twelve ♓ video;
[Feferi clears her throat, when the feed comes on. And she's grinning. The other noticeable thing about her? Her hair. She wears flowers in it pretty often, but now, the green leaves of the multicolored blossoms are more prominent than the actual flowers.]
I'm Feferi Peixes, and it's sing-along time, Tower. This one's straight from the files of protest songs that my ancestor - some of you remember the Condesce - well, she had a bunch of songs banned. Her heiresses were expected to know them, so they could have anyone singing them killed.
I think it's time to break that rule entirely.
[She clears her throat. Anyone who is at all familiar with musicals? You'll recognize the tune of 'Do You Hear the People Sing'. It crossed worlds.]
Do you hear the sufferers sing?
Singing the songs of angry men
It is a music of a race that won't be
Beaten down again
When the blood rushing through your veins
Echoes the honking of the horns
You'll know there's an end to all the pain
Come tomorrow morn
[No. Feferi pauses. The words...they need changing.]
I'm sorry. Let me just...this is gonna be off the cuff from now on, forgive me. But I can't just sing the version the Condesce banned. It's not right.
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
When all this glamour fades, is there a world you've longed to see?
Then join in the fight that will give us the right to be free!
Do you hear this Tower sing?
Singing a song that's writ in green
It is a music of a people
Stronger than you've ever seen
When the beating of your heart
Starts to be more than you can take
Show them you're strong, and play your part
I know you won't break!
Will you give all you can give,
So that the admins can't advance?
If we fall, or cry? We'll live -
it's up to you to take your chance!
Our blood, sweat, and tears will bring forth our resolve - that's our stance!
Do you hear this Tower sing?
Singing a song that's writ in green
It is a music of a people
Stronger than you've ever seen
When the beating of your heart
Starts to be more than you can take
Show them you're strong, and play your part
I know you won't break!
...for Sayaka. For everyone who's left this place. And for us.

And other people are singing it too. Looks like everyone likes it.

Re: video
I just wish it could be on guitar. That would make it even more badass.

Well, a friend of mine's talking about doing a remix. I don't see why there can't be more than one.
