Song for Dragonloft

Postby MonkeyPants4736 » Thu Dec 03, 2015 10:55 pm

On the way home from work, I heard "Howl" by Florence and the Machine on the radio. I made a song for Dragonloft using the same format/cadence/tune? I can't use it in-game since it's way too much a rip off from the original song, but it can at least go in the forum :)


Dragons Rising aka Dragonloft aka Prowl:

The ground is trembling now
Something has come uncowled
From eggs such tiny things
Will burst forth dragon wings

First dragon landed here
Built his nest through the years
Now every road he paves
Widens doors to our cave

Next dragon landed there
She keeps all corners square
Better not make a mess
She keeps a tidy nest

One speaks with charm and grace
Warm smile on her face
This town upon a hill
She’ll lift it higher still

We prowl
Prowl

Now there’s no holding back
Our eggs begin to crack
Watch tiny dragon claws
Break through thick shell walls

One is taking flight
Hawk eyes quick and bright
All around she sees
Such opportunities

One speaks with words of light
Keeping away the night
Hear her pious calls
Echo through temple halls

One walks on all fours
Padding across the floor
He needs no coin or gold
Trust can’t be bought or sold

We are both Void and Sun
We prowl

A blessing or a curse
For those who are well versed
In turning tiny dreams
Into ambitious things

No one can stop us now
Just depart with a bow
It’s becoming clear
No room for weakness here
Like rising queens and kings
Not on feet but wings
Over this hallowed ground

We prowl


There are several other characters who should get a mention in the song, but I need to go play now! :lol:

It's perfectly fine to parody RL songs in-game. You just have to be careful not to cross the line with OOC references, but since there aren't any in this song it should be cool. It would be a shame not to.

Maybe if I had listened to the original song these lyrics wouldn't look so predatory? Nice one :P

The original song is indeed quite predatory. I though I'd toned it down quite a bit, but I guess some of the predation crept through :)
