Lotus on the Lake
by Tom 'the Fanboy' Munkres
based on Candle in the Wind by Elton John

This is dedicated to the Exalted player characters that didn't make it to the end of the campaign.

Goodbye Talyn, dear
Though your only family was slaves
You had the strength to resist that life
Not just sit there and behave
And any time you would work
You used it as chance to learn and train
And when you finally broke out
You exalted and claimed your name

chorus
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a lotus on the lake
Never knowing where you'd float to
In the barge's wake
And I would have liked to have saved you
But nobody could
You passed on to Lethe long before
A Solar ever should

Motherhood was tough
Even with assistance from Five Days
You two created a Golden Child
And went to battle while he played
Even when you died
From twists of Fate and martial arts
All the Dynasts had to say
One dead anathema, a good start

[repeat chorus]
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a lotus on the lake
Never knowing where you'd float to
In the barge's wake
And I would have liked to have saved you
But nobody could
You passed on to Lethe long before
A Solar ever should

Goodbye Broken, dear
Though I never learned your family name
You had the guts to defy us all
and died a hero just the same

Goodbye Kianto Linh
From every kid and soldier death has missed
Who don't see you as anathema
More than Night caste, Red Mantis

[repeat chorus]
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a lotus on the lake
Never knowing where you'd float to
In the barge's wake
And I would have liked to have saved you
But nobody could
You passed on to Lethe long before
A Solar ever should
