Changes: Falor's Journey

Latest revision as of 17:40, 19 December 2019

"Falor's Journey" was a Vulcan folk song of enlightenment.

Falor was a prosperous merchant who went on a journey to gain greater awareness. Lieutenant Tuvok's youngest son was particularly fond of his father playing "Falor's Journey" on his lute. The full narrative was an epic story consisting of 348 verses. Tuvok, however, facing a group of Drayans who appeared to be children, noted that it might not be necessarily to include the complete narrative. Lacking his lute, he sang one of the tale's verses to lull them to sleep. (VOY: "Innocence")

Listen to Tuvok sing "Falor's Journey"^file info

Through storms he crossed the Voroth Sea

To reach the clouded shores of Raal

Where old T'Para offered truth.

He traveled through the windswept hills

And crossed the barren Fire Plains

To find the silent monks of Kir.

Still unfulfilled, he journeyed home

Told stories of the lessons learned

And gained true wisdom by the giving.

Lisa Klink, the writer of "Innocence", also wrote the lyrics for the song "Falor's Journey" as a Vulcan lullaby. As such, she was admitted into ASCAP, the composers and performers union, and sent a minuscule royalty each time the installment aired in repeats.
