Firedance--Ursa's POV (UrsaxOzai)

This is me singing a song I wrote from Ursa's point of view. Or, I'm singing everything but the second verse. It was one of my earlier songs about Ursa, and before Sozin's Comet came out, so in the bridge and last chorus I was imagining one version of the final battle. I was influenced a lot by a fanfiction of Karalora's on Fanfiction.net, called "Excerpts from the Diary of Princess Ursa" (as well as it's prequel, "Lucky to be Born"). So I thank the writer of that fic, if they ever see this. Oh yeah, and major Urzai (UrsaxOzai) here!

Firedance

My father's house I leave,
To another soon to cleave:
My suitors I receive--
A poised and delicate flower:
My prince, you speak my name--
My hand you seek to claim:
Should I choose the Royal Flame,
And dare to be in your power?

Beautiful and dangerous--
In you the patterns shift like fire:
They say that love is perilous--
You could be all that I desire,
But help me if I stoke your ire!

Perhaps we cannot understand
The other's steps, but take my hand...

And we dance--
Could this be my fairytale romance?
I wonder as you hold me in a trance
With your golden glance:
Shimmering,
The summer Sun enspelled me on the wing--
But you could teach this bird for you to sing,
And to you I'd cling!

My prince, I'll be your gentle dove--
Please say your princess has your love!

I hold a baby boy--
My utter love and joy
The birthpain can't destroy,
For dearly I bought this blessing:
Your father's love you seek,
Yet our son you deem to weak!
Your eyes of anger speak,
Your bitter want confessing.

To you it's always rivalry
To be honored by the Lord of Fire--
But no-one is your enemy
Except your hate and dark desire--
Don't let yourself be lost to ire!

Perhaps we cannot understand
The other's steps, but take my hand...

And we dance--
Could this be my fairytale romance?
I wonder as you hold me in a trance
With your golden glance:
Shimmering,
The summer Sun enspelled me on the wing--
But you could teach this bird for you to sing,
And to you I'd cling!

My prince, I'll be your gentle dove--
Please say your princess has your love!

Once, to shield my son, I knew
I had to leave in the dark--
Sweet child, what has he done to you?
You carry fire's mark!
Beneath the scars you've borne so long,
Is my darling young one lost?
My Lord, you've done our baby wrong,
And you have to pay the cost!

And we dance--
Once this was my fairytale romance,
But for my child, I must escape the trance
Of your golden glance:
Shimmering,
Fire lights your Hall where shadows wing--
At your defeat, my dear one's heart may sing,
And to this I cling!

I used to be your gentle dove,
But now we cannot keep our love...

May Agni bear your soul above!--
That realm I'll keep on dreaming of.
