Well, my ballad isn't recorded up yet.
But you can have the "anthem"!

It's called Stealing Peace

Can't embed, but you can check out the lyrics:

Stealing Peace

Queen's Thief, made a cripple
Am I going blind, too?
What is this life for, that I don't die?
They're dying over it out there, and here she comes

  Steal me peace, steal me time

 

Gods double-cross me
An honor I could do without
I'm reaching for something
Though it took my hand off...

Oxe Habrea Sacrus Vax Dragga

All I can think of is her cruel face
The lips that ordered my fate
Let me come in to your Thief
We're square, now you've stolen something of mine

  Stole my peace, my peace of mind 

Eyes never killing me
Why are we here—what do we want?
I reached for you
With the hand that is gone...

Oxe Habrea Sacrus Vax Dragga

I can steal anything
What if I stole you?
From your enemies, stole your throne, too
Steal you to peace,
Steal you to be mine

Oxe Habrea Sacrus Vax Dragga




Check it out if you can--you may not like it, but it's fun anyhow.

Wicked! I think the last part is my favorite. Can't wait to hear the other.

This is such an original idea - first the yarn, now this... what next??!

I've done that.

Well, it wasn't on a sidewalk. It was on the chalkboard at my school. There was much eyerolling on the parts of my fellow students.

That's pretty cool.

I think my favorite part is the whispered invocation.

I also really like these lines:
Gods double-cross me
An honor I could do without

"Steal me peace, steal me time."

This is my favorite quote from the books. So cool that you're written a song around them. Anachred, you're diversely talented!

Oh, I enjoyed browsing your etsy shop, by the way. I love etsy. I browse there every day. It almost makes me cry, all the beautiful things people make. There are also a lot of hysterically funny items. People are amazing, aren't they?

I love it. Absolutely. It's amazing how much action you can miss in a day. I can't believe we have a song for them especially now. Sounisians are so awesome! Thank you!

Very fun, very cool! I especially loved the play on the quote in the last line. (I'm a total sucker for wordplay. I actually laugh at puns.)

Wow, I am in awe. So many artistic, creative people in Sounis! I would say, "We rock!" but in this case it's definitely you guys that rock!

This rocks! Iirc, it's the first QT filk I've heard. If you had an album, I would buy it.
