#are there 50 other things i should be working on yes
my very first original song with lyrics!! @gavinnersroadie and i made too many jokes about lucya being a disney princess so i wrote an in-character musical number, a completely normal thing to do
[LYRICS]
LUCYA: My story starts on the edge of the wilds, in Mossgrove my dear home
I felt no higher calling than wood and axe and stone
With my family there to care for me and my best friend by my side
“What more could there be to life than this?” I thought, so starry-eyed
But seasons change and years go by and hearts will change as well
Including the heart of my dearest friend, who I thought I knew so well
He’d stop and turn his head away, to gaze up at the sky
Maybe I could’ve stopped him if I knew the reason why
I saw him on the night before he ran away
The fire in his eyes as he said goodbyes shone like the break of day
They told me that he swore a vow of iron
The metal guides his steps and binds his soul
Adventure calls for those who swear on iron
His crying mother said that he can ne'er go home again
For years I thought about him as the others let him go
The moss grows o'er the hills and vales where we thought that we’d grow old
What drives a man to wander so and leave his loves behind?
As seasons passed o'er Mossgrove, I’d understand in time
I’m not cut out to live my life in thrall to hearth and home
There’s nothing wrong with being a wife, but isn’t there something more?
I can hear the trees and mountains, they sing that I’m my own
My iron blade calls me to quest to every distant shore
Dear father, mother, siblings too, forgive me… somehow
For as I trace the holy runes I understand him now
With bated breath I swore a vow of iron
The metal guides my steps and binds my soul
Adventure calls for those who swear on iron
Until I find my friend, oh I can ne'er go home again
JAGAL: So that’s the story, huh?
LUCYA: Um, yeah?
JAGAL: Well I’ve heard it all before
No matter the lies you tell yourself, you’ll never get back home
It’s a lonely life we live, girl, the blade’s a cruel and fickle guide
LUCYA: So why don’t we follow it together?
JAGAL: …I guess we could give it a try
JAGAL: You know that I’m no hero, girl, I’m not gonna save your hide
LUCYA: But I don’t need a hero, sir, just someone by my side
Forever we will swear our vows of iron
The metal guides our steps and binds our souls
And whether we drift apart or stick together
Until we faint or fail, oh we can ne'er go home again
Oh, we can ne'er go home again
