The snow was on the little tavern
'Twas warm inside like a fiery cavern
The thieves were nigh, they went up high
They took the world, with terror they govern
The pilot reunited with a good friend
The men were tired, but a friendship they mend
The man with headphones had angering tones
To plan an attack, a help they lend
In the deep black space, a rocket floats
The green ship bolted to the rocket's white coats
A triumphant yell, the mute heard well
"I'm the bold action man!" The other quotes
The alarms went on and on to horn
The lights flashed red for them to warn
The thieves had rushed, like waves they slushed
The man would soon weep rains and mourn
The valiant hero sacrificed his life
In the pod so small, there was a strife
He wasn't inside, the hero died
The mute's eyes ached to his death like a knife
He left the world and took his flight
Somewhere in the wide seas of the night
His ashes set sail like in a gale
And his soul is found in leaping light
A/N: My first REAL poem. If you haven't noticed already, it's a tribute to Charles and his... untimely demise, which surely ripped everyone's heart's in half (mine didn't ;-;). I originally made this as a comment on a Reddit post (yeah, I'm one of those kids) to suggest the best lyrics for the Valiant Hero ending. While two out of four of the commenters suggest songs that were already made, in my head, I thought, "Tolkien..."
To me, when someone says to make lyrics for something (or make a poem for that matter), the first thing that comes to my head is J.R.R. Tolkien's "songs" in his Middle Earth tales (he's very inspiring to me). So every time I make a poem, I follow a song rhythm of an interpretation of Tolkien's poems, as well as his rhyming scheme; the first, second, and fourth lines rhyme, while two words in the third line rhyme (AAbbA). Now that I think about it, I may have misunderstood the guy's post on Reddit, but what the heck!
Reference: I based the rhythm of the poem on The Wind Was On The Withered Heath from Chapter VII of The Hobbit, Queer Lodging (I was listening to the song a lot at the time). The very first line and the last stanza are also rephrased versions of the original poem.
