The DISNEY HONOR SONG THREAD

roseandheather wrote:Well, the last "Let it Go" remix was, frankly, heartbreaking.

So here's one intended to just be funny. (I say funny, because it all turns out all right in the end. I hope it's funny, anyway!!)

"Let It Go" (Dame Estelle's Lament)

[Dame Estelle]
The stars shine bright over Talbott tonight
No reinforcements to be seen
So alone in this universe
Is this what my life's been?

We have far too many star systems outside
Can't patrol them all, heaven knows we've tried...

Just sent the ships, it's all we can
Think to do until they lift the ban
I know we face two-fronted war
But are we that damn far?

Let it go, let it go!
Can't hold it back any more!
Let it go, let it go!
Oh God, open the door!
I don't care what they're going to say
Politicians never bothered me anyway!

It's funny how the distance
Can make us seem so small
You'd think that they'd remember
But they don't care at all!

It's time to see what we can do
To test the limits and break through
No ships, Marines, no help for me
Well, I will make them see!

Let it go, let it go!
Let every dispatch cry!
Let it go, let it go!
At least we've got to try!
I don't care what they're going to say
Let debates rage on
Politicians never bothered me anyway!

We need a fleet and God, we need it now!
Mesa, the League - we're on a breaking bough!
And one thought crystallizes fearfully and fast -
If we don't get some help, we won't survive the blast!

Let it go, let it go
Or we won't make it till dawn
Let it go, let it go
Or we will soon be gone!
I don't care what High Ridge'll say
Let debates rage on
Politicians never bothered me anyway!!

this is funny. great.

Honor:

Let's get down to business
To defeat Mesans
Did they send us Sollies, not Manties, Peeps, Graysons?
You're struck blind, it seems, by Oyster Bay, and you haven't got a clue!
The GA will make spacers of you.

Nimitz:
Tranquil as the People, but Death Fangs within,
Once we find these murderers, we will surely win!
You have felt the wrath of the enemy, now you know what you must do!
Honor will, make a Fleet out of you.

Shannon:
Surrounded by all of this new tech!
Eloise:
Fighting for the man who loved me!
Mike Henke:
Boy the MA are fools for waging war!
White Haven:
My Honor's got 'em scared to death!
Theisman/Sonja referring to Eloise/Shannon:
hope she doesn't see right through me!
Elizabeth:
Now they'll face the GA and Manticore!

GA:
(For Honor!)
You must be swift as a pouncing Treecat!
(For the Sword)
With all the force of a Grayson's sword
(For Haven)
With all the strength of a SD Squadron,
To avenge the deaths of all who've left this world!

Honor:
Time is racing towards us, till the Mesans strike!
Theisman:
Heed your Fleet Commanders, and you might survive!
Eloise:
They're not suited for Haven or Manticore so we'll beat them through and through!
Elizabeth and White Haven:
Honor will make a Fleet out of you!

(For Honor!)
You must be swift as a pouncing Treecat!
(For the Sword)
With all the force of a Grayson's sword
(For Haven)
With all the strength of a SD Squadron,
To avenge the deaths of all who've left this world!

With all the strength of a SD Squadron,
To avenge the deaths of all who've left this world!

So help me Haven, if I could sing, this would be up on YouTube by this time tomorrow.

(So would the Eloise version of "Let It Go", come to think of it...)

Can we add Pixar and Dreamworks movies to the mix? pwease!! There's gotta be some mine-able fun in flicks such as the Road to Eldorado, etc.

What is the adapted tune? Is this from "I'll Make a Man Out of You" (from Mulan) ?

Exactly. Compare

Let's get down to business
To defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
...
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man out of you

Props for rhyming 'Huns' with 'May-suns'.

I tried. My 'cat's ears were not amused.

I'm BAAAAAACK!!!!!

Hellfire (A different take on the song, Eloise as Frollo singing about the MA)

Scene begins:

Eloise Prichart, alone and frightened, thinks of Javier and Mesa. She reminds herself that the Allignment took Javier from her and caused Haven to lose countless lives in the wars. Her pain and her fear cause her to turn vengeful towards the Allignment itself, and she sings "hellfire" to express her hatred of the enemy and her desire to purge their treachery (and her loss) from her pain stricken heart.

Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)

Noble, Righteous Haven
You know I serve you proud and pure,
Of my virtue I am surely right

Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)

You, my honored Haven,
You know thus that my course is sure,
To defend you, my land, preserve your might,

Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)

Then tell me,dear Haven
Why I see them dancing there
Why their smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

Cogitatione (In thought)

I feel them, I see them
The sun caught in their missiles there
Is blazing in me out of all control

Verbo et opere (In word and deed)

Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This vengeful
Desire
Is turning me to sin!!

It's not my fault

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

I'm not to blame

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

It is the hidden foes,
Mesans who sent this flame

Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

It's not my fault

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

If in your plan

Mea culpa (Through my fault)

you made my vengeance so much
Stronger than I am!!

Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

Protect me, dear Haven
Don't let this firebrand cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy the Allignment
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or let her fate be mine and mine alone!

*Honor enters with her command staff and Shannon.*
HONOR: Madam, President, the Mesans have escaped.
ELOISE: What??
SHANNON: Their fleet has left the system.
ELOISE: Return to action, then. I'll find them, if I have to search from here to Talbot and back again!!!

Hellfire
Dark fire
Now Mesa, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

God have mercy on them

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

God have mercy on me

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

But they must now yield
Or they will burn!

A rather... different take on the original...

Elizabeth:
Deception
Disgrace
The truth was staring me right in the face!

Eloise:
Deception (An outrage!)
Disgrace (For shame!)
I sent my lover to die, all in vain!

Both:
Deception (An outrage!)
(They can't change their stripes)
Disgrace (For shame!)
(You know these Havenite types)
The truth was staring me right in the face!
Deception (An outrage!)
(Look what they've done!)
Disgrace (For shame!)
(Liars and scoundrels, each one!)
I sent my lover to die all in vain

Born in grief
Raised in hate
How could we escape this fate?
Now we know
Now we see
The long-hidden face of our true enemy!

And you are now one of us
You should have always been part of us
You are now one of us
Our true friend!

Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we know now what is it they've done
And the Mesan Alignment will burn!

You are now one of us!

Deception

Disgrace

Redemption

Reclaim

Alliance

These are really good. If I could sing a little better then I definitely would sing some of these for posting!

Can we turn this into a general filk song thread? there are so many songs out there that could totally be twisted to the Honorverse I would love to see what comes out of everyones imagination. I had an idea for a song, but its definitely not Disney.
