ORIGINAL SONG: Mother of Dragons
Sep. 5th, 2017 10:16 pmJust got to spend most of last weekend at our first Dragon Con since before moving overseas four years ago, and managed to get in a few hours of open filking on Sunday night, at the ungodly late start time of 1:00 AM (!!), before we had to go home and crash. D*C's filk track always seems to inspire me to write new stuff, and this time appears to have been no exception. The following is original, melody to follow.
( A song about dragons for Dragon Con -- how big a coinkydink is that??? )
( A song about dragons for Dragon Con -- how big a coinkydink is that??? )
Here I stand, you slavers of Yunkai,
A western-born female who knows not her place;
None of you realize I speak your language
And know ev'ry insult you hurl at my face!
Those you enslaved I have given their freedom;
No more shall you sell their children for gold.
My dragons all grown, a stark choice I give you:
Live in my new world or die in your old!
[Repeat Chorus]
A western-born female who knows not her place;
None of you realize I speak your language
And know ev'ry insult you hurl at my face!
Those you enslaved I have given their freedom;
No more shall you sell their children for gold.
My dragons all grown, a stark choice I give you:
Live in my new world or die in your old!
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge] How far I've come from my Dragonstone home
Through the waste and the great grassy sea,
But ere I'm done, I shall go even further
And all seven kingdoms will bow down before me!
Through the waste and the great grassy sea,
But ere I'm done, I shall go even further
And all seven kingdoms will bow down before me!
Here I stand, you lords of Westeros,
The Mad King's sole daughter, before you and whole,
Come to reclaim what my father bequeathed me--
The Iron Throne Robert Baratheon stole.
Already my forces march on King's Landing,
Dragons soar high over Blackwater Bay,
And not all your gold nor the walls of your castles
Will keep you safe if you get in my way!
[Repeat Chorus 2x] ...And I shall be queen of the world that remains!
The Mad King's sole daughter, before you and whole,
Come to reclaim what my father bequeathed me--
The Iron Throne Robert Baratheon stole.
Already my forces march on King's Landing,
Dragons soar high over Blackwater Bay,
And not all your gold nor the walls of your castles
Will keep you safe if you get in my way!
[Repeat Chorus 2x] ...And I shall be queen of the world that remains!
