Leafiara (prime)/Melodies/Elidal (Leafiara version)

How it upsets me to see us this way
Fighting a war not our own
All of it wrought by a baron to be
Who's not even yet on his throne
He's brought endless death upon our small town
And suckered our mayor with charm
We fight to survive, but our wins leave us down
Since he's going to keep causing harm

No one's slick as Elidal
Changes quick as Elidal
Begs as much adulation for his tricks as Elidal
There's nobody so two-faced--it's frightening
Just how has he lived to this day?
Wholly dense and immune to enlightening
Since his skull is so thick that it can't be explained

No one sways like Elidal
Or evades like Elidal
Ignores every word that's not praise like Elidal
He's a narcissist always interpolating
It's the rule of that fool Elidal

Let's hear those jeers!
Who's the source of our pain?
Elidal's the one 'cause he's scum with no brain!

No one's unskilled like Elidal
Gets folks killed like Elidal
Makes the suffering people rebuild like Elidal
He's so thoughtless and careless and callous
He'll claim serving his ends is our prize
Justify that he bears no one malice
While the corpses and wreckage just keep piling high!

No one's set like Elidal
No regrets like Elidal
Riles up every long dormant threat like Elidal
He's especially good at annihilating
Ten deaths a day for Elidal!

When he was a lad, he smooth-talked all his town
Every morning to make his coffers large
But now people lay both their coins and lives down
When he orders his subjects to charge

No one smirks like Elidal
Duties shirked like Elidal
Steals all credit for others' hard work like Elidal
When there's conflict, he's always exacerbating

I'll say it again
He's the death of his men
And I'll say it once more
He stirs up endless war
We know who, some won't say,
But it's true either way
There's just one who's everybody's downfall
He's the rarest of breeds, greatest failure I've seen
And his name is...

E, L, I, D, A, L...

Elidal!
