Pern filk: Threadfall

[ljlee]

So after tormenting Google Translate into making (rather awesome) gibberish of the Skyfall lyrics, I got what seemed like an obvious idea--a Skyfall filk set in the Dragonriders of Pern universe, titled "Threadfall." I couldn't find anything along these lines other than a fanfic or RP whose title used the parallel, so I wrote one while waiting for a plane to take me home.

Threadfall

- For the Dragonriders of Pern, to the tune of Adele's Skyfall

Now it begins
Death is in the sky again
Hold your breath and dive between
Burn the air until it's clean

Yes, it begins
I've feared and dreamt this moment
The terror real and constant
You save me from their torment

Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will fly far
Face it all together

Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Threadfall

At Threadfall

Threadfall is where we start
A hundred leagues and Holds apart
Where the world is gone and all is dark
You may suffer you may lose your light
But you'll always have my heart

Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will fly far
Face it all together

Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Threadfall

(Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will fly far)

(Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will stand tall)

Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving soul
That keeps me from the cold
Spread your wings 'cross the sky
And we'll fly

Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will fly far
Face it all together

Let the Thread fall
From the Red Star
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Threadfall

Let the Thread fall
We will stand tall
At Threadfall
