If Sabaton made songs about Thunderbolt · 1:05am Feb 10th, 2017
Hey folks...
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm starting work on the next Firefly chapter this weekend. Currently, I'm alternating chapters of it with Five Star Service and will continue to do so until the latter is complete in two more chapters. And after that? Will alternate between Firefly and The Lawyer and the Unicorn.
Probably be another week before the next chapter is ready. But in the meantime... a special treat. Some of you may have heard the Sabaton song To Hell and Back, which is about Audie Murphy, one of the most decorated American soldiers of WWII... and one who suffered from severe PTSD afterwards. For that reason, he and the song remind me of Thunderbolt, and thus I've written alternate lyrics for the song to make it about him. So read and sing along, and you'll get some hints as to what's in store for our favorite future Bolt Knight... oh yes, and he'll be appearing one last time before the outbreak of war in either the next chapter or the one after. So without further ado...
A stallion Lieutenant
A soldier so strong
Defending a village
When all went so wrong
Grief turns to rage
And a demon takes hold
Both tragic and triumph
His story is told
Flight
A Bolt Knight
If there be
Salvation in war
Let it come
To those like him
Who knew he would never come back
Gravestones grew on IS-2
Where his force couldn't fight
And all died in his sight
Through Phoenix Fire
On vengeance' pyre
In Altair and Rial
The Lucavi did fall
His warrior soul wounded
His friends still he mourned
But his city was threatened
And his demon reborn
Slew all attackers
Saved all he could
Defender of Harmony
Cloudsdale still stood
Might
A Bolt Knight
If there be
Any glory in war
It belongs
To those like him
Who fought knowing he could not win
His friends were slew at IS-2
Where betrayal and lies
Meant those he loved dies
When death did wait
Did not hesitate
Bought time for his friends
Now his spirit ascends
So listen closely
As whose life we now review
A stallion
Whose love and faith were true
And from the Inland Shores
Where his thunder still roars
His courage ensures
That Equestria endures
His plaque sits well where his friends once fell
When the fighting did cease
He at least found his peace
His demons slain
He no longer knows pain
He launched an attack
Knowing he'd never come back!
That's freaking METAL bro! \m/ \m/
