Author Note/Disclaimer: I wrote a lot of Wheel of Time filk a few years back, but it was all really bad. This is one of my later ones, and the only one I haven't come to hate after a month. Also, WoT belongs to Robert Jordan and the song "Piano Man" belongs to Billy Joel, I believe.

Sorry about the lack of formatting- I tried to put in spaces where appropriate, but none of it stuck.

Edit: I reread this and realized that, wait a minute, Mesanna hated teaching. I fixed the line, and now Mesanna won't have to, ahem, 'teach me a lesson'.


It's pretty hot here in Shayol Ghul

The rest of the Chosen slink in

I'm glad Balthalamel's not sitting next to me

He started this mess we're all in.

I said, "Asmodean, come play me a melody

I cannot recall how it goes

But it's strong and it's sweet and I knew it complete

'Fore the 2nd Age came to a close."

La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da dum

Sing us the Song, Asmodean

Sing us the Song tonight

'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody

Even one from the side of the Light.

Now I boast that the Great Lord's a friend of mine

He's gonna make me Nae'blis for free

('Cause the rest of the group is incompetent

and the times I've died are less than three.)

He says, "ISHAMAEL, THIS WHOLE THING IS SUCH A BORE."

And I dared not uncover my face

"WELL, I'M SURE THAT I COULD UNMAKE THE WORLD

IF I COULD GET OUT OF THIS PLACE."

Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da dum

Now Lanfear's a wannabe actress

Who constantly dresses in white

And she's talkin' with Semi, who's terrified many

'Cause her bark's just a taste of her bite.

And Graendal is practicing politics

As Rhavin makes eyes at her streith

Then there's Demandred and Moghedien

with Mesanna, who hated to teach.

Sing us the Song, Asmodean

Sing us the Song tonight

'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody

Even one from the side of the Light.

We're a pretty bad bunch here in Shayol Ghul

And that myrddraal gives me a smile

Hope he knows about me, even his kind can see

That I am the Chosen most vile.

And the harp sounds like an Ogier

And the True Power fills them with fear

And they kneel at the lake 'cause their lives are at stake

And say "Great Lord, we'll bust you out of here!"

Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da dum

Sing us the Song, Asmodean

Sing us the Song tonight

'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody

Even one from the side of the Light.
