Wizard Banished - Danielo the Drunk Wizard

Danielo's Fall

[Verse]
I’m DANIELO, the OLD wizard, once FULL OF GLORY
Maybe a drunk, or just LOST in my STORY
I used to CAST SPELLS, now I just WONDER
Locked in a cage, with a THUNDEROUS BLUNDER

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
The WORLD was ONCE full of MAGIC for ME
I sailed like a CAPTAIN, through MYSTERY and SEA
But age CREEPS in, and life grew SO WEARY
From spells in my HANDS, to struggles so EERIE

[Verse]
Once I turned into A SNAIL, my powers SO THIN
Found myself in GUNTHER’S GARDEN, trapped WITHIN
But TIME wore the SPELL down, I CRUMBLED ASIDE
Chewing on LEAVES, while trying to HIDE

[Instrumental]

[Pre-chorus]
Then I WANDERED, until I found an OLD TOWER

[Chorus]
Thought to myself, "I’ll FIX it, I’ll EMPOWER"
The forest WAS FAIR, the LAND fertile and GOOD
I settled RIGHT THERE, as I KNEW that I SHOULD

[Bridge]
In the CELLAR, THINGS WERE ALIVE
But I left them BECAUSE I found a WHITE RUM HIDE
Sat on tower PARAPET, drank and stared OUT
Dreaming of ADVENTURES, and life WITHOUT DOUBT

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
From the depths OF THE TOWER to the SKY so FAR
I stayed BELOW, admiring my TOWER’S BAR
Thought of BREWING and fixing THIS PLACE
But DRINK took my DREAMS, and I lost MY RACE

[Chorus]
In the TOWER'S UNDERGROUND, I BUILT a HOME
Straw for a BED, I lived on MY OWN
Rum in my HAND, my visions CAME ALIVE
I, the wizard DANIELO, tried once more to THRIVE

[Break]

[Verse]
I let the DRINK take hold, stronger EACH DAY
It became my SPELL, as I FELL away
No more PARAPETS, no more STARS IN SIGHT
Just me and the BOTTLE, sinking into NIGHT

[Outro]
I’m DANIELO, the wizard? NO MORE
Magic slipped AWAY, washed UP on the SHORE
Hermit of towers dungeon but day will come
when Danielo, the wizard, will be again awesome.

[Recitative]
"Sure, Danielo?"

"Shut up, hammer. 
Shall I turn you into a snail?"

[Ending]
