"The Ballad of Edea" ("Kickapoo")

by Edea of Mavros Lykos

A long ass friggin’ time ago, in a land of blood and strife
Lived a fierce wolf pack, with violence they were rife
But oh, there was a lone wolf there and she knew what she would do
Her name was Edea and she refused to walk that line
With her lion friend Gerry, she would jam out all the time
They sang and strummed and jammed and their vision did arise
 
Oh the Calamity arose! Fangs and claws they did appear!
And the Fated came from the hills, to make their stand here!
Was they who fucked up the Calamities oh fucking hell
And if you ever fucked with them they would fuck you up too!
 
Gotta rock out in the pit tonight
Gotta get it on in the pit tonight
Gotta hit it hard in the pit tonight
Gotta find some love in the pit tonight, aah!
 
::noise of smack being heard::
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
 
You’ve made me angry, runt, why were you never drowned?
Your brother’s more fierce than you, his strength is more than sound.
This noise that you keep blasting makes you weaker than a babe
This music’s for the sheep, it makes you a snowflake
You’ll become weak and soft and trouble it will bring
Your friends already with an enemy and chaos it will bring
 
::sound of posters being ripped down and figures being knocked over::
 
You’d better hold your tongue and muzzle keep shut
You’re training for a month in the fighting hut
Don’t wanna here you whimper, don’t wanna hear you whine
As long as you’re in my home, your future’s mine!
 
::door slams::
 
Shale, are you out there? Elwing, can you hear me too?
I’m asking for your wisdom, won’t you please come through?
I need some incredible music god advice
My mother thinks you’re weaklings but she can hang in a vice
Rock is not evil, it’s amazing and cool
But Gerry and I won’t make it as long as we’re in her rule
 
::Edea goes to sleep as Elwing and Shale appear in a dream::
 
Shale: We hear you brave young wolf cub! Your song’s behind key and lock!
Elwing: You want to learn the greatest songs, you want to learn to roll and rock!
Shale: Run from your mother’s grasp and this ruthless way of life!
Elwing: Grab your friend and go or violence will be rife!
 
Shale: In the City of Citadel, where the East meets the West!
Elwing: You will find a strong crew, in whose friendship you can invest!
Shale and Elwing: To find your greater glory, onto a great ship you must board!
Shale and Elwing: You will face many hard ships, but with them you’ll find accord!
 
::Edea bolts up and grabs her things, her kythera, posters, figures of Elwing and Shale and runs to Gerry’s house as they run away from their hometown::
 
So they bailed from their shitty town, hunger in their hearts
And they sailed and walked and ran, to escape this violent farce
But in the end they knew their fate was in the cards
Rock!
Rah-ha-ha-ha-hock!
Raye-yayayayaye-yock!
