TERRAFANNA
Move along dear
You’re not strong here
It’s my kingdom
You don’t belong here
HELIORUS
Please forgive me
Were you speaking?
Did I hear
Familiar shrieking?
TERRAFANNA
You’re the one so proud and rude—
HELIORUS
I did not begin this feud—
TERRAFANNA
Oh great Master of the Skies—
HELIORUS
It’s finally time you realized—
BOTH
Without me
You’re nothing!
HELIORUS
Without my rain
And sunlight gleaming
All your powers
Have no meaning
TERRAFANNA
Without my plants and
Beasts to nourish
All your storms are
Empty flourish
HELIORUS
Without me
The sun don’t shine
Your berries shrivel
On the vine
TERRAFANNA
Without my crops
To grow anew
Your sunlight
Hasn’t much to do
HELIORUS
It may shock you
And unnerve you
But I was not
Born to serve you!
TERRAFANNA
I don’t mean to
Trivialize you
But my darling
I despise you!
HELIORUS
Save the bitchy badinage
For pixies in your entourage
TERRAFANNA
Ever since the dawn of time
I’ve listened to you moan and whine
BOTH
Without me
You’re nothing!
HELIORUS
Without my rain
No jungles proud
TERRAFANNA
Without my trees
You’ve got no clouds
HELIORUS
Without my power
Your land is bare
TERRAFANNA
Without my wildlife
No one cares!
HELIORUS
All your creations
I’ll erase!
TERRAFANNA
And cut your nose
To spite your face!
So blow your wind and hold your rain—
HELIORUS
The simple fact will still remain—
TERRAFANNA
Without me
You’re—
HELIORUS
Without me
You’re—
BOTH
Without me
You’re nothing!
