March On
"Who so touches a hair on yon grey head
Dines like a king! March on!" he said.
"And kill them all!"
Scorched earth, torched homes,
Empty temples, toppled thrones
Of ancient scions.
March on!
Blood, burning, Babylon,
Babies, bodies, buried on
The tears of Zion.
March on!
Fire, fucking, fury, rape.
Are we gods or are we apes
In our dominion?
March on!
Battles, banners, knaves and fools,
Carrion for the crows and wolves,
A feast of minions.
March on!
The God of Wrath, Deus Irae,
Calls out commands, has this to say:
March on! March on!
You dogs of war.
March on! March on!

As the prince's whipping boy.
O, I would not bring that pain to you
With the anger from my lips,
Though I

So I wrote a musical. Actually I redrafted a musical I wrote a couple of years back, sorting out some of the problems with the second Act, which I was never entirely happy with. And spent a stupid amount of time arsing about with GarageBand to create approximations of the actual music -- with greater or lesser success. If ye were right quick off the mark in downloading the PDF of the libretto, ye'll find the comment on the deviation has been updated with a link to the MP3s that go with it. Just so's ye know.
Thank you for the fave ööö... We are so very happy that you found our random drawing (done in the middle of the night) Regards from Finland, still reading Ink's finnish translation. <3 MeanChildIiGoodChild and ReCentXIII
So, If I could tag you in a picture I would, but I can't so I just thought it'd be cool if you looked at my last deviation. It has to do with you're writing
Oh shit! Um... Dearest thanks for the favorite! Consider this one here being truely baffled.
Don't quite know what to say. I adore Vellum and are planning to buy and read the following books as well. The stories and characters really inspire me. I just love how I can get completely lost in this strange, chaotic and beautiful world, just by reading your words.
Well, you just keep pushing out those books! You're bloody amazing.
