This is a fan retelling of season 1 from Scarlet’s point of view in the form of a lullaby. In terms of fan lore Scarlet sang this song to herself to reinforce what she was doing was for love (although her actions clearly indicated otherwise) and also to remind herself that even with an enormous army at her disposal her efforts would ultimately not prevail against the might of all Tyria. Before her death her mark on Tyria – her “monument” – would become established so that its affects would last forever.
The goal was to show that through her lullaby Scarlet was actually a sympathetic villain who wished to make the world a better place, but went about it through antagonistic and extreme means.
“This will be my monument when I’m gone.”

Monument Lyrics:
Make a space
For my body
Dead or whole,
Push this side apart
This is what I’m controlling,
It’s a mole, the inside that I cart
This will be my MONUMENT
This will be a beacon when I’m gone gone gone
When I’m gone gone gone
When I’m gone!
Soon when that moment comes,
I can say I did it all with love love love
All with love love love
All with love!
Make a cast of my body
Pull back out,
So that I can see
Make a world
Are you ruling?
Make a world
That I used to be
I will let this MONUMENT,
Represent a moment of my life life life life
Of my life life life
Of my life!
I will let this MONUMENT,
Represent a moment of my life life life life
Of my life life life
Of my life!
