It's a rough copy, and a first draft, so critique would be much appreciated. Additionally, if you're planning on attending MtlFest, you can also plan on hearing this song.

The Dragon Wings Of Sam Willis


Brutus Wagner is my worst enemy in all the world,
But the school’s sports fans love him, and he’s popular with the girls,
I, on the other hand, am beset on all sides,
Tormented by some, ignored by most, and by the balance despised,
Everything will change-

When I get my fairy wings,
I will be cool as all-get-out,
Me and my translucent flutterings,
Will be all the girls talk about,
After midnight at their slumber parties.

I’ve allowed six to eight weeks for them to arrive,
Since ordering--they’ve been the most suspenseful of my life,
Isabelle McKenzie (The prettiest girl that I’ve ever met),
Thinks Brutus is the zenith of cool, but she hasn’t seen anything yet,
Everything will change—

When I get my fairy wings,
I will be cool as all-get-out,
Me and my translucent flutterings,
Will be all the girls talk about,
After midnight at their slumber parties.

They’re here! They sprouted while I slept,
They’re filmy and more beautiful than I ever even dreamt,
Today is the day I go from reviled to cool,
I’ve been hovering ‘round the kitchen with excitement, and I think I’ll fly to school,

When I get my fairy wings,
I will be cool as all-get-out,
Me and my translucent flutterings,
Will be all the girls talk about,
After midnight at their slumber parties.

[Pre-recorded interlude]

I am the leper, a plague-ridden mutineer set adrift,
Brutus and the status quo have given me bruises and black eyes,
Isabella and her clique showed the wrong kind of surprise,
I’ve lost all joy of life, my wings have lost their lift,
This afternoon, I can barely flutter home through the pain,
I am no longer ignored; I’m an object of disdain,
Not a single person appreciates my gift.
But everything will change—

When I get my dragon breath,
I’ll toast Brutus and his friends to a crisp,
The threat of early and fiery death,
Will close sneering lips and paralyze fists,
Who needs to be cool if the world is afraid of you?

Yeah, when I get my dragon breath,
I will be the hero of the downtrodden everywhere,
I will recompense bottomless debts,
Brutus Wagner and Isabelle McKenzie will despair,
Evil will no longer be fun.
[Outro. Screaming, maniacal laughter.]

Errrrrr.

You know, I liked this song. Very fun, reminds me (seriously, I really overuse this comparision) of early Relient K (e.g. Mood Rings, etc.). I'll go through and RC it later.

[Gecko of Doom]

My first impression is that it's absolutely freaking brilliant.

[Small]

Thanks, guys!

Anyone else?

[Naragrath]

My first impression is that it's absolutely freaking brilliant.

Agreed. So fun, so humurous...so heart wrenching serious.

[SecretAgentRat]

I laughed really hard. And then I kind of a sighed, because it's really sad when you really think about it.

And then my head exploded from the awesome.

(I'm sure it has faults, but I'm no critic...so I'll just be a fangirl. Err...or something.)
