Teridax Sings: Snuff Out the Light

by H.R.C. Stanley

Snuff Out the Light from Disney's "Kingdom of the Sun", which eventually became "The Emperor's New Groove". I don't own the original song at all. Originally written by Sting. I also don't own the cover image. Characters belong to Lego. Enjoy!

Teridax:
When a Makuta acquires a certain age
And those who obeyed you no longer swoon
It pays to avoid the light-filled days
And live by the glow of the kindly moon
But the moon grows old
Just like us all
And his glorious years are done
So now he prays through eternal days
To take his revenge on Mata Nui

When I was young at the Brotherhood
I was a fun magician
And then I thought with a clever mind
A plan with such good vision

And I was no kohlil-head
Did outrageous things with the undead
And often the stiffs that I would shrive
Would look better dead than they did alive

I studied well I learnt the trend
I hope my reign shall never end
If I could find that curse
To help me rule the universe

It was always my ambition
To find that big solution
And gain some small remission
From the vagaries of time

Every single ray of light robbed me of my youth
Who's to blame?
Who's the one?
Who's to curse?
You know the only on to blame
Would be my enemy Mata Nui

Snuff out the light
Claim your right
To a world of shadow
Snuff out the lights
Neophytes
Of a world of shadow

Roodaka baby turn me on
Every light shall soon be gone
I could squeeze something with glee
The promises you make with me

I've really stopped at nothing
Murder, treachery, and lying
Whatever it takes to take my place
You can't really blame an old man for trying

Snuff out the light
Claim your right
To a world of shadow
Snuff out the lights
Neophytes
Of a world of shadow

Snuff out the light
Claim your right
To a world of shadow
Snuff out the light
Here tonight

Bohrok, Rahkshi, Vahki, Visorak, Vorox, Skrall and Bone Hunters:
Apparitions of eternal darkness
Spiraling in circles through the night
Creatures of beguiling blackness
No more squinting in the light

Teridax, Bohrok, Rahkshi, Vahki, Visorak, Vorox, Skrall and Bone Hunters:
Bats and owls and coiled sea dragons
Crocodiles and carrion beasts
Swirling in the growing darkness
Join us in the coming feasts

Spirits, wraiths, and apparitions
Spectres, phantoms, demons and shades
Serpents, salamanders and dog-faced devils
Dance and watch as the dying spirit fades
