
An army of Koloss waiting
And the order falls to me
I’ve tried so hard to do what’s right and what’s not wrong 
So at last it’s come
My very last song 

 

The sun rises on ashen sky
Sazed’s belief is keeping us all alive
It’s one last chance, not a chance at all
but we’ll show them all

 

Let it go, let it go 
My love for Vin kills all fear
Let it go, let it go
and I know she’s with me here
In Kelsier’s name, we’ll bring the pain
Let the Koloss come 
Philosophy is all I’ll know anyway

 

[They all charge out]

 

It’s funny that a bead of metal
Can make us rise to Gods
And the future that always threw me
Can’t break me anymore

 

[Mistfallen join in, octave lower than Elend]

 

It’s time to see, what we can do
To break the laws we all lived through 
Our time has come to show them all
The mist fall!

 

Let it go, let it go
We’ll kill them all one by one
Let it go, let it go
We’ll kill them with atium
Let’s burn this God, till the last man falls
Come and let Ruin come

 

[Epic fight scene]

[Elend sings solo again] 

 

Blue shadows spin endlessly and koloss fall around
Marsh’s axe keeps swinging and my own men all die, and fall to the ground
My own metals burn without end as I see my beloved above
I burn the last of my Godhood. I know what must be done!

Let it go, let it go
We can’t lose if we’ve already won
Let it go, let it go 
The world will be redone
Come and take my life, you foul wretched Shard!
I’ll let the axehead fall…!

[last note cuts off]

Philosophy is all I’ll know anyway...

I'm still pretty proud of this actually.

I love those movies...

But I've only read the Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring so far, even though I own all four.

I posted these songs to a different thread, they have Oathbringer spoilers so they are all spoiler tagged.

Memory, sung to the tune of Memory from cats (from Act I, sung by Navani about Dalinar)

Spoiler

Scene 1: A man lays prostrate on a circular stone platform, lit by a single spotlight. Behind this solitary figure a sheet with striated bands of different shades of grey roils tempestuously. Another figure, hidden in the darkness stage left, with hair spangled with glowing rubies and wearing a Vorin Havah approaches the prostrate figure while singing:

 

Song 1: Memory
(sung to the tune of Memory from Cats)

Good Knight,
Laid out on the Pavement,
Has this man lost his memory?
He is weeping alone
In the dim light, the petaled shame collects at his feet
And his Spren begins to moan.

Every dead-voice seems to scream
An Abominable witness,
The Thrill it claims him, the dead-voices shame him,
And he begs for forgiveness.

Memory,
All alone without Stormlight
He can see her from old days
She was beautiful then
He remembers, he killed her and watched Rathalis burn
Now her memory lives again

Szeth's new Knife, sung to the tune of Mack the Knife, from the 3 penny Opera.

Spoiler

Szeth's New Knife
(Sung to the tune of Mack the Knife from The Three Penny Opera)

Oh the Sword has an aluminum sheath, dear
Just to keep it, from leakin' Night
That's a bald shin Szeth Son-Naturo,
Yeah its you know, the Assassin in White.

When the sword fights without his sheath, dear
Midnight billows start to spread,
lots of Stormlight needs shin Szeth, dear
So he doesn't wind up dead

In the Purelake, some poor crim'nal
Lies in the water losing life
Szeth the detective talks to sword Nimi
"Why did that Reshi have a knife?"

In a prison stinking awfully,
Only one guard is found dead
"Shouldn't you be Destroyin' Evil?"
His sword Nimi, says in his head.

Then shin Szeth finds the beefy Noble,
who's been skimmin' off the cash.
And then Nightblood destroys that evil,
Did our Shin do something Rash?

Here come Listeners, and Ner-agoul,
that's Yelignar, and Odium
Oh the chances look mighty slim, dear
Glad sword Nimi's back in town

Urithiru, song by Dalinar to the assembled leaders of Roshar, to the tune of Oklahoma

Spoiler

SETTING: The glass wall backed Council chamber in Urithiru, Dalinar, with the sleeves of his Kholin blue military shirt rolled up is pacing with a lavis polyp sticking jauntily out of his mouth, while Navani, sitting in a rocking chair, is working on a fabrial in her lap. The assembled heads of state of Roshar are looking to Dalinar as he begins to explain all about....

