Turaga Dume - Prove yourselves (I'll make a man out of you) lyrics

Didn’t think I’d be able to do another one this quick, but turned out to be rather easy writing this one, so… here you go again :grin: I think it actually turned out even better, too.
This is also totally refering to the one thing the second Bionicle movie was completely lacking :wink:


Remember the scene from the second Bionicle movie where the Toa Metru enter the Coliseum with the Great Disks to pledge themselves to protect the Matoran?

Well, take this song:

And these lyrics:

(Dume)
Let‘s get down to business, and the questions that arise
Are you really Toa, or just Matoran in disguise?
It is all well that you brought us these disks
But I fear, they won’t suffice
It are deeds defining Toa not some prize

Noble is your offer, but brought forth too soon
First prove us you’re worthy, to protect this commune
Let us see what you’re capable of
The sea of Protodermis awaits you
Let us see, let us judge, if your claims are true

(Onewa):
Great, firespitter, take this back
(Matau):
I hoped they’d be more happy-welcoming
(Whenua):
All I thought I’d do today was read that book
(Vakama)
But, what about the Morbuzakh?
(Nokama)
Seems like they aren’t already knowing
(Nuju):
Guys, there’s something happening there, look!

(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
(Dume):
Show your control over air and water
(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
(Dume):
The very power of earth and stone
(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
(Dume):
The heat and cold of ice and fire
Are you really worthy, well, it will be shown!

I am disappointed, is this all you’ve got?
From what I can see here, you’re a rather sorry lot
We can surely do as good without you
You should’ve kept to making masks
For clearly you are not fit to a Toa’s tasks!

(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
(Dume):
Show your control over air and water
(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
(Dume):
The very power of earth and stone
(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
(Dume):
The heat and cold of ice and fire
Are you really worthy, well, it will be shown!

(Matoran):
PROVE YOURSELVES
Show your control over air and water
PROVE YOURSELVES
The very power of earth and stone
PROVE YOURSELVES
The heat and cold of ice and fire
Are you really worthy, well, it will be shown!


For whatever reason I envision Teridax/Dume pulling off some sick dancemoves while singing :laughing:.

Well, it would be pretty hilarious - and super awesome. I definitley won’t keep anyone from using these lyrics if they want to.

This is just as good as the first.

At this point in the story Teridax is disguised as Turaga Dume, so basically it’s Teridax singing.
