A/N: This one's "Take Me to Church" by Hozier, delivered as a resentful ode to the Star Spirits by Bowser.

Show Me the Stars

My princess's got humour
She's the sunshine at a funeral
Knows of nobody's disapproval
I should've kidnapped her sooner
When you Spirits come down to speak
She's your favourite mouthpiece
Every battle's getting more bleak
A fresh power-up each week

"He was born sick" - I heard her say it

You Stars mock me with absolutes
You tell me "dreams will never come true"
That only defeat will be sent to
Those who try to depose you

I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be killed
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Show me the Stars
I'll worship like a Sprite at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knives
Offer me that deathless death
Spirits, let me give you my life

Show me the Stars
I'll worship like a Sprite at the shrine of your cries
I'll tell you my hopes so you can summon your knights
Give to me that deathless death
Oh Stars, let me give you my life

Well I'm a villain to the good times
Want kingdoms in sunlight
Can't keep the princess by my side
Extra lives are sacrificed
Plumb the whole sea
Wield something fiery
Power mushrooms for the main course
Yoshi's a fine looking high horse
Now she's leaving with your men
Looks like I lost the fight again

Cake looks tasty
They got plenty
This is hungry work

Show me the Stars
I'll worship like a Sprite at the shrine of your skies
I'll tell you my schemes so you can forewarn your guys
Plan for me that deathless death
Spirits, let me give you my life

Show me the Stars
I'll worship like a Sprite at the shrine of your light
I'll tell you my dreams so you can call for the fight
Send to me that deathless death
Oh Stars, let me give you my life

No plumbers or kings
When the boss battles begin
There is no sweeter violence than our wild clashes
In the madness and power of his final smashes
Only then I am Koopa
Only then I am free
Oh. Oh.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Show me the Stars
I'll worship like a Sprite at the shrine of your sighs
I'll tell you my pains so you can avert your eyes
Force on me that deathless death
Spirits, let me give you my life

Show me the Stars
I'll worship like a Sprite at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can poison your knives
Wish for me that deathless death
Oh Stars, let me give you my life
