I wrote a song about my character, Karleon. He is a character who I have talked about before, and you may recognize him as the blue haired elf who wished you a happy New Year's. Karleon, if you don't know already is the god of mischief from the Fantasy world I'm world-building. And this song, I envision being played in a tavern, and would often be played during the Festival of Magic in honor of him.
Here is the lyric video for the song:

💙 Lyrics 💙-
In between worlds was a god,
Under a facade of innocence,
The world was in a prolonged bliss,
For there was no chaos in it,
Come to me, come to me.
Karleon, come to me,
God of mischief and prophecy,
Come to me, come to me.
The magic from the world was hidden,
To be used by mortals was forbidden,
But the gods hatched a plan,
And the quest to release chaos
Began.
Come to me, come to me.
Oh Karleon, come to me,
God of chaos and prophecy,
Come to me, come to me.
With beauty and slyness,
Did they steal magic,
From the righteous
King and queen,
Things are never as they seem,
Things are never as they seem,
So, magic of all kinds was released,
To mortal, king, princess, peasant, and priest.
So balanced the world became,
And things were never the same.
Come to me, come to me.
Oh Karleon, come to me,
God of thieves and prophecy,
Come to me, come to me.
This was Karleon’s first trick,
Before he became the sly and slick,
God we’ve come to know,
Now go out into the winter snow,
And remember this tale,
And know not to underestimate,
What all of us
Can create.
Oh Karleon, come to me,
God of many things and prophecy,
Come to me, come to me.
Come to me.
I love the story that the lyrics are telling. It is so vivid and powerful. <3

I think my favourite two lines are: "So, magic of all kinds was released,/To mortal, king, princess, peasant, and priest." I think magic should be available to all, so this resonated with me.
ReplyDeleteI love the Norse myths of Loki the trickster and the Marvel movies/series with him as well. I also have a soft spot for Coyote, the trickster in North American indigenous mythology. And finally -- Bugs Bunny, who has been identified as a trickster figure in our modern culture!
He does look mischievous! And I love the tavern sounds at the beginning. It does almost sound like a bard or minstrel beginning to sing... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Greg. :)
