Companions' Rhapsody

From an old copy of Dragon Magazine, with apologies to Queen.

TANIS:Is this my real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Where do the stars hide?
Why does evil close in on me?
RAISTLIN:Hourglass eyes
Look up to the skies and see.
I'm not a weak mage,
I know the truth, you see.
There will be Dragons Blue, Dragons White,
Dragons Good rise to fight.
Any way the War goes
Doesn't really matter to me - to me.
TASSLEHOFF:Tanis, just look at me!
Found a purse all full of gold!
Oh, it's yours? Well, then I'll hold -
Tanis - please let go of me!
I swear I thought you'd thrown it all away!
STURM:Tanis... hey, let him go.
He didn't mean to take your cash.
We must be off to find the Lance tomorrow.
Caramon, Caramon:
Where is Kitiara?
KITIARA:I'm late, to meet my friends.
Sent men to the front line
Greatest power will be mine.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gonna leave you all behind and lead my troops.
Tanis (ooo-ooo), you deserve to die.
Behind my back you've fallen for Laurana...
LAURANA:I see a little Qualinesti in your soul,
Tanthalas, Tanthalas, can I be your companion?
The memories you're fighting -
That human woman's fright'ning me!
TANIS:Kitiara (Kitiara), Kitiara (Kitiara)
Kitiara Uth Matar -
A Dragonlord!
FLINT:I'm just an old dwarf, everybody bugs me.
Chorus:He's just an old dwarf, but he's still family.
He'll give his life so that we can be free.
CARAMON:Easy go, easy come. Everybody thinks I'm dumb.
Chorus:Car-a-mon, we do not think you're dumb.
CARAMON:I'm not dumb?
Chorus:Car-a-mon, we do not think you're dumb.
CARAMON:I'm not dumb!
Chorus:We do not think you're dumb.
CARAMON:I'm not dumb, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum!
Oh, brother Raistlin, brother Raistlin,
Brother Raistlin, where'd you go?
RAISTLIN:To Takhisis, she's a black robe set aside for me
For me...
For me!
(musical interlude, headbanging, etc.)
STURM:So you think evil dragons can beat the good guys?
So you think you can stab me and leave me to die?
Oh, Lady - you might do this to me, Lady
But you'll never win out,
You'll never defeat Good and Right!
TANIS:Paladine has triumphed
Check the skies and see.
Evil has no place here -
We're free.

Good 'ol April '93.

I find myself doubtful that you knew that offhand.

[identity profile] en-ki.livejournal.com 2005-06-26 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I did, though I will admit I Googled to confirm it. (I only had a Dragon subscription for a year, and that was the only issue I remember.)

Reorder words the so sense it makes.

(D'oh.)

That's fantastic... I have a generic RPG version too that I'll post in the next couple days.

Oh man, that's awesome.

Admittedly, I only read those books a year or two ago, so it's a lot fresher in my mind.... Best pulp sci-fi ever! :)

[identity profile] anitra.livejournal.com 2005-06-27 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
er, not sci-fi, I mean fantasy. I'm doing well today.

[identity profile] juldea.livejournal.com 2005-06-27 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I will be rereading them sometime... :)

Dood

My little geeky heart is weeping with remembered joy . . .
