Lyv - The Ballad of Smoldering Embers [A Baldur's Gate 3/Karlach Fan Song]

Hello again! Just like a lot of you, I've really fallen in love with Baldur's Gate 3 over the past years. And I've wanted to get a project going based on the game(s) for a long while. One of those is finally here!

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy, as i certainly loved making this one! I'm planning to do more of them, and basically make something in the style I think fits the particular companion! With Karlach's little dance, of course I had to make it a jaunty tune (:

Lyrics:
Our fiery friend
The life of the party
Tell all the devils to cut and run!

She'll put an end to
Zariel's army
Tell all the villains the jig is up!

Come home
To tombstones
Loving and living
it isn't the same

Hard-fought
and Hells-wrought
But who will
remember her name?

A furious foe
With a heart for an engine
Tell all the blaggards to call it a day

Prone to heroics
And did I mention
Don't you come close or she'll set you ablaze!

Alone
For so long
Lacking, but longing
For someone to hold

Flames drowned
Or hells-bound
Will it be as the fates have foretold?

Hey, ho, lo and behold
Strong as a dragon, and nearly as tall
Ho, hey to Cliffgate!
Our one-horned hero, our glasses we'll raise!

Hey, ho, look at her go
Kills the devil you know and the devils you don't!
Ho, hey, to Cliffgate!
And her heart is as warm as the metal it's made of!

So then what does she want?
Return to Avernus?
Tells all her friends that she'll never go back

Her engine's too hot
To remain on the surface
Fight at her side until Zariel's dead!

Call on
Companions
To bring down the devil
that torments her so

We descend
But Hells-bent
On getting her safely back home

All the friends that she's made
and the ones she's grown close with
Tell all the scoundrels pack up their things

She'll teach you a lesson
Before you know
if there's smoke, there is fire, and fire will singe

Well-known
A hero
A saviour of cities
Who's sated by souls

Draws ire
in Hells-fire
But there's none that she cannot control

Hey, ho, lo and behold
Strong as a dragon, and nearly as tall
Ho, hey to Cliffgate!
Our one-horned hero, our glasses we'll raise!

Hey, ho, look at her go
Kills the devil you know and the devils you don't!
Ho, hey, to Cliffgate!
And her heart is as warm as the metal it's made of!

Time well-spent
with friends
Awaiting
When her engine's
abdicating
Life goes on
She'll be remembered
Ballad of the Smol'dring embers

Hey, ho, lo and behold
Strong as a dragon, and nearly as tall
Ho, hey to Cliffgate!
Our one-horned hero, our glasses we'll raise!

Hey, ho, look at her go
Kills the devil you know and the devils you don't!
Ho, hey, to Cliffgate!
And her heart is as warm as the metal it's made of!
