Song 4: "Stop, Dragon Song"

During our encounter with the shadow dragon Zyphara (the one with whom Langlicia would ultimately bond as a Dragonlord), we were tactically trying NOT to attack her--even though she was attacking us--and instead connect a Greater Restoration spell on her.  The problem was that she kept flying away from our Cleric.

When Berrain (a Bard) used a Mass Suggestion spell to make the dragon stop, I joked about his song/spell being to the tune of Stop Draggin' My Heart Around by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty.

After the session, I just couldn't quite get the idea out of my head until I'd taken it to completion.  So here is the full song, arranged as a duet between Langlicia (singing Stevie's part) and Berrain (singing Tom's part), about the incident and Lang's feelings about the incident as it unfolds.

[ To the tune of Stop Draggin' My Heart Around by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty ]

[Lang:]
Versi, you warned me about what's in store
Same dark dragon that I'd seen before
Now she's here and what I am supposed to do?
What's this thing that I'm getting into?

[Together:]
No I can't ignore your troubles or frown
how you're keeping those demons down
Stop, Dragon, I'll...
Stop, Dragon, I'll...
Stop, Dragon, I'll halt the sound

[Lang:]
It's hard to think this is what I wanted
It's hard to think about what I've lost
This isn't even something I believe in
But then do I believe anything at all?
[Berrain:]
I know you really want your freedom to fly
I know you really want to be your own girl

[Together:]
Zyffy now I've got to look you in the eye
Yeah, I struggle with the weight of the words
But, Dragon, I...
But, Dragon, I...
But, Dragon, I won't back down

[Lang:]
Sydon's burning a fuse for the world
Won't stop 'til it's under his shoe
No regrets about what I did
You need someone looking after you
[Berrain:]
I know you really want your freedom to fly
I know you really want to be your own girl

[Together:]
Baby, now's your time to fly up in the sky
I won't struggle with the weight of the words
Now, Dragon, fly!
Now, Dragon, fly!
Now, Dragon, fly out unbound!