SONG: Urithiru
(Sung to the Tune of Oklahoma, from the musical Oklahoma):

We couldn't pick a better place to wage these fights!
It ain't too easy to use an Oathgate
I've been livin' here with my Radiant Knights,
Soon we'll be fightin' the shard of Hate

The Shard of hate
That don't sound great

Gonna grow some lavis, tallew and chicken parts,
Pasture for the great shells
So we can harvest gem hearts
Flowers on the prarie where the wind spren zoom
Plen'y o' air and plen'y o' room
Plen'y o room to swing your shard
Plen'y o heart cuz we try real hard
 

Urithiru where the storms come sweeping down the plain
Where the lavis wheat could sure smell sweet
If we could find that sibling to train
Urithiru ev'ry night my gem heart and I
Sit alone for reals and watch sky eels
Making lazy circles in the sky.

We know we'll defend the land
And the tower we belong to is grand
And when we say
Kalak! A-YIP-I-O-EE-AY
We're only sayin' "You're doin' fine Urithiru,
Urithiru U R"

And because this is the first time on this thread, and there was a pretty serious challenge

Can anyone think of one using "Be Prepared"? I'm trying to come up with one, but none of the characters seem to both fit Scar and the act of overthrowing someone.

Here it is, spoilered because it is Taravangian on one of his brilliant days, singing "Be Prepared"

Spoiler

SETTING: Taravangian's private quarters in Urithiru, where the test to determine his intelligence level is administered every day. Taravangina paces in agitation, Adrotagia, Mrall and a couple of Mr. T's personal attendants are in the room, waiting to hear his instructions. It's obviously one of his better days.

Song: Be Prepared (sung to Be Prepared from the Lion King)

I know your powers of retention
Are as thick as a chull's carapace
But dense as you are, pay attention
The diagram's losing its place

It's clear from your vacant expressions
The light has gone out of your spheres.
But were talking 'bout True Desolations
Even half-wits should be in tears

So prepare for the end of some lifetimes,
Be prepared for some terrible news.
The True Desolation
shows our desperation.

Then what's the embargo?

Just listen to Vargo
I know it sounds sordird
But look what that war did
When the Radiants said that we're through!
A small piece we can save 'cause we dared,
Be Prepared!

Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared! For what?

For the end of all things.

End Odium?

No, Fools! We're going to join him. And kill kings, too

Great idea! Who needs a king?

No King, No king! La la la la la!

Idiots! There will be a king!

But you said....

I will be king! Stick with me and the one true diagram!

Yay, all right! Long live the king!
Long live the king!

It's great that the we'll soon be protected
By a king who'll save all of Roshar

Of course, some must go, it's expected
The diagram's been quite clear so far.
The future is mostly surmises
And though I'm the smartest you'll see
The point that I must emphasize is,
You can't change a bit without me!

So prepare to kill most of this country
Be prepared for the bloodiest hands     (Oooo, la-la-la-la)
Morality's bending                                 (Who needs good?)
The world it is ending—                         (That's not good)
Kharbranth can be spared                    (In defeat)
If I haven't erred,                                   (We're dead meat) 
To see unpolluted
My genius is too good
To not patch up the true Diagram
Yes, my goal's low for who can be spared
Be prepared!

Yes, our goal's low for who can be spared,
Be Prepared!

@Personification, “I will survive” is perfect! Fantastic job!

There’s one small typo that repeats a few times though. I’m thinking the “with” just needs to be deleted:

@Personification if you can buy a very 70's Barry Gibb as Kelsier, then I think that I have the perfect Album Cover for your EP "I Will Survive"

Looking awesome, stuck in Ruin's prison, ya know, survivin'.

"One Jump Ahead" From Aladin sung by Lift!!!

This would be amazing!!!

Would fit fairly well unedited, but I made some minor adjustments

One Jump Ahead

Lift: Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
Ahead without shoes on my feet
I steal only what I can eat
(That's Everything!)

One jump ahead of the Azish
That's all, and to put it bluntly
These guys don't 'preciate I'm hungry

Azish:

Riffraff!
Street rat!
Soundrel!
Take that!

Lift:

Just a little snack, guys

Skybreakers: Rip her open, take it back, guys

Lift:

I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Voidbringer!

Wyndle:

But!

Azish:
Oh it's sad Lift has hit the bottom
Lift:

Cept I was never at the top

Azish:

I'd blame parents except she hasn't got 'em

Lift:

Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of Darkness

Next time should use my Awesomeness
One jump ahead of the Skybreakers
One meal ahead of the rest
I think…

@Ookla the Variable Great job! I think this might be the first Lift song on this thread, and it really fits with her character. Small little detail, I think you got the wrong pronoun when the Skybreakers say "Rip him open".
