This one was for "something with Orion and the current run" and "his relationship with Lightray after his death." Give it a listen, I promise it's not very long :3

Lyrics

Nothing Nothing Happens When they die So why Do I Still feel you And your light With me Without you In my haste What awaits Is it nothing Is it fate What'd I miss Solis

Day 5 - Love

Based on this interaction from New Gods (1971) #1, this one really could've been for the Masks prompt or even the Friends & Family prompt. But at its heart, its very much a love song. It's written from Orion's perspective, something he could not say or put into words to Lightray, just as the darker parts of his heart cannot yet be shown. But he longs to! He wants deeply to let in this person - the one who lights those dark chambers.

I originally wrote the lyrics some time ago, but only put it to music in the last several days especially for FWW! Please give it a listen, it's not very long.

Ohh Ohh Oh There are places you can't go The darkness is red Inside my heart I prefer your light instead But I fear the start Will spell the end Don't tell me, don't tell me What do you think of me The brutish strength I wield Deep in my soul Is that what's really real And could you know Exactly how I feel The self control, the face I show The mask you see But oh if you stay with me You might find the man that I try to be And oh if you could only know You light the places that you can't go

This one was for "Metron and Darkseid hatefully doing science shit for a larger plot, their dynamic of uneasily working together." Somehow it turned into a quirky musical number. 😂

Lyrics

(M) I have knowledge, work to be done But it's not my hand that holds the gun You are cruelty I am savant I just give the people what they want (D) Free will, what a joke The masses want a leash around their collective throat So use your science, don't ask why Just keep quiet and close your eyes It's about control (D) It's about the power you hold / (M) It's about what you know Your tactics are tactless You're myopic and brassless Your viscous ways lack finesse Your academics don't impress But you've got the thing I need So using you 'til I succeed Suffering the insufferable To reach my goal It's about control

This was supposed to a song from Metron’s point of view, but it kind of got away from me and ended up much more emotional than fits his character. But I still like it, so here it is. The idea is that he knows Heartbeat wants to return to her human life, but she has brought something into his own that he was lacking. He would never admit it to anyone, but he doesn’t want her to go.

Lyrics under the cut

I made a song for Heartbeat inspired by a story arc I've only loosely started putting together in my head, but having to do with saying goodbye and returning back to normal everyday human civilian life. After all she's been through and whatever bonds she's formed with Metron along the way, it's time to go back to how things were before she was abducted and lost her memories.

Lyrics:

We're at the end so if my heart beats faster Could you blame me for wanting happy ever after That's not the kind of story we had That's not the reason you take my hand A broken heart when we part is all I have

So I'll forget but can I keep you as a dream And in your sleepless nights will you still think of me And be tempted to turn back time It wasn't love but it wasn't a lie Didn't you say I could stay by your side

Tell the truth, what'd we save Don't pretend there weren't mistakes You're so smart, find a way Why'd things have to change

Beyond the stars, what do you find When your fingers slip through mine Let's go back, don't ask why We're running out of time

A song from Wally’s POV about losing Barry and grappling with imposter syndrome as he takes on the mantle of the Flash.

Lyrics under the cut

A song from Justice Lord Batman's pov. He's found a version Wally who's alive, and he wants more than anything to have him, to keep him.

Lyrics under the cut

A very subtle Batflash song, lightly referencing A Better World from the Justice League cartoon. In this, Wally has feelings for Bruce, but of course getting his attention isn’t the easiest.
