Welcome to Gaia! ::

Every Good Buck was back, with an anxious-looking purple zikwa in tow. "Hello," she said. "This is We Break - don't mind him. I needed a backup singer. This song is from the point of view of the winter's biggest storm, who waits until winter's nearly gone to devastate the swamp." It probably sounded very pretentious, but - well, Every Good Buck was the definition of pretentious.

There were a few moments, some rhythmic hoof-tapping, and then she began to sing.
EVERY GOOD BUCK
Matope sings me a song every day.
I'm keeping my cloud cool while the west wind is away.
She's on the colder side of autumn.
She's tryin' to keep the swamp flora in line.
She can wait all through autumn.
All the glory, it's mine.

Kin never discriminate
between the snowstorms
and the rains.

WE BREAK
"They take and they take and they take,
and we keep suff'ring anyway.
We laugh and we cry
and we break
and we make our mistakes..."

EVERY GOOD BUCK
...And if there's a reason I'm in the skies
when I could be a blight,
then I'm willing to wait for it.
I'm willing to wait for it.

My grandfather killed a young and hardy creature,

EVERY GOOD BUCK
But there are times that even the strongest of winds won't reach ya.

WE BREAK (interjected)
Reach ya
Reach ya
Reach ya

EVERY GOOD BUCK
My mother was a blizzard

Blizzard

EVERY GOOD BUCK
My father commanded respect.

WE BREAK (interjected)
Respect

EVERY GOOD BUCK
When they ravaged, they left no survivors.
Just a legacy to protect.
Kin never discriminate
Between the snowstorms and the rains,
they cry and they cry and they cry
and we keep hitting anyway.
We rage and we all
watch you quake
and we make your bones ache.
And if there's a reason you've yet to die
when the blizzards, who've sieged you, have tried
I'm willing to wait for it.
I'm willing to wait for it.
Wait for it.

WE BREAK
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it

EVERY GOOD BUCK
I am the one thing in life I can control

WE BREAK
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it

EVERY GOOD BUCK
I am inimitable
I am an original

WE BREAK
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it

EVERY GOOD BUCK
I'm not falling behind or running late

WE BREAK
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it

EVERY GOOD BUCK
I'm not standing still,
I am lying in wait

WE BREAK
Wait
Wait
Wait
