Raistlin's Song

by Raistlin's Soul

Tune and lyrics taken from the song "The Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring. It dipicts the life of Raistlin as a child and after the distruction of Solace.

When we were young the future was so dark
The kids of the neighborhood were so evil
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna torture me and make it big

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
Burned by the dragons to that I have sworn
How can one little town
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what could have been
Still it's hard
Hard to see
hated lives, shattered dreams

Jagis had a chance, well he really did
Instead he got burnt up to a crisp
Marcus stays at home, he's got dragonfear
Just plays the lute and smokes a lot

Otin committed suicide
Brandon fought but died
What the hell is going on
The happiest dream, reality
