AT LONG LAST! Pierce has owed this video for a long time since started an Indigogo and the only thing holding him back was an accurate instrumental version.
The instrumental can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=9j7WpBvLn6g
Based on Kovu's Lullaby from Lion King 2.
Lyrics, vocals, art, and editing done by me, BaldDumboRat/Pierce Smoulder. Chrysalis is from before my transition, the changelings were recorded recently with my new voice.
Lyrics:
Chrysalis:
Sleep, my little Changelings
Let your dreams take wing
One day when you're big and strong
You will serve your Queen
Changeling:
Good night my queen...
Chrysalis:
Good night, my little hive. Tomorrow, your training intensifies.
Chrysalis:
I've been exiled, persecuted
Left alone with no defense
When I think of what that snoot did
I get a little tense

But I dream a dream so pretty
That I don't feel so depressed
'Cause it makes my insides giddy
And it helps me get some rest

Celestia's final dying gasp
Her student squealing in my grasp
Her kingdom's long and mournful cry
That's my lullaby

Now the past I've tried forgetting
And my foes I could forgive
Trouble is, I knows it's petty
But I hate to let them live

Changeling:
So you made yourself somebuggies
who'd chase ponies down alleys!
Chrysalis:
Oh, the battle may be muggy,
but that kind of works for me

The melody of angry growls
A counterpoint of painful howls
A symphony of fear, oh my!
That's my lullaby

Discord's gone... but Chrysi's still around
To love these little gnats
Till they learn to all be killers
With a lust for being bad!

Changeling 1:
Sleep, ya little termites! Uh-- I mean, precious little things! Changeling 2:
One day when you're big and strong

Chrysalis:
You will serve your queen!
The pounding of the drums of war
The thrill of changelings taking swarm

Changeling 1:
The joy of vengeance
Changeling 2:
Pesticide!

Chrysalis:
I can hear the cheering

Changelings:
Changelings on the fly!

Chrysalis:
Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a bug-green sky
That's my lullaby!
