This is a song about a whale. NO. This is a song about being Eridan.
An Eridan Ampora fansong. I recorded this with a sore throat so maybe iâm nuts for posting it, but I sorta liked the outcome even if it isnât perfect. :)

I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hipÂ
and I have a friend I pity quite a bitÂ
she said âgrab your gun letâs have some fun, share with me your perigeesÂ
I have responsibilities, I cannot run!â
âI do not wish the death of any living thing, I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen and put an end to slaughter, but until then Iâm keen on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.â
I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rulesÂ
but when have angels ever helped me yet?Â
and magic isnât real and anyway it doesnât matterÂ
cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect
the angry death of every hopeful thoughtÂ
that I might be a lover or a fighter that Iâm notÂ
in someones spider web or net I could be caughtÂ
but Iâm too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot
So what? Do you want me to say sorry?Â
should I apologize, when you ignore me?Â
I didnât ask to be right or to be lonelyÂ
or to be hatched into an ugly story
I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squaresÂ
but then I guess I bored them both to deathÂ
And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to piecesÂ
better yet invent a brand new method of ascension
Iâm impressed, youâve managed to surviveÂ
but rest assured weâd all be better off dead than aliveÂ
cause when they get a-hold of us weâll all be batter friedÂ
and Iâm surprised that nobodyâs considered switching sides
So here I am, respectfully and royally destroyingÂ
any chance of getting back on your good gillsÂ
And I donât want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purpleÂ
well then bleedingâs the new breathing, donât you think I will!
I used to wish the death of every living thingÂ
I might be your killer but youâd never be my queenÂ
so put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreamsÂ
Iâm done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems
That I am just pathetic, I wonât be overlookedÂ
Iâm past the point of fishing to get back upon your hookÂ
Iâve made a manifesto, Iâve been bested by a crook, but never more!Â
Iâm planning on reclaiming what he tookâŚ
So what? do you want me to say sorry?Â
should I apologize, when you ignore me?Â
I didnât ask to be right or to be lonelyÂ
or to be hatched into an ugly storyÂ
to be hatched into an ugly story
Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory
I am a prince and I live in a shipÂ
I am a prince and I live in a ship
