What if King Magnifico sang "Evil" by Melanie Martinez?
I've always seen these online, but I've never seen one where a character covered a real-life musician's song. I wanted to try my hand at it while thinking about "Wish" and listening to "Evil." I found Melanie's vocals and the production very inspiring, though I obviously changed the lyrics to fit the circumstances. Lemme know what you think! I tried to match the syllables.
Wish ceremonies make you all adore and cheer,
Even though we did it fourteen times this year
And it makes me groan, when you cry and moan.
Now I'm walking over eggshells, watch the mess
In my mind; it's in shambles, don't make me stressed
All you care about is wishes. Take a rest.
I'm so sick of this!
Aren't you tired of this? Let me keep my wits.
See the glow of my eyes? That's what magic is.
The ungratefulness, I'm spent.
No! I always knew what it meant
What it meant to make your dreams come true
Everything I have lost, at all costs
I must protect it for you
Say I'm just paranoid, it's in my head
Whenever I spoke my truth
No, I'm not granting any more wishes,
This time, I refuse.
If you bite my hand again,
I will never feed you. Why's that make me evil?
Took away the dangerous thoughts in your mind
Instead of allegiance, I just get a grievance
Took me so much time to make it this far.
Saving Rosas' people, does that make me evil, evil?
Evil, evil, evil
Compassion never was given to me
Even when I begged them to let us be.
I was just three, but it stuck with me.
But you can't sympathize 'cause you have no cares
Asha, don't tell me your simple life isn't fair
I'm not old; the trauma just took years off my hair
Wish I didn't care, wish I was never there
Wish you weren't codependent, 'cause I need some air
From all the wear and tear.
No! I always knew what it meant
What it meant to make your dreams come true
Everything I have lost, at all costs
I must protect it for you
Say I'm just paranoid, it's in my head
Whenever I spoke my truth
No, I'm not granting any more wishes,
This time, I refuse.
If you bite my hand again,
I will never feed you. How's that make me evil?
Took away the dangerous thoughts in your mind
Instead of allegiance, I just get a grievance
Took me so much time to make it this far.
Saving Rosas' people, does that make me evil, evil?
Evil, evil, evil
Wanna bite my hand again?
Maybe I'll just leave you. Go 'head, call me evil
But I can't just bring myself to walk away
If I am defeated, history's repeated.
Took me way too long to make it this far,
I'm saving the feeble, how's that make me evil, evil?
Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil
I tried to be peaceful, but somehow that's evil.
This is my first time, so any criticism I expect to be CONSTRUCTIVE. BTW, I just googled the lyrics and formed them from what popped up; this is via Lyricfind.
Well may the world go,
The world go, the world go,
Well may the world go,
When I'm far away.
Well may the skiers turn,
The swimmers churn, the lovers burn
Peace, may the generals learn
When I'm far away.
Sweet may the fiddle sound
The banjo play the old hoe down
Dancers swing round and round
When I'm far away.
Fresh may the breezes blow
Clear may the streams flow
Blue above, green below
When I'm far away.
Well may the world go,
The world go, the world go,
Well may the world go,
When I'm far away.

I am PRO ELRIEL!!! But when I heard this the other day, it made me think of Elain’s perspective from the BC. Once she knows about Rhys-face, he will ask her to stay.
Say Don't Go (Taylor's Version)
By Taylor Swift
I've known it from the very start
We're a shot in the darkest dark
Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
The waiting is a sadness
Fading into madness
Oh no, oh no, it won't stop
I'm standin' on a tightrope alone
I hold my breath a little bit longer
Halfway out the door, but it won't close
I'm holdin' out hope for you to
Say, "Don't go"
I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"
Why'd you have to lead me on?
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
Why'd you whisper in the dark?
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
go"
I would stay forever if you (say) say, "(don't) don't (go) go"
(Say, say, say, say)
Now I'm pacin' on shaky ground
Strike a match, then you blow it out
Oh no, oh no, it's not fair
'Cause you kiss me and it stops time
And I'm yours, but you're not mine
Oh no, oh no, you're not there
I'm standin' on the sidewalk alone
I wait for you to drive by
I'm tryna see the cards that you won't show - FUCKING Rhys!!!!
I'm about to fold unless you
go"
I would stay forever if you (say) say, "(don't) don't (go) go"
Why'd you have to lead me on?
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
Why'd you whisper in the dark?
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
go"
I would stay forever if you (say) say, "(don't) don't (go) go, " whoa
(Say, say, say, say)
Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)
Make me want you (make me want you)?
Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)
Give me nothin' back?
Why'd you have to (why'd you have to)
Make me love you (make me love you)?
I said, "I love you" (I said, "I love you")
You say nothin' back
Why'd you have to lead me on? (Oh)
Why'd you have to twist the knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
Why'd you whisper in the dark
Just to leave me in the night?
Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
go"
I would stay forever if you (say) say, "(don't) don't (go) go, " whoa
(Say, say, say, say)
But you won't, but you won't, but you won't
I would stay forever if you say, "don't go"
But you won't, but you won't, but you won't
