05 April 2023: Roger Zelazny Poetry Month: Lord of Light Rap

 Prompt: Write a rap song about Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light


Verse 1:

Listen up, y'all, I got a tale to tell

'Bout a man named Zelazny, and his Lord of Light spell

Set in a world where gods are real and power's the prize

Where men and women strive to live beyond their demise


Chorus:

Lord of Light, shine on me

Guide my path, set my soul free

From the darkness, let me see

Lord of Light, come rescue me


Verse 2:

Sam is the hero, a rebel with a cause

Fighting against the gods, breaking their laws

With his crew of renegades, he'll stop at nothing

To bring down their tyrannical rule and end their bluffing


Chorus:

Lord of Light, shine on me

Guide my path, set my soul free

From the darkness, let me see

Lord of Light, come rescue me


Verse 3:

The gods are powerful, but they're not invincible

Sam's got a plan, and it's downright convincing

He'll use their own powers against them, and watch them fall

Breaking free from their grip, he'll conquer them all


Chorus:

Lord of Light, shine on me

Guide my path, set my soul free

From the darkness, let me see

Lord of Light, come rescue me


Verse 4:

Zelazny's world is a wild and wondrous place

Full of magic and mystery, and an endless race

To unlock the secrets of the universe and beyond

Lord of Light, guide us on, and let us respond


Chorus:

Lord of Light, shine on me

Guide my path, set my soul free

From the darkness, let me see

Lord of Light, come rescue me


Outro:

So that's the story, folks, of Zelazny's Lord of Light

A tale of triumph over evil, and a world that's bright

Let its message guide you, and let its magic ignite

The power of your soul, and your will to fight.
