I am not sure if this is quite ready to be published. It is very much a work in progress, and I am not sure what rating to mark it as either. I wonder if the ranting nature of what the vampire bat character is saying is too dark for a game that the ESRB would give an E10+ whenever I eventually finish it. Especially when you realize exactly what he is talking about when describing a disease killing millions of bats in some other world he has been receiving visions of when he was sealed away.
I deliberately have each couplet of the vampire bat's lines be 6 syllables followed by 8 syllables, and each of Blast's lines 9 syllables each.
I think I have a lot of songs in much more developed states than this that I haven't even posted yet. Would help to know what notes I am singing first.
I started these lyrics on March 12th and finished March 15th.
Plague of Spores, death by spore
Millions of wings beat no more.
What I saw in this tomb
A world our kin face certain doom
Shut your noseleaf, you false god of death
You're lucky my sister still draws breath
Silence pup, tis my song
Visions torment me for so long
Care you not, foolish brat
For the pain of a fellow bat
My sister is sick due to your curse
In the hands of the doctor and nurse
Stupid kid, don't you see
I gave her immortality
Turning her into what she is not
That's it, I will stake you on this spot
Interrupt me no more
The nightmare that I have I store
The only story I wish to hear
Is the one I save my sister, dear
Dreams dancing in her head
Show her the visions of my dread
Do you feed on rage as well as blood?
You build my anger into a flood.
Dreams of what I have seen
Another world is what I mean
Demons rule that cursed place
Where our cousins die at high pace
Stop the cause of this rot
The biped devils, they did not
Sealed away, with no mate
Saw death to those that hibernate
As for this, world we share
Your end shall come within my lair
