But for some reason, I just didn't have the lyrics, but only the story that I want to touch on in the song. But what happened afterwards... I guess I was a little TOO inspired😅 But at the same time, as luck would have it, Suno didn't really want to make the song relatively rich in music. No matter how hard I tried, he always removed the very atmospheric flute from the verses after the first verse. It turned out to be a strange ballad. So I gave up and decided to focus entirely on the plot, and also tried to find music that wouldn't be too annoying or inappropriate. I also wanted to touch on the character's backstory, since his peculiarity allows it, but common sense and the long lyrics of the song do not allow it. I guess, this is my record. Even "Revenge on the Red Rose" was not so voluminous (original 7-minute version, not remade one)... And I don't even know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. A classic thought arises: "Who's going to listen to a seven-minute song, are you crazy?" So... Bad, I guess? But I hope these numbers and letters won't scare you off and you'll be interested in hearing about Dairo and Rover. Dairo's lore obviously won't fit here, so either I'll do another song about his "becoming" later, or maybe... I'll give up on that🗿 But at least I have my notes, I won't forget about him. ========================= [Medieval Flute intro] [Verse 1] Near the Tinkertune tavern in a dark alley, There's a half-dead bloody body lying here. He was pierced by swords, and his clothes turned ruby red. Now he’s barely breathing, but he’s still not dead. He was trying to brush off the light at the end, He could just give up, but: "No, not now, I just can't." And as if hearing this thought on the last and dark bridge, A shadow appeared and said, "Tell me your last wish." [Verse 2] I am not the devil, don't be afraid of me, I don't need to buy your soul for eternity. I'm just fulfilling the will of Lord Revius, The god of second chances, and now this chance is yours. In return, I only ask for your name, your skills, Your face, your soul for a while, your memories, To fulfill your dying wish and make you feel Like you're doing everything yourself, every thing. [Pre-chorus] And when this wish of yours is fulfilled! I will return your soul to you! But I'll keep the rest for my future needs, For those who will need me too... [Chorus] My name is Dairo, as far as I know. They call me the Raven Chameleon. Just tell me your name and wish with your soul, And you'll see what we'll become. We will become one for a short time, my friend. But your breathing will not stop at all. We'll fulfill your wish, final journey'll find its end, And your soul will leave this world. [Verse 3] And that man, lying in a pool of blood and mud, Was not going to trust this deal, but then he thought. There is no time! Those who wanted to take his life Were also going to get to his children and wife. "Rover Reed" - he said softly in a hoarse voice. Death is near anyway, he doesn't have a choice. And shadow hands reached for his chest and forehead, One moment and he looks at his body. It's dead. [Pre-chorus] And a sudden pain shot through his brain! Strange images of distant days! So many lives and deaths, many wishes and names. And Rover thought: "WHO ARE YOUUU?" [Chorus] Our name is Dairo, as far as we know. They call us the Raven Chameleon. You told me your name and made wish with your soul, So now we have become one. We need to save our children and our wife, You can use the skills of our past lives. After all, we just do not have much time. Use the portal runes of Kai. [Verse 4] [flute] Responding to this thought, his hand suddenly changed. And the portal was created by someone else's hand. It was covered with runes, and they entered, The terrified wife and children stood in front of them. But then they saw Rover's face and instantly calmed down, And Rover told them to hide until one thing was done. So they did, and Rover went to meet the uninvited guests. And for that in Rover's soul, Dairo was blessed. [Pre-chorus] And three of them rode up on horseback The fourth kept up with them on foot And calm Rover met them on his doorstep. They shouted in fright: "WHO ARE YOUUU?" [Chorus] My name is Rover, and you should have known They call me Rover the unkillable. Advise you to leave, save your worthless souls. I could haunt you, but I won't. And they were afraid of the ghost in front of them. And they left this place in two seconds or three. Rover returned to the house, called his family. He hugged them and said "The wish is fulfilled..." [Outro] And a bright light illuminated the Rover's body. And the ray from it rushed to the sky. When the light went out, the man turned around, And he said "I am really sorry, thanks, goodbye..." He went down the road in the guise of Rover, Gloomily looking at his slightly changed hand. His redemption to Revius is far from over: There, 309 turned into 308... [Flute outro] [End]
