Some PS-themed song texts / poems

[derula]

I've been writing a ridiculous amount of song texts inspired by the world of PS, my main character and RPs that have been going on lately (though referencing none of them directly). I am planning to make an IC use of the better ones, but I don't want to throw away the others (which either lack in quality or are redundant, or both), so... well, here are a few. More may follow.

No return

One day, sunshine, I'll leave behind this town
I pray that I can make it by my own
A shame what this city has now become
Its fame today merely a joke for some

  The doors of Laanx' temple will be closed forever
  and I can ensure you that I will never
  return.

One night I'll simply pack my stuff and go
You ask if I'll return, but I say no!
Can't take Hydlaa for yet another day
And now I'd better be out on my way

  I'll pay my last rate at Kada-El's tavern
  wave at the tender and ensure her I'll never
  return.

Run away, run away, run awayay
Into the light, into the light, towards the crystal
Leaving behind, leaving behind what I'm used to
I just hope, only hope I won't lose you

  One last trip to the non-existing caverns
  to climb up the windowless tower
  clear my throat and shout with great power:
  Listen guards and citizens, I'm leaving Hydlaa now, and I will never
  return - not in a lifetime
  return - not in a century
  return - I will never, so you better forget about me


Sewer Rats

The sewer rats, though questionable beings
I believe that even they... have feelings
And that their morals are remarkably superior... to yours.

Look around you, the world in that you live
And just hope that the gods will forgive
You all the hate you spread, all the unreasonable violence... you brought to us.

I don't like you, don't think I ever will
And everyone who does... must be ill
Just go away from here, we don't need such mindless killers... as you round here.


It's also your world

You see them fight harmless animals and people alike,
Why does nobody stop them?, you think quietly.
A Gobble collapses after the final strike,
but you just close your eyes, go away and let them be.

  If you always run away, you'll never change a thing.
  Don't assume that someone else will, this won't be so.
  But I hope that what I tell you will be encouraging,
  'cause it's the only way to go.

You are taking some mining lessons with a friend.
Harnquist is your trainer, and he may be the best.
A stranger approaches quickly with a blade in her hand,
to, before you even see her, stab your friend in the chest.

  This time you can't run away, you watch your friend die.
  You're feeling so helpless, the guards far away.
  Some people gather around you, stare down at you,
  to show they commiserate.

The next time it won't be your friend, it will be you.
And there is really only one thing you can really do.
Simply asking for assistance won't achieve a lot,
you have to start acting or the world will start to rot.

  No one will ever help you, you are on your own.
  But I can guarantee you that you're not alone!
  If they can't make a change, then do it yourself,
  it's also your world, after all.

Whatever you would like to be done: do it yourself!
Whatever should be changed in this world: do it yourself!
Whatever needs improvement in your eyes: do it yourself!
It's also your world, after all,
it's also your world, after all!

Not quite matching for a royal ball ... but interesting, nevertheless. Well done!

A small prayer, I hope you like it

I pray to thee, protect thou me, Xiosia, and my friends
as I foresee, eternally, we will be in thy hands.
I pray to thee to set us free, Xiosia, in your land
while I agree to guarantee it will not turn to sand.
I pray to thee beneath thy tree, Xiosia, and where not
as thy existence and thy name must never be forgot.
I swear to thee, my deity, that if thou stayst with me
I'll praise thy generosity for all eternity.

This one was to be used ICly but well it wasn't, so there:

Law & Go Away Now

It's the law, so go with it
it's not the time wo be a wit
so just shut up and do as told
exceptions've already been sold
go on, there's nothing here to see
nobody's ever said you're free.

  Law and go away now, everything's under control
  Shut up and be gone now, back into your hole

Law is there, so there's no crime
all criminals get stopped in time
octarchal guards are working hard
and if in doubt, just ask a bard
he'll sing 'bout peace and happiness
you nod, but outside, there's a mess.

  Law and...

It's the law, we go with it
unhappily, I must admit
but I'm not silenced easily
to counterpart's my destiny
unviolently, that's for sure
I think that art's the only cure.

  Law and...

