This is a songfic/parody for Tsavong Lah and Viqi Shesh in "Rebel Dreams" by Aaron Allston, the 11th novel of the series "New Jedi Order", from 2002. The original Song is "Beautiful Liar" by Beyoncé and Shakira from 2006. This is a duet and for this reason I let Viqi Shesh's part straight and Tsavong Lah's part will be in italic letters.
Liar
Ay
Ay
Nobody loves me
Ay, Viqi Shesh, Viqi Shesh
Oh, Tsavong Lah, Tsavong Lah
(hey)
You may feel honored,
that I watch waste disposal
in my high position.
But you are in danger
and you don't even know about.
This fate
you've chosen for me? (Yes)
Be polite and
I'll let you chose from three
honorable ways of quick death
(No!) I can jump right now
(Yes) into your pit falling down.
don't need your nameless nothings at bay
but you'll be the one to cry.
So anxious to make
amends for your mistake?
(Ay) I will do it this way
(if) it is what you require;
(it) is my obligation
to serve. But you are a liar!
(Ay) I will not betray you
in this chamber just You and I
I know aren't your enemies.
But please stop being a liar!
Lying. An interesting offense.
What a deliberate defense.
You think
nothing worse than death
could await you
But I tell you, if that's your belief
then you are completely wrong.
Your body tossed
into the pit.
Eaten slowly
by creatures and you cease to be,
as though you never ever were.
You lied saying you want me dead,
because my last mission went that bad.
You spared others still loyal assets.
But how'd you tolerate what I just found out about?
(Ay) If you kill me now
(Ay) You may lose the fight
(Ay) Yes, you want the drama
But it's your tragedy and you are a liar!
(Oh) Can't we talk about?
(Yeah) It's worth your time
(Uuh) Please get your both drones out
of the room, lest they can spell your doom.
Viqi, I am impressed.
You have correctly assessed.
I am killing you because
you are no longer a resource.
I trust you,
like you should trust me
I saw a priest
whispering to a shaper
That's the danger you are in.
I know your body
is defying
your new arm,
and you are wondering, on which of
your gods you did commit a sin?
Soon they'll ask you to take action
comply your Radank claw will be save.
but defy and they evoke a rejection
Warmaster, you're going to be their slave.
(Ay) If you kill me now
(Ay) You may lose the fight
(Ay) Yes, you want the drama
But it's your tragedy and you are a liar!
(Oh) Can't you see at last?
(Oh) It's high time
(Oh) Only me you can trust
So stop being a shabby liar
(Ahh) An interesting notion
(Uhh) And they exploit your devotion
But what if you are wrong?
I'm not wrong, but you'll be shamed.
Because the priests and the shapers
are the ones to blaaaaaaame (hey)
[Sing Pause]
(Ay), Viqi Shesh, Viqi Shesh
(Oh), Tsavong Lah, Tsavong Lah
(Uhh), Viqi Shesh, Viqi Shesh
(Yeah), Tsavong Lah, Tsavong Lah (hey)
(Ay) Let's take out the traitors
(Ay) Start a final fight
(Ay) Yes, it's worth the drama
Show me you're more than a handsome liar
(Oh) All I want is
(Oh) an opportunity
(Oh) Kill me then but first prove I'm right
I'll be a victress despite your lies.
So we will see.
I will give you new duties
until proof is in my hands...
or my patience ends.
Or my patience ends.
(Yes), I'm always worth it
(Ay) As long as I have my wits.
They're already prepping your pyre.
So cease being a little liar.
(Let's) take out the traitors
(So we will see.)
(Ay) Start a final fight
(I will give you new duties)
(Ay) Yes, it's worth the drama
(until proof is in my hands...)
Show me you're more than a handsome liar.
(or my patience ends.)
