VID: Blood in the Water (Uther, incidental MxA), Merlin BBC
Title: "Blood in the Water"
Music Title: "Don't Drink the Water"
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Creator: sarcasticchick
Characters/Pairing: Uther (focus), Arthur/Merlin (implied)
Spoilers: All Merlin (BBC) epis
Format: IMEEM, wmv
Size: d/l - 23.37MB
Length: 6:50
Summary: A look at Uther's choices - from the Purge into the future and how the consequences of his actions to eradicate magic (as a just King) and the magical from Camelot affects all he holds dear.
"Don't drink the water" was an idea from back during the time of the United States being colonized that there was so much blood in the water from all the fighting/killing of native Americans, that the water was unfit to drink.
Beta/Fluffers: Major thanks and kudos to paraka for the beta, and to lilithilien and cs_whitewolf for the cheerleading.
Media Sources: All Merlin epis, Merlin (movie), The Mists of Avalon, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, CSI:NY (one epi, and yes, seriously, I used a CSI:NY clip)
A/N:
1. All external source vids are used for generic magic/time period purposes and not as fusions of like-subjects.
2. Some Merlin (BBC) content taken out of context for purposes of implications of the future in the 'verse.
3. This has been a labor of love. I am totally not telling how long this has been in the works - from concept to production - cause it's a pathetic looooooong amount of time, but I'm just going to sum it up by saying lilithilien, you may have been right to say that a first vid should not be 7min long ;)
4. I don't know if I am ever vidding again after this. :) All the same - as this is the first vid I've ever done, concrit is accepted and appreciated. Altho some "dude, DMB is *awesome*" would be appreciated too. ;)
5. Lastly (cause every A/N needs 5 points!)...I made the Great Slash Dragon freakin yodel-chant. I win. ;)
MU: D/L HERE. It's a fairly small size, if a larger (like 640x480) size is preferred, just let me know in the comments and I'll get it up'd tomorrow.
IMEEM: update; it's up!
Blood in the Water - sarcasticchick
Don't Drink the Water
Dont drink the water here.
Come out, come out, no use in hiding
Come now, come now, can you not see?
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away, away you have been banished
Your land is gone and given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's that you say?
You feel the right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say?
Your father's spirit still lives in this place,
Well I will silence you
Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving,
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you, my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
But I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And I can sleep more soundly
Upon these pour souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
And I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
Oh I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feeding
And I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
Oh I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
Blood in the water
You'll all be dead.