Other killed songs I didn't post yet (again lack of quality or presence of redundancy):

Want you back

I remember a time, not too long ago
Somewhere in my mind, buried below
All the lies he told, things I was taught
To remember this time is for what I fought

  Your skin so soft,
  Your smile so bright,
  Your words so true,
  Your face... so beautiful

  I think that - I need you
  Remember - I love you
  I hope that - I'll find you
  I know that - I want you back

Now I just want you back, to be yours again
I will look for you, soon as I can
I will track you down, the place you are
Just for getting you back, I will go that far

  Your touch so soft,
  Your laugh so bright,
  Your mind so true,
  You are... so beautiful

  I shouldn't - have left you
  Why did I - release you
  I just want - to kiss you
  I hope that - I'll get you back

If you can hear me now, where ever you are,
Somewhere in the world, I hope not far,
Remember our love, something divine,
And I hope you'll return and again be mine

  Your kiss is unforgettable, your smile disturbs my sleep,
  You're yo extremely beautiful, your thoughts descend so deep.
  Despite his lies I never forgot our promise and the rings,
  The lake, the trees and then a lot of less important things

  I want you - I need you - I hope I will find you
  I love you - I'll get you - I just want to kiss you
  I shouldn't have left you - Why did I release you?
  It's time to look for you and finally get you back!


Taking back our town

Hydlaa has seen better times, cleaner ones, I mean.
And I'm not talking filthy streets, but dirt that can't be seen.
They're coming from the sewers and kill people randomly;
now this is just a state I can't accept so easily.

  Housewives, children, husbands unite!
  Tonight we're taking back our town.
  Together we can win the fight
  and bring those dustbags down
  (we'll bring them down!)

If you think I exaggerate, wake up and look around:
Our home is just a paradise for those from underground.
The answer is to raise your fist, and sing along with me:
Together we will claim our homes and fight in unity.

  Housewives, ...

They are strong, but we are many; together, we will win.
We won't accept the situation they put us in.
We don't have to live in terror if we cooperate,
so come on, people, get together, before it's too late!

  Housewives, ...

They will get what they deserve, and justice will succeed.
We will live again in peace, will be freed.
No constant fear while we'll be walking our streets
and no more horror when we lie on our sheets.

  Housewives, ... (twice)


Where are you now?

I'm standing here again, bagging fruits and plates
it smells like fish and sweat
The Azure Sun burning down from above
and people crowd the place
A busy day again, but I'm lost in thoughts
wondering where you are

  But he tells me again my memory is just a dream
  and that I have to forget
  whatever I think I remember about you
  or else he'll make me regret
  Where are you now?

He's at a warehouse, purchasing things
I am sitting outside
"Make yourself useful" he's yelling at me
but I don't give a dust
Don't want to be his slave for another day
and I'm thinking of you

  And he tells me again my memory is just a dream
  and that I have to forget
  there's business to be done, and that we're a team
  and that he'll make me regret
  But I think "Where are you now?"

Where in this world, I hope not far
just want to know where you are
I want to look for you but he won't let me
he wants me to forget but we will see
I still remember when we first met
and just like amber I will conserve
this memory... just where are you now?


Life's too short for that

What are your plans for this wonderful day
Whom will you laugh at, whom will you betray
Who will you trick into being your friend
And where is this going to end

Managing people as names on a list
Who'll get you heart and who will get your fist
You're only happy if others are not
But there is a thing you forgot

  Life's easy when you're ignorant of life itself
  You add another trophy to your rotting shelf
  Remember what you wanted, compare to what you get
  Now try not to believe that life's too short for that

Isn't it easy to follow Dakkru
Isn't it harder to try something new
Imagination's not everyone's gift
But what are you going to shift

Where do you see yourself in fifty years
After five decades of just causing tears
Blood on your hands and deep marks in your skin
There's one scar for each single sin

  Life's easy when you're ignorant of life itself
  You add another trophy to your rotting shelf
  Remember what you wanted, compare to what you get
  Now try not to believe that life's too short for that
  |: Life's too short for that :|

I wanted to sell books with the ones I took IC (there are 21 of them in total which are now in two separate books owned by two separate people), but didn't get to do it.
