I looked all over for a song to represent my character Riel from my story Vhenen'ara, but I couldn't find one. So I wrote one instead. It is a rock ballad. I have no music for it, but I think it is pretty and fits her personality. I hope you like it! Please read and review it!
Dragon Age is owned by BioWare. The canon story belongs to them as well. The character template Mahariel is theirs. However, I took small aspects of the Mahariel origin story and formed them into my own origin story for my character, giving her a unique history, personality, and outlook. The OC known as Riel belongs to me.
Broken
She's been battered and broken
Tired and used up, abused up
Pushed, pulled and twisted up
Just another man's token
When her eyes don't cry
Her skin no longer bruises
When her voice doesn't break
Her life no longer one she chooses
Those gilded wings once so pure
Dragged through blood and bone
The light that used to shine
Her back straight, steps so sure
Now all that is left is a shadow
A heart that doesn't beat
Eyes that no longer see
She is nothing but a shadow
Of what she used to be
Can you fix the broken?
Can you strengthen the weak?
Can you hold up a body?
One that no longer breathes?
Long ago and once upon a time
She was fierce and full of life
Now she lays and used broken
Crying silent screams in her sleep
Can you fix the broken?
Can you take away the pain?
Her wings no longer hold her up
Can you do the same?
Memories of fears not forgotten
Dreams filled with familiar monsters
Dragging her down, back to that place
The realm of demon's misbegotten
No longer the pretty face a mother kissed
No longer the strength that held on
No longer the one with soft silks on her skin
She has become demons next victim
You can't fix the broken
You can't strengthen the weak
You can't hold her up anymore
When she refuses to even speak
Her wings are gone
Her bones have been set
Her heart is shattered
She stands on unsteady feet
Yet she rises to a new beat
She will fight not for you
She will fight not for herself
She will fight not for life
She fight to simply move on
Can you fix the broken?
Can you strengthen the weak?
Can you hold her up when her wings are gone?
Can you stand back and let her find her own feet?
She may be broken
She may be weak
She may have lost the fight
Yet still she will rise
Rise and move on
Do not hold her up when she falls
Do not hold her down when pulls herself up
Do not hold her back when she takes a step
Just stand by her side
And hold her hand
Telling her that today she can finally
Finally
Move on
