A recording I made today with minimal edits, for a song that is the character theme for my fruit bat character. I have references to the first line of the song dating back to April 4, but completed it only yesterday. And I guess it was almost done two days ago. I figured it was fitting to share this on Bat Appreciation Day.


Lyrics:
I'm here to save the night
On wings of skin I take flight
The nectar tastes so sweet
To fuel every flap and beat

I sleep throughout the day
For that is my people's way
We're born to eat the fruit
I'm a voice you cannot mute

My mind just can't be bound
Born to fly above the ground
My tongue's a press for juice
My guide, the clicks I produce

Chorus:
Fly By Night
In the Starlit Sky
When I take flight
Freedom's time is nigh

Save the night
That's why I soar high
In the moonlight
Let all be free to fly

I live to aid the trees
With the pollen in the breeze
The echoes from my snout
Help me know to plan my route

I roost with my head down
But defy the mole king's crown
I've still got room to grow
To take flight I just let go
My kind move through the air
With bodies covered in hair
By stars we find our way
In the dark we sing and play

Chorus

My face is like a dog
I can hear even in fog
By sound I navigate
By nature I stay up late

My people live so free
For my home's a hollowed tree
Can't bind my mind with hate
Can't control me with a plate

I'm not for you to catch
My brain not yours to attach
Implants to take control
Of my freely flying soul

Chorus

Take up wing in the starlight
Flight is how I save the night
