[This song is a duet featuring one male vocalist and one female vocalist] [Verse 1 - Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod came down from the mountain high With fire in his eyes and truth to testify [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] He saw a dragon on a glowing screen And declared it the strangest thing he'd ever seen [Male Vocalist as The Rod] He raised his staff and he raised his voice Said, "Artificial song is a dangerous choice!" The comments trembled, the likes stood still As The Rod proclaimed his mighty will [Pre-Chorus - Male Vocalist as The Rod] "The thread is finished!" The Rod declared But destiny was already there [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod came to strike the root! [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani brought the lute! [Male Vocalist as The Rod] One brought prophecy and fire [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] One brought dragons to the choir! [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod proclaimed, "This thread is done!" [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani said, "I've just begun!" [Male and Female Duet] Hey! Ho! Raise your glass and raise your boot! [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod struck hard! [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani brought the lute! [Verse 2 - Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani laughed and smiled And answered in a manner mild [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani - Spoken/Sung] "Buddy, I posted a comment on Facebook, Not a position paper before the Council of Nicaea." [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The tavern fell completely still The bards forgot their ale to spill Even dragons paused mid-flight To witness this historic fight [Pre-Chorus - Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The stars aligned The heavens shook [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod wrote scripture [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani brought Star Trek [Chorus - Male and Female Duet] The Rod came to strike the root! The Maha Rani brought the lute! [Male Vocalist as The Rod] One saw beasts and prophecy [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] One saw a Voyager DVD! [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod proclaimed, "This thread is done!" [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani said, "I've just begun!" [Male and Female Duet] Hey! Ho! Raise your glass and raise your boot! The Rod struck hard! The Maha Rani brought the lute! [Bridge - Spoken Dialogue] [Male Vocalist as The Rod] "I am Rod." [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] "I am the Maha Rani." [Male Vocalist as The Rod] "Then we are enemies." [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] "Not necessarily. Have you heard my new single?" [Fiddle Solo] [Accordion Solo] [Crowd Laughter] [Final Chorus - Male and Female Duet] The Rod came to strike the root! The Maha Rani brought the lute! A dragon soared above the fight A hologram sang through the night [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The beast appeared and checked the charts [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] And found a playlist full of art [Male Vocalist as The Rod] The Rod kept preaching through the night [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] The Maha Rani hit Promote for five [Male and Female Duet] Hey! Ho! Raise your glass and raise your boot! Long live The Rod! Long live The Maha Rani! Long live the lute! [Outro - Male and Female Duet] THE ROD! THE MAHA RANI! THE ROD! THE MAHA RANI! [Male Vocalist as The Rod] May The Rod strike the root! [Female Vocalist as The Maha Rani] May The Maha Rani release the soundtrack!
