The Timeless One; Jolene.
I’ve loved seeing and hearing the eldritch Jolene things over the last few days, so I ended up compiling lyrics and weaving them together into something long and complete feeling that I could use maybe to scare my D&D players, or at least to just enjoy myself. (I’ve put credits to all the lovely people who did most of this underneath^^)
Anyway, here goes:
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.
Your beauty is beyond compare;
With flaming locks of auburn hair;
With ivory skin, and eyes of emerald green.
For years our town’s been terrorized;
By the beast who takes disguise;
Inside the shell, that calls itself Jolene.
Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath;
Eyes closed against the threat of death;
She waits for us in darkest night, Jolene.
The closer that you get to her,
The more those edges seem to blur,
To something that cannot be called Jolene.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.
Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape,
Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape,
From the judgment of the eldritch one Jolene.
He screams about you in his sleep,
And when he wakes does naught but weep,
In terror of the one they call, Jolene.
Blackening the summer skies,
With burning wings and countless eyes,
We tremble at the thought of you, Jolene.
Bliss withered from this awful truth,
Gone is the ignorance of youth,
The unrelenting mark of that Jolene.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.
The foolish who came to defend,
Their broken minds will never mend,
They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.
We cower here beneath your gaze,
That sets the earth and sky ablaze,
Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.
Before her wrath no foe could stand,
Their corpses piled upon the sand,
The blood of gods are on her hands; Jolene.
Her hunger barely satisfied,
She feasted on the ones who died,
She slumbers now in starless skies; Jolene.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging you, please don’t disturb her sleep.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep.

I guess I added a bit too, and I’m hoping to try it out on the melodeon one of these days!
