Lyrics
In Murandy
I was born and raised, chose peddling as my trade. Tellin'
All that I gleaned
To the farmers circling my wagon in a ring listenin'
I guaranteed
My importance would grow, joined the Shadow at the Bore
For my immortality, I did long
But the price I paid
Ba'alzamon wreaked havoc in my brain
Turned into a product of this Age
Made for hunting down the Great Lord's prey
'Til I spent the night in Shadar Logoth
Now I'm unnatural
A body with two souls
Much more than a Darkfriend
Mashadar lives within
Yeah, I'm unnatural
Deceit spreads from my core
Change love into abhor
Yeah, I'm unnatural
I stole away
From a Fal Dara cell, took the Horn with me as well. Travelled
With Shadowspawn
Nailed a Myrddraal to a door just so I could see the gore. Then led
Those boys to Falme
Lost my dagger in the fray; I retrieved it locked away by the
Famed Aes Sedai in Tar Valon
There's a price to pay
Those boys make me hunt them night and day
Sent the Whitecloaks to flush out my prey
Led Elaida even more astray
Got the Dragon Reborn boxed up
'Cause I'm unnatural
A body with merged souls
Scared away Machin Shin
From all this hate within
Yeah, I'm unnatural
Living to slit your throat
Gonna kill Rand al'Thor
Yeah, I'm unnatural
Deep inside me, my humanity is fading
Took an oath, swore my soul to Shai'tan, can't break it
Ancient spirit haunts me inside my own head
Fain won't make it
But Mordeth will make it
Unnatural
Instantly kill Myrddraal
Hold Trollocs in my thrall
Ghosts appear when I call
Yeah, I'm unnatural
Gonna kill all my foes
Until all life grows cold
Yeah, I'm unnatural
Unnatural
Yeah, I'm unnatural

"Got the Dragon Reborn boxed up 'cause I'm unnatural" in combination with the music is one of my favourite WoT Parody parts ever! Amazing work😁

@@Temaile I am just as surprised 😂 Although, I did always find Fain the most compelling villian. Just pure chaos by the end.
Been listening to this on repeat for a while now and it just gets better. Stellar, incredible, peak WoT parody! Thanks for letting me be a small part of it!

@@LezbiNerdy Same! I feel like I barely grasped each parody, my attention was pulled in so many directions! But even with only partial attention I could tell that Stop Me was 🔥 That second half with the face off with Lanfear 👀 I can't wait to really dig into your lyrics! And the video 😱😍
This really should have won. It did win, but it also should have won. 😁
