Thoughts of Darkness: The Musical

Post by IanFordam »

BLUETSPUREAN RHAPSODY

[Intro]
Is this the real life? Or gothic fantasy?
Caught in a nightmare, or a twisted reality?
Open blind eyes, watch empty skies and see...
I'm a mind flayer, talk through telepathy
Old mind was easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me
To me...

[Verse 1]
Drassak, I just killed a man
Put tentacles in his head, ate his brain, and now he's dead
Drassak, his life had just begun
But now I've gone and sucked it all away
Drassak, ooh, didn't mean to make you rage
If I'm not back again this time next eon
Take the Rod, take the Rod
Because nothing really matters

[Verse 2]
Too late, my time has come
For ceremorphosis, head is aching all the time
Goodbye, humanity, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Drassak, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I didn't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never reborn at all

[Psionic Shapeshifting Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I see a psychometric aspect of a man
Zarovich, Zarovich, will you make a new vampire?
Sky-Terror lightning, very, very frightening me
(Symbiont) Symbiont, (Symbiont) Symbiont, Symbiont potion want
But I'm now a mind flayer, nobody loves me
(It's just a mind flayer from its hermaphroditic family
Spare it its life, oh, this monstrosity)
In the brine, it is time, will you let me go?
An'tella! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go) An'tella! We will not let you go
(Let him go) An'tella! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh, Anitella, Anitella) Anitella, let me go
High Master has a tadpole set aside for me, for me, for me!

[Verse 4]
So you think can blast me, searing with pain?
So you think you can stun me, boggle my brain?
Oh, baby, can't warp my psyche, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

[Outro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
Nothing really matters against infinity
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows

(Note: To non-psionicists or psionicists who prudently erect their Towers of Iron Will, this song is usually perceived as an extended remix of John Cage's 4'33" instead.)

Well, it's not "Thoughts of Darkness" technically, but I had some fun with other musical numbers. Or at least killed a slow evening...

"Rock me Harkon Lukas" - by Not Falco :lucas:

Oh, rock me Harkon Lukas

He was a mutt with big ideas, to lead the pack of local wolfweres
It was in Cormyr, till the mists did come and he disappeared
In Barovia he arrived but quickly fled, and Kartakass formed when he did tread
And the Kartakan's screamed: "Come and rock me Harkon Lukas!"
He was a superstar, he was popular
He was exalted, and he had flair
But only in this backwater, in the middle of no-where
And the Kartakkans screamed: "Rock me Harkon Lukas!"

Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas
Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas - oh, oh, oh - Harkon Lukas
Come and rock me Harkon Lukas!
Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas
Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas - oh, oh, oh - Harkon Lukas

Years went by and he has accomplished nil
And still remains in his Kartakkan cell
As meistersinger, he wields great clout
But in a tiny land most forget about
He was a superstar, he was popular
He was exalted, and that was his flair
But only in this backwater, in the middle of no-where
But the Kartakkans still scream: "Rock me Harkon Lukas!"

Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas
Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas - oh, oh, oh - Harkon Lukas
Come and rock me Harkon Lukas!
Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas
Harkon Lukas, Harkon Lukas - oh, oh, oh - Harkon Lukas
Come and rock me Harkon Lukas!

"Midnight Sky - Path Of light" - by Tatyana M Cyrus ;)

Yeah, it's been a long night and the sunrise is tellin' me I'm safe
But again I know the night will bring another frantic race
So many years have gone by with my soul bound up in your schemes
Forever and ever, but no more
The path of light is the road I'm takin'
Away from the castle on the mounts

I dont want to run, but I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't want to be owned by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, as the devil Zarovich I outrun, oh no
I will not be taken by you
I see his death on your hands, Sergi's blood even now
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
So I am going to run, from the devil you've become
I won't be taken by you (taken by you)

My hair's pulled back 'cause the sweat's drippin' off of my face (my face)
But to escape your grasp, I'll do whatever it takes
You should know right now, Barovia I'm going to escape
Forever and ever, uh huh.
The path of light is the road I'm takin'
Away from the castle on the mounts

I dont want to run, but I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't want to be owned by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, as the devil Zarovich I outrun, oh no
I will not be taken by you
I see his death on your hands, Sergi's blood even now
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
So I am going to run, from the devil you've become
I won't be taken by you (taken by you)

I don't hide an evil heart like you, Like you

I dont want to run, but I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't want to be owned by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, as the devil Zarovich I outrun, oh no
I will not be taken by you
Thinking of your hands on my waist, make me seethe with open hate
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
So I am going to run, from the devil you've become
I won't be taken by you (taken by you)

Thanks. :gabrielle:
But for now everyone should be thanking you from more bad parodies by dropping a 813 page tome to distract me.

Ivana Boristi - Poison by Alice Cooper
Ivan Dislyana - Fun House by Pink
Jackie Reiner - What is Love? by Haddaway
