Song of Persephone - Red Rising (a fan version) - Greta Smidt video free download

So I was reading Red Rising from cover to cover one night, and when I came across the song (i was quite excited, I LOVE music) and came up with this in my head. I found the online audio book copy, and it..... didn't quite match the folk-tune idea that I thought it would emulate, soooooo I made my own version. This is roughly what I came up with, and I just wanted to share! Fandom has always been quite fun especially for this reason. Anyway, thought someone other than myself would enjoy it! Enjoy, haha.

I did not create the lyrics (those belong to Pierce Brown), but I did create the melody!

Lyrics:

Listen, listen

Remember the wane

Of sun’s fury and waving grain

We fell and fell

And danced along

To croon a knell

Of rights and wrongs

And

My son, my son

Remember the burn

When leaves were fire and seasons turned

We fell and fell

And sang a song

To weave a cell

All autumn long

And

Down in the vale

Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing

the reaper swing

Down in the vale

Hear the reaper sing

A tale of winter long

My girl, my girl

Remember the chill

When rains froze and snows did kill

We fell and fell

And danced along

Through icy hell

To their winter song

My love, my love

Remember the cries

When winter died for spring skies

They roared and roared

But we grabbed our seed

And sowed a song

Against their greed

My son, my son

Remember the chains

When gold ruled with iron reins

We roared and roared

And twisted and screamed

For ours, a vale

of better dreams

And

Down in the vale

Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing

the reaper swing

Down in the vale

Hear the reaper sing

A tale of winter done.
