I Will Survive
(performed by Raistlin Majere as an ode to that soul stealing ne'er-do-well, Fistindantilus)
based on the song by the same name performed by Gloria Gayner
At first I was good
although I wasn't kind
Kept thinking I could save the world
if I truly tried
But then I took the tower's test
and I so completely bombed
I made a deal
Didn't think you'ld do me wrong.
And now your back
from time and space
You just slid right into my mind
and now you control the place
I should have never made that deal
I should've turned an hourglass eye
If I had known for just one second
all your planning starts with me
But here I go, my body sore
black I adorn now
'cuz I'm not innocent anymore
weren't you the one who promised power evermore
and then you chuckled
I should kiss my free will goodbye
Oh no, not I
I will survive
just as long as I've the will to live
I know I will survive
I've got all the time to plot
I've got all the time to stew
and I'll get you
Oh I'll get you
HA HA!
It took all my will to live
not to come apart
I feel the power in the pieces
of my broken art
and I spent oh so many nights
trying hard to conquer Krynn
to be a god
and it got me stuck in the Abyss
now here I am
granted reprieve
you lost your hold upon my soul
and now I'm leaving you
and so you tempted me to doom
And I stood up rejecting you
and now your chained up down in hell
and my spirits finally free
And here I go, my body soars
I feel good again
That bitter mage is no more
I still saved all those who were dearest to my heart
And I'm a legend
And I've fulfilled my part
I say goodbye
I did survive
despite all the worst you had
I knew I would still survive
I've got all my friends to cheer
And not a single to fear
and I survived
Yes, I survived
OH!
And here I go, my body soars
I feel good again
That bitter mage is no more
I still saved all those who were dearest to my heart
And I'm a legend
And I've fulfilled my part
I say goodbye
I did survive
despite all the worst you had
I knew I would still survive
I've got all my friends to cheer
And not a single to fear
and I survived
Yes, I survived
