Was listening to Hamilton (which is brilliant) and I thought of writing an Eragon version.

VANIR:
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
human, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
spot in the Northwest by wyrda, impoverished, unguided
Grow up to be a hero and Lead Rider?
NASUADA:
The New Order Founding Father without a father
Got a lot farther by workin' a lot harder
By bein' a lot smarter
By swearin' to the Warders
By sixteen, he had become a sapphire dragon's partner
SAPHIRA:
And every day while peasants were being slaughtered and carted
Away under the mountains, he trained and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of, though
My Rider wasn't ready to fight or wear his armour
AJIHAD:
But the Urgals came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw the soldiers 'round him injured and drained
The Shade was coming for him, would everything be in vain?
Then the Star Rose broke and rained, through the heart Durza was slain
ORIK:
Well the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man!"
Urged by a Mourning Sage to travel to the elven land
"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came,
Alagaesia's gonna know your name! What's your name, man?"
ERAGON:
Eragon Bromsson
My name is Eragon Bromsson
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait
ARYA:
On his journey, his father died, but that truth was hidden
Year later, see Oromis and Eragon, who's stricken
With pain, his back scarred with magic
They're frantic
ANGELA:
And Eragon got better but his ears - another matter
OROMIS:
He fought with his brother, the brother committed regicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, somethin' new inside
A voice saying "(Rider) don't you start pitying yourself"
He started leading (not retreating) every foray into hell
RORAN and (COMPANY):
It would've been difficult to do
For someone less astute
He would've been killed by Ra'zac, two
Of them vile wicked and brutal
He was meltin', smeltin' metal instead of Rhunön
Forgin' himself a blade that all his enemies would die on
(Flyin') to Vroengard to find Kuthian's Rock
(Plannin') for the future, see him now he doesn't balk
The last of battles gonna be his final stand
In Urû'baen you'll have to be a real man
COMPANY and (ERAGON):
In Urû'baen you'll have to be a real man (Just you wait)
In Urû'baen you'll have to be a real man (Just you wait)
In Urû'baen you'll have to be a real man
WOMEN:
In Urû'baen
MEN:
Urû'baen
ERAGON:
Just you wait
COMPANY and (COMPANY):
Eragon Bromsson (Eragon Bromsson)
We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Eragon Bromsson (Eragon Bromsson)
When Alagaesia sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh
BARST and (COMPANY):
The Varden's at the gate now, see if you can spot him
(Just you wait)
Another peasant boy comin' up from the bottom
(Just you wait)
The empire will destroy his rep and he'll be forgotten
MURTAGH:
I fought with him
SOLDIERS:
Me? I died for him
ARYA:
Me? I trusted him
TRIANNA, RORAN:
Me? I loved him
GALBATORIX:
And me? I was the damned king killed by him
COMPANY:
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait
ORIK:
What's your name, man?
ERAGON & COMPANY:
Eragon Bromsson!
There are probably some lines that could use some cleaning up, so do leave a review if you've anything to suggest! Thank ye.
