Chastiefol

V6

[Intro — Sleepy, Forest Ambience, Floating] Five more minutes... the forest can wait... I've been sleeping for centuries, fate can be late... Just a lazy little king on a pillow of green — The Grizzly Sin of Sloth, the sleepiest you've seen... [Verse 1 — The Absent King, Viking Rap, Drowsy but Dark] They crowned me Harlequinn, King of the Fairies, Guardian of the forest, the Fountain, the prairies, But I wandered away chasing a friend who fell — And while I was gone, my whole kingdom went to hell, The forest burned black while I stood far away, Elaine gave her life 'cause her king wouldn't stay, So they branded me Sloth — and the brand fits me well: I wasn't asleep... I was absent... and my whole world fell! [Pre-Chorus — The Spear Awakens, Voice Sharpening] But touch my forest... touch my Dee-anne... And the pillow I'm floating on turns in my hand — Chastiefol spinning, the leaves start to scream — The king is awake now. End of the dream! [Chorus — FORM CHANGE, Dubstep Drop, Kingly Authority] CHASTIEFOL! Ten forms in a single breath! Guardian bear with the claws of death! Sunflower burning like a second sun — You woke the Sleeping King, now you better run! Chastiefol! Spear of the Fairy King's wrath, Fossilize titans in the forest's path! Grizzly Sin of Sloth, slow to rise, slow to forgive — But the forest remembers every life it must live! [Verse 2 — Helbram, The Real Sin, Haunted Trance] My sin wasn't sleeping — my sin was standing still, Watched my best friend Helbram learn to hate, learn to kill, Humans butchered his heart and I froze in between, For two hundred years I just... watched it turn mean, Couldn't raise my spear, couldn't end his pain, Every massacre since wears a piece of my name, That's the Grizzly's burden, the sloth in my soul — Not the naps that they mock... it's the guilt I can't control! [Chorus — FORM CHANGE, Dubstep Drop] CHASTIEFOL! Ten forms in a single breath! Guardian bear with the claws of death! Sunflower burning like a second sun — You woke the Sleeping King, now you better run! Chastiefol! Spear of the Fairy King's wrath, Fossilize titans in the forest's path! Grizzly Sin of Sloth, slow to rise, slow to forgive — But the forest remembers every life it must live! [Verse 3 — Diane, Wistful, Gentle Rap] I found her alone — a giant child, lost and afraid, Built her clothes, built her shoes, taught her games that we played, Then the world hurt her bad and to spare her the scar, I erased what we were... and I watched from afar, Seven centuries passing with my heart on a shelf, She forgot me completely — I remembered for both of us, myself, Every king needs a kingdom, every sloth needs a quest — Mine was waiting for Dee-anne with this ache in my chest! [Bridge — The Trial, Trance Breakdown, Quiet Resolve] The first king offered me vengeance and wings... Power for hatred... the oldest of things... But I chose her instead. I chose love over war... And the wings that I'd earned just by choosing... finally tore — Through my back like a storm, like a prayer, like a vow — Gloxinia... this is what a king is... now! [Verse 4 — The True Fairy King, Soaring, Powerful] So I rose against angels with my wings open wide, The fairy who slept now has nowhere to hide, Disaster in my blood — every scratch turns to doom, Every wound that you carry starts to flower and bloom, Oslo beside me, my hound of the dark, And the forest behind me with its ancient heart, I was sloth, I was guilt, I was seven sins' shame — Now I'm Harlequinn. Remember the name! [Final Chorus — TRUE FORM, Biggest Drop] CHASTIEFOL! Ten forms in a single breath! Guardian bear with the claws of death! Sunflower burning like a second sun — You woke the Sleeping King, now you better run! Chastiefol! Spear of the Fairy King's wrath, Fossilize titans in the forest's path! Grizzly Sin of Sloth — but my eyes are open wide, And the forest stands with me, with the Giant at my side! [Outro — Sleepy Again, But Peaceful] Five more minutes... Dee-anne's shoulder is warm... The forest is safe now, safe from the storm... Just a lazy little king... with a spear and a crown... And this time... this time... I won't let it burn down...
