All We Ask:
An Original Song for Farscape's Scorpius
​

There are many things a man can want. But all this one asks for is the power to save his people.

Note: This one isn't actually a music video. It's an original composition by yours truly. :) I do plan to make a music video out of it someday, though.

In the meantime, if you would like to sing and upload your own version, I would be happy to provide you with the lyrics and instrumentals.

Lyrics:

​All that you ask of me
Is that I set aside
My quest for your knowledge
Do you want to die?

Armageddon is coming
I hold it at bay
Yet I am a monster
That’s what people say

You’re your kind of hero
And I am my own
You fight for your loved ones
And I fight alone

There’s a rift between us
We must bridge it
For if we don’t,
Our lives are forfeit

I don’t care if you hurt me
I don’t care if you hate
If we can stop this fate
Take all I have, I’ll bear no ill will
All I ask is please don’t let my people be killed

You’re entitled to despise me
I know this is true
But the thing you don’t realize
Is I could have been you

You fight for your loved ones
I fight for my race
We lie, kill, and steal
Is the rift so great?

You say I treat people as pawns;
I ask how many
Would be by my side if
I didn’t force them to be

I don’t care if they abandon me,
bury me alive
To halt their extinction
is the reason I strive

I don’t care if you hate me
For forcing your hand
Though you misunderstand
Your family lives; mine is long gone
To save others like them, I must still carry on

Sometimes I wish that I could ask
For friendship from those whom I protect
But better that they see me as a monster
Than die and see nothing
Ever again

I could have worked for the conquerors
And saved my own skin
Or sought safety and love as
A civilian

But I gave up that chance
I’ll do whatever it takes
For happiness is nothing
Next to what's at stake

I’ll endure the betrayal,
be misunderstood
Be seen as irredemable
even when I do good

I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need you to care
All I ask is that you help me
This burden to bear

And after the war you will wish
I was gone, but don’t fear 
For I will still be here
Against my presence in your life you may chafe
But I’ll be with you always, keeping you safe
