TURN UP YOUR VOLUME!! Though it starts loud, the song gets really really quiet. You will want to listen to this with either loud speakers or headphones.
Using the opening Chorus from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, I have crafted this little peak into that cruel Fate that opposes Zuko, in his history, his family, his quest, and his own character, and how he still stands against it.
The Lyrics are reproduced in English below. I tried to match the clips to what the Chorus is actually singing. Thus, whatever is in between each fade in/out, matches with one of the following lines.
O Fortune,
Like the moon
You are ever changing,
Ever waxing
And waning;
This hateful life
First oppresses
And then soothes
As fancy takes it;
My poverty
And my power:
Fate melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous
And empty,
You whirling wheel,
You are malevolent,
Well-being is vain
For it always fades to nothing.
I am shadowed
And I am veiled
For You always plague me;
Now through with the game,
I will turn my back
On your villainy.
Fate is against me:
Against my health
Against my virtue,
So I am driven on
And I am weighted down,
And I am always enslaved by it.
So at this hour,
Without delay,
I will pluck at Your vibrating strings;
And yet, still Fate
Tries to strikes me down.
Everyone cry with me!
