Okay, so . . . um . . . this is awkward XD
I recently got the new album from The Fold: All Ages: The Complete Ninjago Discography of The Fold. And I noticed something: Possession has no songs written for it (apart from its remix of The Weekend Whip). And since they're taking a break for Sons of Garmadon, that season gets absolutely nothing - not even a remix of WW.
That's not right. Oh no. Not right at all.
So what's that have to do with me? Well, I've taken it upon myself to fill in the gaps that The Fold has left behind in Possession and Sons of Garmadon - by writing my own songs for them! I unfortunately cannot write music, but if you find any songs to match my lyrics, please let me know! (I'd prefer it if they were maybe written by Christian artists, seeing as to how the only secular music I listen to are from movies XD)
But as I thought about it, I also noticed: hey, Rebooted has five songs, discounting its version of The Weekend Whip. Seasons 1-2 have only three and Tournament of Elements has four, but Skybound, Day of the Departed, and Hands of Time only have a measly TWO songs each?! That's not cool!
So, here's the dealio: I'm going to even out the playing field a little bit. I'm going to write songs for all eight seasons, so they have exactly the same number of songs. You see what I'm sayin'? If you don't, that's okay, I'll keep talking XD
Here's the list of songs I'm going to write (I won't write the prompts, that takes the fun out of it XP)
3 songs for Seasons 1-2
1 song for Rebooted
2 songs for Tournament of Elements
6 songs for Possession
4 songs for Skybound
4 songs for Day of the Departed
4 songs for Hands of Time
And
6 songs for Sons of Garmadon
Whew. That's something of a mouthful. And I'm pretty sure this is the longest author's note I've ever written.
"Author's note?" you say. "You mean you actually wrote a song already?" As a matter of fact, yes. So, without further ado, the first NON-FOLD Ninjago song: "King of Snakes", written for Seasons 1-2. (I'll continue the author's note AFTER the music stops XD)
Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago, but I do own the following lyrics. I have written them myself in a hopefully Fold-esque manner. This is not parodying an already-written song.
King of Snakes (please give me a song to match this with, because I don't know of any XP)
Prompt: The Serpentine in Season 1
The tombs have been opened,
The deed has been done;
The Serpentine are out,
A new enemy has come!
But hang on a minute:
What's going on?
The snakes are many,
But they're not one
Let's strike now
Before―
Chorus
A new king can claim the throne:
One snake to rule them all
The tribes are split; they call for war
But who will be the king of snakes?
Hypnotic eyes, spitting tongues,
Venomous fangs and coiling tails;
All turning on each other
Their cause is doomed to fail!
But hang on a minute:
What's going on?
These snakes are many,
But they're listening to one?!
We gotta strike now
Before―
Chorus
Who's this new guy on the scene?
He's no fool, he can take control
What trouble this could mean
If―
Chorus #2
A new king can claim the throne:
One snake to rule them all
The tribes are split; they call for war
But could he be the king of snakes?
Don't let the tribes unite!
Chorus #2
Here's the rest of that author's note XD
I'm gonna shake things up a little with a challenge for y'all: one of the seasons is going to get a bonus song before I begin taking requests, and whoever guesses the correct season by the time I finish writing for Sons of Garmadon will not only have their requests taken first, but also get a free one-shot! How's that grab ya?
But, obviously, there's some rules.
#1: You have only one guess, so use it wisely.
#2: You cannot change your guess after you post it in the reviews. Anyone who does so will be automatically disqualified from the contest.
#3: You can post your guess at any time between now and when I finish the final song for Sons of Garmadon. This date, for now, is undetermined.
That's about it. So, have at it! I hope you liked this! Stay tuned for the next song comin'atcha soon!
