This is me singing the first verse and chorus of a song I wrote from Ozai's point of view. (The crazed Ozai fangirl strikes again!) I hadn't seen Sozin's Comet yet, but I imagined a scenerio where he was merely imprisoned instead of killed (which i very much hoped he wouldn't be), so that's where the song came from. He's talking to Ursa (I imagined that she came back ;) ), though not very much in the part I'm singing. The part with more Urzai (UrsaxOzai) is later on in the lyrics, which I'll post here.
Fallen Phoenix
I entreat you: tell me why you've come
To the one whose lands you were banished from!
Since then you know my reign was cruel--
You've seen the scar of a fireduel...
I remember, in this tower cell,
The glory of those days--
Unleashing, by my power, hell
On a world ripe for the blaze...
That zeal I no longer feel--
Was it even real?
I killed and banished and betrayed,
And the meaning starts to fade...
...Why the Comet promised a shining dream--
I'd watch them burn with a dying scream:
I kindled the summer season--
For rebellion giving pain!
How cold the flames of rivalry seem--
The ember lose their defiant gleam--
Recall to me the reason
So fiercely I yearned to reign!
I thought as the whole world's Emperor,
I could teach them to be great--
But as peace destroys the ancient war
I'm the one all peoples hate.
My glory lit the sky,
I ruled the world--I had it all!
With a grandeur bright and perilous,
I gave the stars a tremor!
Beautiful and merciless,
Like fire I would blaze forever:
I rose like a Phoenix, so tell me why
A child was my fall!
Just leave me alone, to the shadows tied--
If I've lost my honor, I'll keep my pride!
I need no love, no pity choose--
But I'm the one who can't refuse...
Imprisoned by your fragile arms,
I've always felt so weak--
Did power call with imagined charms
I destroyed my life to seek?
Did another moon blot out the sun?--
You stare, and I'm undone:
Will you eclipse my lonely rage?--
Dominion's bitter wage!
You fled--I tried to exile my heart--
An unfeeling soul is the tyrant's art:
I served a ruthless master,
In ambition's blaze consumed.
For the one who tore your life apart,
To glisten gently your eyes now start--
I'd rather keep running faster
Than to mercy's touch be doomed!
Grim triumph and dark majesty
I'd like to just forget:
No shame or grief shall conquer me--
I'm a stranger to regret!
My glory lit the sky,
I ruled the world--I had it all!
With a grandeur bright and perilous,
I gave the stars a tremor!
Beautiful and merciless,
Like fire I would blaze forever:
I rose like a Phoenix, so tell me why
A child was my fall!
You know it's true—I'm good at war:
Can I keep fighting any more?
You close the shielding distance,
And I want to turn and run--
It's a lifetime of resistance
For the undesired son:
Does a lifetime overshadow me?--
Are you glad they let me live?
Perhaps I won't go mad to be
The one that you forgive...
I failed in accepting him--
You know this, and you wept for him:
The mercy that I kept from him,
You shouldn't grant me now.
Long ago we lost our summer dream--
So far away it's come to seem!
Do the embers still in slumber gleam?--
And will you teach me how...
To rise from the ashes, and end this war?
(And burn away no more...)
My glory lit the sky,
I ruled the world--I had it all!
With a grandeur bright and perilous,
I gave the stars a tremor!
Beautiful and merciless,
Like fire I would blaze forever:
I rose like a Phoenix, so tell me why
A child was my fall!
