I’m not exactly known for my filk. Every so often, though, I’ll get an idea. Even rarer, I’ll work that idea up. Hum along these lyrics to the like-named tune “Into the Night” by Santana and Chad Kroeger.
It was late in the evening, Meridian Court.
He’d reclined in his chair when the Crown called him forth.
He was trembling and weaving as he walked down the aisle.
When he knelt at Their feet, he could see the King smile.
“We have heard of your exploits, of your service and deeds,
So we now call you Lord as the herald will read:”
He got his AoA, his AoA
And the voices rang as the Crown proclaimed!
He got his AoA, his AoA
And they cheered on into the night!
Just a few short years later, at another event,
King and Queen were considering the words they’d been sent.
In the court, this young gentle, they summoned once more
And before them he knelt, what could they have in store?
“Once again you have pleased us, and we’ve heard from the land
A reward you have earned in the form of a Grant!”
He got his GoA, his GoA
And the voices rang as the Crown proclaimed!
He got his GoA, his GoA
And they cheered on into the night!
