Paralyzed | Bonus Track from Jet & the Valkyrie
🕑 Added 2021-02-11 18:44:34 +0000 UTCHi patronfolk! After giving the album a little time to breathe, I've decided it's time to release the two tracks I recorded that ultimately didn't make it onto the album. Enjoy!
Paralyzed canonically takes place after Blue & Green. It describes Jet's battle with the Lindworm and the loss of the Valkyrie. Sound familiar? It should - it's the exact same story as How Angels Die. It's even the same musical premise of 'happy song, sad lyrics'!
I wrote Paralyzed first and it was all ready to be slotted into the album, but then the idea of How Angels Die came and blew Paralyzed out of the water.
Still, the sections at 2:04 and 3:00 are so powerful to me. Paralyzed certainly has a kick!
$5+ patrons can download Paralyzed (along with the karaoke and instrumental versions) from the Archive of Wondrous Listenings.

I'm calling to you
I'm trying to prove
That I could be the one who fights the beast
The mighty fiend that bites with sharpened teeth
I can not move
My fear, it grips me
And keeps me still
Paralyzed
I watch you hurt
And I do nothing
Why am I like this
Paralyzed
You're bleeding
Open wounds
It's feeding
Pain-attuned
You tell me to keep away, that you are fine
I trust in you, but I can tell that you are dying
I can not move
My fear, it grips me
And keeps me still
Paralyzed
I watch you hurt
And I do nothing
Why am I like this
Paralyzed
Paralyzed (x4)
You're falling
And now you're done
Your lightning
Forever dulled
I can move
My fear, it grips me
But I push through
Valorized
My cheeks are soaked
Because it took me
Your whole life to be valorized
Valorized (x4)
