Deal with Destiny

"**Deal with Destiny**" is a song sung by LDShadowLady and Dangthatsalongname in Lizzie’s 18th episode of Empires. It focuses on Lizzie trying to trade Scott the “artifacts” she has fished from the ocean for the Ocean Orb he has, which has made an appearance in the enderlotl's writings. This song happens inside the Ocean Empire shipwreck’s grotto.

## Lyrics

**Colour Code**

Feast your eyes as I share my glorious wares

They're precious antiques, they're exquisitely rare

A magical ink sac, some ancient bamboo

A dish of deliciously devilish stew

Make up your mind, what fabulous find will it be?

*I don't suppose you have any glorious footwears?*

I've got a fishing rod, an enchanted book

An iron ingot and a tripwire hook

A handcrafted stick and a powerful bow

A dinosaur bone and and a tasty potato!

Make up your mind, what fabulous find will it be?

I've got a deal with destiny

A bargain with fate

This business is bound to profit me

As long as that fool takes the bait

I mean, that's all very nice, it's all very well

But I've got those things at Rivendell

I'm hoping for something a little bit new

Those boots over there look like they could do

I've made up my mind, that fabulous find is for me

*They're just old leather but one man's trash is another man's treasure. They're yours!*

I actually meant the shinier pair

Would they be something you're willing to spare?

You know I like diamonds, you know I love gold

And teal just suits me, or so I've been told

I've made up my mind, that fabulous find is for me

I've got a deal with destiny

A bargain with fate

This business is bound to profit me

As long as that fool takes the bait

That sounds fair but what about me?

I'm a generous soul but I don't give for free

Rivendell has such a lot in its coffers

Surely there's something of worth you can offer?

*Erm, of course. I've got...*

The oldest wood from the tallest pine

The toughest stone from the deepest mine

The purest snow from the highest peak

The softest wool from the fluffiest sheep

Make your mind, what fabulous find will it be?

*How about that robe?*

*Not a chance.*

*How about the owls?*

*Absolutely not.*

*That thing looks interesting.*

*What thing?*

*That thing in your hand? You've been holding it this whole time.*

*Oh, this piece of ju- I mean, valuable treasure.*

*Yes. That's what I want.*

*So, do we have a deal?*

*Deal.*

I've got a deal with destiny

(I've got a deal with destiny)

A bargain with fate

This business is bound to profit me

(And it's bound to profit me)

Now that this fool's made a deal with destiny

A bargain with fate

(I've got a deal with destiny)

This business is bound to profit me

(And I'm bound)

Now that this fool took the bait

*Finally, the ocean orb is mine.*

*But what am I meant to do with this thing?*

*How does it work? I don't understand...*

[*gasp*] *What's happening to me?*

*My skin... it's turning blue!*

*Wha- Is that a tail?*

*What have I done?*

I've got to deal with destiny

I've bargained with fate

This business is bound to the prophecy

Am I the fool? Have I just made a mistake?
