I know . I've been a Sabbath fan since I was 10 . I just think it's a nice cover. The original is even more trippy and bleak sounding , actually .

Here's one for Arryn Temple ...

definitely NOT something Marisha would consider for herself

Something more like this is Marisha's style

I can see what you are getting at, but only a little.

Has to be 'That's not my name' by the ting tings.'
Her name is Isabelladonna Rosemyrtle Sproutleaf. Name errors are common, and she answers to everything... even if it bothers her at times.

Something about awarding my character his own theme song seems a bit like providing your own nick name.

That being said, I present to you Motorhead's Sword of Glory from their Album Kiss of Death.

The song is a cautionary tale told to a young soldier by an older one about the dangers of reaching for the sword of glory.

Xandos is a young mercenary devout to the Red Knight who has traveled to the Sword Coast to train and study at the Citdal to practice his tradecraft and improve his understanding of warfare....he is reaching for the Sword of Glory.

"Sword Of Glory"

Where are we to go from here in time,
Do you see the future, do you know,
What can you expect from years to come,
And what can you do now to make it so,

All of history is there for you,
All the deeds done in the world are mad
If you don't know what has gone before,
You'll just make the same mistake again & again & again.

Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
You have to know the story,
Older, colder, life isn't fair,
Got to grab the sword of glory,

If you can't see what bloody fools we were,
Then you were also born a bloody fool,
Listen to the hundred million dead,
They didn't know it, but they died for you,

All you know is that you're young & tough,
Don't you think those millions thought the same,
If you don't know where it all went wrong,
You'll just make the same mistake again & again & again.

Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
You have to know the story,
Older or colder, life ain't fair,
Got to grab the sword of glory,

Read the books, learn to save your life,
How can you find the knowledge if you don't,
All the brave men died before their time,
You'll either be a hero, or you won't,

Don't you realize the only way,
Is see why all those brave men died in vain,
If all that slaughter doesn't make you sad,
You'll just make the same mistake again & again & again.

Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
You have to know the story,
Older or colder, life ain't fair,
Got to grab the sword of glory.

I imagine that much of Zylai'a's best music follows a form similar to:

This is one of the best written songs ever , but it fits Kalo well. Or anyone really

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamor
So I know just what I am

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lift me up consume my darkness
Let me travel even higher

I'm a dweller on the threshold
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I'm gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spheres
Lift me up consume my darkness
When the midnight disappears

I will walk out of the darkness
And I'll walk into the light
And I'll sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I cross some burning ground
And I'll go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown

I'm a dweller on the threshold
And I'm waiting at the door
And I'm standing in the darkness
I don't want to wait no more

I'm a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
I'm a dweller on the threshold
I'm a dweller on the threshold

Heard this on the radio today and thought of Waterdeep's least popular Aurlite, Vale "Dirty Snow" Clearwaters.
