Morgenstern (Morningstar)

[Elvi]

Morgenstern (Morningstar) - Rammstein

English translation

She's so ugly that it gets dark
when she looks into the sky
Then the light is frightened
It shines into her face from below
So she must hide during the day
She just doesn't want to scare the light
She lives in the shadows until the glow fades
She sees a star shining in the twilight and pleads
Paint beauty onto my cheeks

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the visage of mine
Cast a warm light
onto my frightening face
Tell me I'm not alone
Ugly, you are ugly

I went alone in the night
The late birds no longer sang
I saw children of the sun in the throng so
I cried into the starry heavens

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the beloved of mine
Cast a warm light
onto her frightening face
Tell her she's not alone

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the soul of mine
Cast a warm light
onto a heart that's breaking
Tell her that I'm crying
Because you, you are ugly
You are simply ugly
Humans are just creatures of the eye
Beautiful things are what I want
But you, you aren't beautiful, no

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the beloved of mine
Cast a warm light
onto her frightening face
Tell her she's not alone

And the star wants to shine
onto the beloved of mine
It warms my breast and shakes
where life beats
To see with the heart
she is simply beautiful



These lyrics have played on my mind for quite a while and I was listening to the song and thinking on it today.
Wouldn't this make a fantastic role play?

It would be a sort of reverse beauty and the beast, she (I) would be the 'beast'.

I have to admit that I will be picky on this one and will be picky about who I play with, as I can see it being quite a long game, I would need commitment and a good writer who is happy with not just getting their 'jollies' then loosing interest.

Anyone up for the challenge?

I'd love to play with you Elvi on this concept. It's one of my favorites. I've always enjoyed female monsters, but I am curious. How would the approach be in terms of play? Would it be modern or would it be the classic "fantasy" sort of bit? In a sense, I'm asking if it will be more traditional fantasy or "elves and such" type fantasy?

[Elvi]

I had thought the sort of 'classic' period, but it could work modern day and I had thought of it being a male 'partner'

[ZK]

I can play a male character if you want me to. I meant in the sense of "pulp fantasy" or traditional fantasy.

[Mistiq]

That's an interesting idea, makes me wonder what the song sounds like. I'm sure you won't have too much trouble finding anyone.

Was thinking more sort of folk lore than pulp and it would be great to play with you Zulo, been a long time coming.....
(I'm sorry if my last post was worded as though I was trying to put you off)

I'll try and write an introduction post later on this evening or tomorrow, so you can get tyhe 'flavour' of what I am looking for.


And thanks Mistiq, I'll try and find an online source for you to listen to the song.....it's one of Rammstein's more 'gentler' songs.....(for the want of a better word)

[ZK]

Okay. So, I take you want me to make a smashingly good looking lad though? ^^

[Elvi]

*laughs*

All she needs is 'true love' to break the curse, but of course an excedingly handsome young man who can have his pick of any woman he chooses only to find himself having to be 'nice' to this 'creature' would go down very well.....

[ZK]

He can be a dashing young man, but he bores of the maidens all chasing him down. That sort of thing, always seeking danger and the likes.

[Elvi]

*Nods*
Yes..that would work.....

[ZK]

Okay, sounds like fun then.
