Disclaimer: Ye gods! Another Disney song! Well, that's because I found a site with the words to everything disney, so I don't have to go a-hunting . . . It's from "Pocohontas", not a great movie, but the animation is kinda cool and the music ROCKS. Also, as was previously mentioned, I don't own XME. Can you imagine if I did? **shudders**
A/N: Boo! I'm back. Sorta. This was originally going to be inside a long, involved prose piece with dialogue and other such fancy things, but I got fed up and decided it was all too cliché. However, I love this song and really liked the mutant lyric changes I made, which SHOULD all fit rhythmically (I hope!), and decided to just post this.
A/NII: I received two requests for Ro/Lo after my last update, and I am honoring those requests (eh, so I'm a Ro/Lo shipper - they haven't introduced Mariko yet, now have they?!). It may take a bit more, but the song fits their relationship (as I see it, anyway) perfectly. It's a cute song too.
Dedication: To anyone who's ever written Kurnda and/or who's given one of the mutants a human significant other. All human. No aliens, no other mutants, no dimension-hoppers and no magic-users. A special mention must be made of Neva, head of the Anti-Xavier cause and the human-girlfriend cause (I swear, we're the only two who bought passages on that ship!). Another to Internutter, a longtime Kurtty, who is into the THIRTIETH chapter of her first-ever Kurnda! Check these two out, as well as everybody else on my favs list!
Uh . . . Yeah. Read the fic!
Savages
(FOH has captured Kurt, and Mags is gonna get revenge. 'Manda's trying to stop all concerned)
[Magneto:]
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse
They're so good at being lead
They're only good when dead
They're vermin, as I said
And worse
[Brotherhood]
They're savages! Savages!
[Magneto]
Merely little humans
[Brotherhood]
Savages! Savages!
[Magneto]
Drive them from our shore!
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!
[Brotherhood]
They're savages! Savages!
Dirty human devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!
[Trask]
This is what we feared
Wagner is a mutant
The curse from which we struggle to be freed
[Graydon Creed]
Beneath that furry hide
There's emptiness inside
[FOH]
I wonder if they even bleed?
They're savages! Savages!
Never were they human
Savages! Savages!
[Trask]
Killers at the core
[Graydon Creed]
They're different from us
Which means they can't be trusted
[Trask]
We must sound the drums of war
[FOH]
They're savages! Savages!
First we deal with this one
[All]
Then we sound the drums of war
[Brotherhood]
Savages! Savages!
[Mystique]
Let's go kill a few, men!
[FOH]
Savages! Savages!
[Magneto]
Now it's up to you, men!
[All]
Savages! Savages!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!
[Amanda]
Is there nothing I can do?
Will this really be the end?
Is it only death that waits
Just around the riverbend?
[Magneto]
This will be the day ...
(Let's go men!)
[Trask]
This will be the morning ...
(Bring out the prisoner!)
[Brotherhood and FOH]
We will see them dying in the dust
[Amanda]
I don't know what I can do
Still, I know I've got to try
[Brotherhood]
Now we make 'em pay
[Amanda]
Now I need my feet to fly
[FOH]
Now without a warning ...
[Amanda]
How could they give way to hate?
[Brotherhood and FOH]
Now we leave 'em blood and bone and rust
[Amanda]
Will anyone hear my cry ...
[Brotherhood and FOH]
It's them or us!
[Amanda]
Please don't let it be too late ...
[Brotherhood and FOH]
They're just a bunch of
Filthy, stinking
[Brotherhood]
Savages!
[FOH]
Savages!
[Brotherhood]
Demons!
[FOH]
Devils!
[Magneto]
Kill them!
[FOH]
Savages!
[Brotherhood]
Savages!
[Magneto]
What are we waiting for?
[All]
Destroy their evil race
Until there's not a trace left
[Amanda]
How loud are the drums of war?
[Brotherhood and FOH]
We will sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
Now, we sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
[Magneto]
Now we see what comes
Of trying to be chums
[FOH]
Now we sound the drums ... of ...
[Brotherhood]
Of course it means the drums ... of ...
[Amanda]
Is the death of all I love
Carried in the drumming of …
[All]
WAR!
