the self-written legend
..with the embarassing cover I made in Paint. Well, I don't care. Me and Kvothe are fly like that. This one is also ooooold father William and ressurecting it didn't make it more comprehensive (Devi will curse me, I know). But here's what I got, with a slight slant of How Kvothe himself sees his story, as hamsterwoman requested so long ago.
RUN DADDY RUN // Miranda Lambert
The Edema Ruth child
All the songs you used to sing to me
Would rock birds to sleep
I need you now so, please, somehow
Put rockets on your feet
Daddy, can you hear the devil drawing near?
Like a bullet from a gun, run, daddy, run
WIND IN THE WIRES // Patrick Wolf
The urchin in the crook of the roof
Wind in the wires
It’s the sigh of wild electricity
I’m on the edge of a cliff
Surpassing comfort and security
But here comes a gale
A crippling anger
Sea birds are blown into the rocks
Grace is lost to thunder
BEDLAM BOYS // Heidi Talbot
The Arcanum prodigy
And when that I have murdered
The man in the moon to a powder
His staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake
And there'll howl no demon louder
Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie,
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
I WANNA BE THE ONE // fun.
The musician
For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever
Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past
Its sends its call out to the moon, and the moon can see
the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds
It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound
NO SUBTLE MEN // Anna Ternheim
Denna
I'm one of few who's left
When everyone has gone
The train is leaving
And it's too late to get on
So much for running
When no one stays to wait
For another broken promise
To slip my mind by mistake
Who would take my word
On anything these days?
THE PRAYER // Bloc Party
The moon-walker & Auri
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon
TO THE BRINK // I Am Kloot
The Eolian
Do you fancy a drink, I know a place called the Brink
Do you wanna go there?
I can buzz off your smile, and there may be people you know there
They've got no rule of thumb,
So on the counter I strum with my fingers
And I adore the surprise of tomorrows sunrise
So I linger, and I raise a glass, a smile or two
This stuff strips the light from your bones
And I would like to stay with you
But I leave alone
TRUE LOVES // Rufus Wainwright
The ultimate goal
A heart of ice is easily melted
A heart of stone is easily thrown away
It's the true loves that make me want to cry
It's the true loves that make me want to say goodbye
THE NIGHT WILL GO AS FOLLOWS // The Spill Canvas
Dreams of idyll
In a romantic fashion I will experiment
With my fear right before her eyes
And every smile that's unveiled will be soaked
In my nervous charm
The August sky will then bear witness
To a brand new chapter with torn up pages
When the planets align, I can feel the gates opening
To my courage as I proceed to run my fingers through her hair
And forget everyone who's jaded, 'cause they don't matter
And I don't care
VENUS AS A BOY // Bjork
The charmer
His wicked sense of humour suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her touches, he's Venus as a boy
He believes in beauty, he's venus as a boy
KING // The Romanovs
Felurian
Look no more; only the weak use their eyes,
But I, I will teach you right.
Come with me, come inside,
spead your sails, shed your pride
and don’t mind those salty sips that drag you down.
You’ll just be gone and I’ll sing on and on,
And on and on and on
To capture the next one.
WALLS OF JERICHO // Fair to Midland
The shaed-cloaked conjurer
Another tomorrow, shedding the shade we made yesterday,
Disguised as the lightning, dissolving all of the thunder, then -
Appeasing our monsters under the acrylic skies
String up your harp, play like today will last five minutes
It wont take long to sing us a song to stop the sirens
Sing us a song to stop the silence
MASTER OF THE WIND (MANOWAR COVER) // The Mill
The Namer
Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I whisper a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams in a single dream of light
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bring
BOAT BEHIND // Kings of Convenience
The prodigal son
So we meet again after several years
several years of separation
moving on, moving around
Did we spend this time chasing the other's tail?
Singing: Oh, I could never belong to you
ELEMENTS // A Fine Frenzy
Ademre
You show up like a hurricane, all hungry-eyed and weather-stained
The clock forgets to tick and I the same
I died the day you disappeared, so why would you be welcome here?
Ride the wind that brought you back away
No, you can't come in
Oh, the elements I do not fear
But I fall apart when you appear
Cause you are the greatest
The greatest disaster
FANTASY MAN // The Swell Season
The legend of Lanre
So go on now, you are forgiven
Let's put it down to life
The story of two lovers
Who danced both edges of the knife
In the station you're standing
Not knowing what you want
And the secrets we're defending
Have become our only bond
I WILL NOT GO QUIETLY (DUFFY'S SONG) // The Whitlams
Everybody's favourite rascal
I will not go quietly
I will not behave myself
It’s not for sake of fighting
It’s not for you or anyone else
and I was the best, you all knew it
on the days I cared at all
You can all say I blew it,
you’ll be talking 'bout me for years
THE KING IS DEAD // Kent
The Kingkiller future
Thin december air is like the dry ice smoke
You'll come to your senses or inhale and choke
My IQ allows me to brush you aside
You're zeros and ones, you're wrong where I'm right
Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
LOSE YOUR SOUL // Dead Man's Bones
Kote the innkeeper
I get up in the morning
to the beat of the drum
I get up to this feeling,
keeps me on the run.
I get up in the morning,
put my dreams away,
I get up, I get up, I get up again.
A HEART ARCANE // Horse Feathers
It was a year so wild not a month was tame
It's where your friends all foul your name
While you would drag your feet,
You're inclined to do the same
Can you believe what they done?
Gave you half of what's left, which was none
BONUS TRACK Баллада о чернокнижнике
Обознались вы, право,
Я всего лишь поэт,
Не искал себе славы,
Не бранил божий свет.
Я скиталец безродный,
И на меч не похож
Ни к чему не пригодный
Мой заржавленный нож!
Не хитри, чернокнижник,
Ты известен, как черт.
В самой жалкой из хижин
Твоим песням почет.
Ты купался в отраве
И летал по ночам,
И приказывать вправе
И зверям, и мечам!
