OWEN:write a rondo about a frozen man who cannot sing and a fire queen who does not dare touch ice
Verse 1:
A frozen man stands tall and proud,
But he cannot sing, his voice is not allowed,
For the ice has taken hold, and he’s frozen in place,
Forever silent, in this frozen space.
Chorus:
Oh, frozen man, so cold and still,
Your heart is frozen, your voice is nil,
But fear not, for the fire queen is near,
And she’ll warm your heart, and take away your fear.
Verse 2:
The fire queen, with flames in her hair,
She walks with grace, but she does not dare,
To touch the ice, that holds the man,
For she fears it will extinguish her flame.
Chorus:
Oh, frozen man, so cold and still,
Your heart is frozen, your voice is nil,
But fear not, for the fire queen is near,
And she’ll warm your heart, and take away your fear.
Verse 3:
But the man, with eyes so bright,
He sees the queen, and he feels the light,
Of her warm embrace, he knows it’s right,
To let go of the cold, and embrace the light.
Chorus:
Oh, frozen man, so cold and still,
Your heart is frozen, your voice is nil,
But fear not, for the fire queen is near,
And she’ll warm your heart, and take away your fear.
Outro:
So let the fire and ice entwine,
For in each other’s arms, they will both shine,
And the frozen man will sing once more,
As the fire queen touches the ice core.
