Another ATLA-inspired original? Your wish is my command. I wasn’t expecting to get another song done so soon, but the melody and lyrics for this one just flowed out one night, so now I’m super excited to share it with you! ♥

Shifting gears from Yue’s docile and delicate character, this is a piece inspired by everyone’s favorite Fire Nation Princess… Azula, to me, is arguably one of the most fascinating characters ever, and this song is kind of a tribute to that. 

It was inspired by her struggle for control and the decline of her character to the point of her breakdown. At the end of the day, she’s really just a kid who grew up genuinely believing that instilling fear was the only reliable way to connect to her friends and family… What’s more tragic than that?

In any case, as with my previous piece, I think this one can stand on its own despite the clear connection to Azula’s character, so whether you’re listening because you’re a fan of ATLA or not, I really hope you enjoy it — let me know what you think!

_{“Soldier’s Dance” // Adriana Figueroa (tinysaurus)}

_{Love is patient, love is kind
Love will make you lose your mind
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
But do you want to go insane?}

_{All I want to do is win
So tell me, is that such a sin?
If you let go of control
Then it will overtake your soul}

_{There’s a beauty in fear
It is much more sincere
So transparent and clear
There’s no lie}

_{So I’ll do it my way
You won’t lead me astray
When the night turns to day
I will rise}

_{I’m a soldier through and through
Yes, I do what I have to do
I am anything but weak
The thunder trembles when I speak}

_{All I want is to be great
So tell me, what is there to hate?
Fire and fire will collide
I will not let you break my pride}

_{There’s a beauty in fear
It is much more sincere
So transparent and clear
There’s no lie}

_{So I’ll do it my way
You won’t lead me astray
When the night turns to day
I will rise}

_{I am broken I am lost
Oh, was it really worth the cost?
Stood too closely to the flames
And now I’ll never be the same}

(As with my last original, this piece is also available for purchase on Bandcamp for those of you who would like to support the music! Let me know if you download it, so I can properly thank you!! And a huge thanks to everyone who bought the last song, as well — you are seriously wonderful! ♥)

HEY GUYS, SO THE VOICE OF ZUKO/IROH II APPARENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED MY MUSIC AND EXISTENCE AND THANKED ME BY MY NAME. …I’m just gonna sit over here in my corner and be ridiculously excited for a bit, is that okay?!

Super huge thanks to janerrp for both linking Dante to my Iroh parody and letting me know that he saw it — you’re the BEST!! ♥ :)

I’M REALLY ENJOYING WATCHING EVERYONE FANGIRL OVER IROH LATELY… so I’m just going to leave this here for you guys. I thought it would be kind of appropriate — I mean, could there have been a better song to do this to?! …IT NEEDS TO BE FINALE DAY NOW — THAT IS ALL. ♥

_{With Fire Nation amber eyes and dapper raven hair
There’s nothing we can do
But sit in awe and stare}

_{Darling, you’re everything
We all hoped and thought that you would be
We’re so glad you’re here and finally
You’ll bring honor to us all}
