Since people are still interested in my fics over here and FFN has fixed a couple (but not near all) of the issues it's been having, I'll start posting my stories here again. This is really against my better judgment and if they screw up so that dashes disappear or the ads somehow get more annoying, then I'm not coming back. It's bad enough they still don't allow tildies for no apparent reason.

I'm posting this in chapter one of all my stories so everyone knows where I can be found. See my profile for the link to my homepage.

[dark stage, single spot lighting Klavier from the back so his features are still in shadow]
[deep, low strumming, no other music]

Here again
The battlefield
Fighting for
What's really real

There's just one thing
I must inquire
Why can't I hear
Your burning desire

[the lights come on, pyrotechnics flare, the music blares, and the fans go wild]

Are you ready for the rhythm
Psyched for the song
Here we come together
In the place we belong
My brothers and sisters
Shout it to the skies
ALL RISE

Get up and scream
Your soul to the night
Let your troubles go
And it'll be alright

Now keep it all clean
We're not here to brawl
We just want to get lost
In the beauty of it all

Oh and it's beautiful
Are you ready
Are you set
Ready
Set
GO

Ready for the rhythm
Psyched for the song
Here we come together
In the place we belong
The demons of our days
We now exorcise
ALL RISE

[instrumental jam session and introduction of the band]

Everybody
Are you ready for the rhythm
Psyched for the song
As we come together
In the place we belong
My brothers and sisters
Let's shout it to the skies
ALL RISE
