LilRadRidingHood's video: Ballad of a Fallen Maiden original song inspired by Pyrrha Nikos

Pyrrha Nikos is everything. (btw the song kinda spoils the first three seasons of RWBY) I wrote most of these lyrics after watching the statue episode of RWBY because I really needed an emotional outlet once I managed to get my loud sobbing under control. I tried to capture a bunch of different aspects of Pyrrha's life. As much as I love and adore Arkos, it was important to me to write a song about her as a person and not just a love interest. I wasn't really sure what to use as a title but I went with "Ballad of a Fallen Maiden" because it's like Fall Maiden but. Fallen. Because death. ahahaha T.T Anyway, I only recently figured out chords for the song, so I was finally able to record it. I know my ukulele playing and the recording are a bit rough but eeeeh I tried. Kinda. At least as much as I felt motivated to in these trying times. Thanks for watching! Stay safe and stay rad B) Also if you wanna listen to another song inspired by Pyrrha you should check out "Autumn Leaves" by Gio Navas. ~Lyrics~ Many autumns ago a great prodigy lived On a high pedestal, the unwelcome abyss That kept her from forming any meaningful bonds With the people who to her great talents were drawn But while they were distant, she cared for them still And took on the task to employ her great skill To fight off the dangers that threatened their lives As the famous young huntress who shone with such light For how could that girl with such faith in the world Turn her back on the people in need Determined to train, she grew stronger each day Working toward her destiny Then along came a boy who was lost and afraid And when she tried to help, he just pushed her away With the pedestal gone now, she reached out again She refused to let shadows loom over her friend For how could that girl with such faith in the world Turn her back on an ally in need She helped him get up and they both fell in love She felt it was destined to be It was autumn again when a new trial arose And of course that brave huntress was the warrior they chose To help them win a war she knew nothing about As she struggled to stay calm amid her self-doubt For how could that girl with such faith in the world Turn her back on the people in need To trust them with her life when they told her such lies Was that really her destiny There was no time to ponder as their world fell apart When a deadly new peril emerged from the dark But the young huntress already knew what to do She put up a fight knowing full well she’d lose For though that brave girl with such faith in the world Knew the odds that she wouldn’t succeed She charged to attack never making it back She knew this was her destiny Now with each fall that passes her memory lives Through the friends that she saved, through the strength that they give Through the boy who, though once lost, will stand up and fight All because of the huntress who gave up her life For how could that girl who had faith in the world Be forgotten by those who have seen The selflessness of all the things that she’s done On her path to her destiny ~Chords~ Verses: Gm Bb Gm Bb F Gm Bb Cm Eb Cm Eb Bb F Chorus: Bb F Gm F Bb F Eb Bb Gm Bb Cm Eb Cm Eb Gm ~Follow Me!!!~ Tumblr: lilradridinghood.tumblr.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/lilradmon
