Ballad of Bracken.

Now I'm not saying I like Fablehaven as much as Harry Potter. But I do like Fablehaven enough to write a song about it. So here it is. This contains spoilers for the 5th book, so if you want to read it and haven't yet, you probably shouldn't read this post. (I also, er, rather obviously borrowed from The Unicorns.)


Ballad of Bracken

He was born a unicorn
But he lost all three of his horns
An evil man locked him up tight
He paced the dungeons through an endless night

The first horn he gave away
To a man who saved the day
The third horn was made into a cup
That helped lock the demons up

Yeah he was born a unicorn
But he lost all three of his horns
He’s trapped in his avatar form
But he was born a unicorn

The second horn was stolen, you see
By a villain with treachery
That evil man locked him up tight
Until he met a girl who shone bright

Yeah he was born a unicorn
Until he lost all three of his horns
When he looked into her mind
He knew that she was fairykind

They escaped and went on a quest
Protect Eternals, they did their best
When his second horn came into sight
He had to laugh and win the fight

Yeah he was born a unicorn
Now he got back his second horn
From his body a brilliant light poured
And his horn turned into a sword

Dragon, man, and fairykind
Are his companions, they’re determined
Narcoblix, shadow charmer, golem too
And the satyrs were part of his crew

'Cause he was born a unicorn
He can make a sword from his horn
Now they’re off to the demon gate
The end of the world to await

The Fairy Queen helped with the fight
And they battled the darkness with light
Though he may look just like a man
He’s a unicorn and he has a plan

Yeah he was born a unicorn
Without his horns he felt so forlorn
That all changed when he made up his mind
To spend his life with the fairykind

Yeah he was born a unicorn
He felt so awesome when he found his horn
He had to stay in his avatar form
But he will always be a unicorn


(aside: I'm finally pulling all my lyrics off my old livejournal and putting them into actual computer files. Can you imagine the horrors if that old livejournal had been destroyed somehow? All my songs gone! And I'm surprised to say that I actually wrote some pretty good ones. I mean, they are actually good lyrics. Sometimes I have great doubt in my poetic ability, and sometimes I prove that doubt wrong.)
