Disclaimer: I own nothing, not even a drunk, singing Edmund. *sigh* The only thing I own is a faint glimmer of hope that someday my disclaimers won't depress me quite so thoroughly...
A/N: Italics = Edmund singing, Bold = Peter singing, BOLD CAPS = BOTH SINGING
Edmund was drunk. You know the immense relief, generally when intoxicated, of spilling out all your frustrations? Coming from a king, said frustrations can be pretty overwhelming.
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Everyone at the dinner party jumped, startled, and looked around to see the source of the singing. They found it in the form of the youngest king, standing on the table, with a carrot as a mike. Only the Narnian Monarchs truly knew what was in store.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
The guests were visibly disturbed as Edmund continued his singing debut in front of the Calormene ambassador, there to observe the character of their long-time enemies.
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
Here some of the younger attendees had become energized, both by strong drink and by seeing their beloved king acting so…free.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
More and more people were joining in the revelry, and much to the consternation of both the ambassador and the queens, High King Peter himself had joined in, stomping feet and waving arms with the best of them.
The representative from Calormen has the floor
A very bewildered Calormene looked around to see if he was truly expected to start singing. He was saved by Peter, who jumped on the table, candle in hand and assuming a comically exaggerated Calormene pose, with Edmund joining in to accent.
… Who criticize your GOVERNMENT
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that DON'T AGREE
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's MEANT FOR ME
Just (Hey!)cause(hey!), just cause(Hey! Hey! Hey!) because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES
I BEG TO DREAM AND DIFFER FROM THE HOLLOW LIES
THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES
THIS IS OUR LIVES ON HOLIDAY
