Songs written by Herman Lasichin

[Herman Lasichin]

This is a thread to hold different songs I wrote themed around the Vulpine Imperium and the world it is in. Some of them exist within the setting since my characters sung them, others haven't been mentioned yet, others are in a gray area where I didn't make it quite clear. Either way, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

The rightsbeast kit

A song that would have been sung by a Rightsbeast to one of their naughty kits, although perhaps other families would do the same.

Threads mentioned: none.

Text:

Your fur is curly and blood red.

Your eyes are dark as lead.

Your ears are flat and creased,

Unlike of any other beast.

Because you're a Rightsbeast kit,

That's how Vulpuz made it.

When it's good, and when it's ill,

I will love you still.

I can't bare the pain I hear,

when your words make it clear.

They didn't know what you meant,

Why your snout looks so bent.

Because you're my Rightsbeast kit,

That's how Vulpuz wants it.

From the kitbed until hellgates,

That's how it will stay.

You were never like the rest,

You plotted, schemed and messed.

You were frozen under their glare,

Oh whatever happened there?

Still you are our Rightsbeast kit,

That's how it was fated.

It's not easy, that's true.

But you'll find a way and pull through.

Because you're a Rightsbeast kit,

You know good, if only a bit.

Find a nice thought and keep it,

and let it put you to sleep.

Run! Run! Irene run!

A happy song for the winter season, when it's time to play in the snow and have fun. "Irene" is a reference to Irene Rightsbeast, but I always imagined the name could be replaced with any other one, like the happy birthday song.

Run! Run! Irene run! Come on out to play!
All dibbuns will be merry on this snowy winter day!

Don't you fear to slip and fall when you have a paw to hold!
Everyone is merrier when there are more, hey!

No kit fears the snow or ice, frost winds or the cold,
You are no lizard or a chicken, that's what your fur is for, hey!

There is a land

A song written by the kits of those who fled from the imperium. Herman Lasichin is one of many of beasts who were gripped by the wish to return to the Vulpine Imperium, and this song became somewhat of an anthem for them. It also had the tendency to bring them into trouble, like the time Herman sang it in the most awkward time in the mess hall, before his...friend? Ally? Colleague? Whatever is going on between Herman and Griblo, it might have soured just a little because Herman didn't let him sing about his ferret journal.

Text:

My ma and pa had to leave in seventeen thirty three,
They sailed to the east with many a beast to a better place to be.
But when I was a tiny thing that could fit in their palm,
they told me of bully and amerone, of the place where I am from!

There is my land far across the sea, It's so!
And ever since I was a kit, that was where I yearned to go, to go!
There is a land far away where we weren't for too long, too long!
There is an empire there, where vermin like us belong, be long!
Vulpine imperium, forever stay free!
Be an abode for my dearest and me
