LYRICS:
Okay, it's Lord of the Morning, waging war with the Dark One
Move, whitecloaks, with your zeal for the fake sun
Move, darkfriends, cause ashes, I'll burn either
I'm the Dragon, and I'm Reborn, and I'm here to cure the fever...
in the Pattern, with some short straws
A O L is over, see
My taint is where it's supposed to be, your taint is in my sanity
This Forsaken man, I stole his fame, and now I am his nemesis
The list is running long though, terminating with prejudice
Hot like the Wasteland
Getting grim, being nicknamed as Darth Rand
Channel like my name should have a fourth part added
Filling prophecies while I'm going fully rabid
Justice for the peasants, humility for nobles
Handing grain for needy, hanging traitors for their troubles
I made my heart steely, now I'm calling it cuen'dillar
Built for tragedy, like a Rhuidean pillar
These people are afraid of me
'Cause I'm a mad man, barking, giggling, still
"The Dragon is insane!" Blast you! Praise me!
Duty like a mountain range just constantly weighs me
Told me I was fated and that stuff did not faze me
Tell me how I'm marked again, my scars forever pain me
"You're my Lord Dragon now", yeah, dude, I better be
Or you can be knelt and then swear fealty
You wanna see my girl? Use the plural
You wanna see my girls? It's a spiral
"Man, why does every prophecy link to this guy?"
I don't know, all I know it means you comply
Time to balefire
Burn the threads out
I'm churning nations in the prep for the final bout
Time to balefire
Burn the threads out
I'm churning nations in the prep for the final bout
These Forsaken dudes talk smack, start killing
Burn that, got no time for an archvillain
I'm from Two Rivers, got my head all full of wool
So these nobles misjudge me and take me for a fool
Yea, they say they want a leader, step up to a throne now
Told me they're believers, first of all, I'm crowned now
Second off, you're disowned, your lands are your peoples
Breaker of Chains, you'll hate me, but you will respect
I give my all, like Lews did
Bruise my soul for the task, no future
Bleeding at Shayol Ghul, now I can't even think ahead
Karatheon Cycle? No peace, no happy end
Shout out to my blacksmith, he represents the steadiness
Shout out to the gambling fool, who thinks himself out of this
I know you hate me 'cause the taint made me to break the world
and all they do is blame me, and forget that I helped save it too
I'm sorry for who died for me
Listing all the Maiden names, at cost of my own sanity
Yeah, I'm repeating sins to torment me
So if you don't think I'm happy and able, don't bother me
I don't smile much, that's the older me
I'm burning fortresses to ground, pre-emptively
The mad man in my ear? Insanity
Made the Weave then captured it
Death Gate's the shit
These people don't know what they'll lose
If they keep on mounting pressure without a fuse
And I'll give you all of me until there's nothing left
I swear this battle will be Tarmon Gai'don, bitch
I love the lyrics. They are great. I always always enjoy hearing your voice, and it's perfect (especially your mad giggling) for this song!
I had to laugh at "I don't smile much, that's the older me" even though his spiraling (and not with the girls) is chilling
The included captions are not only easy to read, but the font and sizes add to the tone of the song.
My favorite WoT rap of all 4 years!
This is amazing, thank you
Well deserved for the finals!
Very good!
Your lyrics are always so good, and your maniacal laugh is phenomenal. Thank you for consistently creating such amazing gems.
This is my favorite parody to come out of WoT Idol 2024. There are just so many things I love about it! Your lyrics and the overall feel captures Rand's swagger SO WELL, but still with the glimpses of vulnerability. Then there's just the wordsmithing 🤯 I'm still not over "Channel like my name should have a fourth part added, Filling prophecies while I'm going fully rabid" and I never will be😌 So good!
I also love all the layers in the audio, especially during the chorus. The laughing and breathing add so much atmosphere to the lyrics! It's perfection 🤌
The video too was fantastic! All the images you pulled from the show matches the lyrics so well. Just top notch, Rahkoi.
I'm really excited to see what you come up with next! ✨
Thank you so much for the kindest words! And for the inspiration and passion that you put to WoTIdol. Your entries are always so creative and exciting that they really push the envelope. Very excited for next year again. Can't wait!
@@DrRahkoi Thank you so much, Rahkoi ☺️ Your comments mean a lot to me because I really admire your creativity. Your parodies are some the ones I keep coming back to again and again. I hope you'll enjoy whatever I end up making for 2025 🙏
ON FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lyrics are fantastic and you flow so well! Great tune.
This was SO GOOD Rakhoi! I'm so glad you got to the finals, well deserved!
