Filked to the Indigo Girl’s “Galileo.” Original words and music by Emily Saliers. All characters mentioned belong to their rightful owners, I didn’t create any of them and am receiving no monies for this work. Without further ado, I give you:
“Galileo...in Obsidian”
“Now you know I think
her work, above all, rocks
No crime in speaking
just the truth.
And as the handling of
my favorite char’ astounds,
I think it rates a
filk or two.
So I got to thinking
‘bout reincarnation
After reading “Road Beers” the other night
And how
Brook’s serving time for mistakes made by another
In another
lifetime
How long till his soul
gets respite?
Shouldn’t he get to a chance to have a peaceful night?
Cast
as the wandering soul of the champion eternal-
Who never gets
to
Live a life in
quiet.
And when I think about
her Multiverse’s notion
It really hurts my brain
That our favorite garg,
across time’s ocean years from now
came back as a whiny seeker
‘plane?
Brooklyn’s got the
Clone Wars to fight
Will he pardon his
father for not helping with his plight?
Forgive the half-demon soul of
Caligo
Sworn to
Balance;
No taking sides
(I'm not making a
joke, you know me I take fic writing pretty seriously
If I sit in starlight,
wish I may, wish I might...
Maybe Cyrway will return and finish writing her
Gargs saga in my lifetime...
Hey, I can hope, right?)
*bridge*
I offer thanks to Whit
and Stormy,
and other writers
unnamed
’Cause you guys make the archive worth reading
Your worlds we’ll
always praise.
But best of all I love that Moorcock-based incarnation
And
how he’s never off the hook...
She said:
“I know I promised you’d be Hawkwind in
you next life-
Sorry I lied there, Brook...”
How long till his soul
gets respite?
No champion deserves
this kind of torture, right?
(Except for Starscream,
yo-
He gets on my nerves
so
I’d say he warrants it,
Just out of spite.)
And now Cyrway’s come
back to write
How long she’ll stay
is anyone’s surmise
Oh, when she’ll
go
Back to Artemis’s
role
I love a series
where
No ends in
sight.
How long (till his
soul gets respite)
How long (will she
stay and write)
How
long...”
