Hello there, folks!
As I'm a kind of a fan of "The Dark Tower", I always try to convince my friends of reading this series. Some of my friends were so inspired that we decided to make a song. I haven't found any rules or restrictions on attaching files or videos, so I just embedded it here. Simple. Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy "The Gunslinger"!
P.S. Sorry if posted it in the wrong forum.

Great song! You guys are from Russia? I Googled "Polar Owls" but could not find anything else on your band. Any chance you might post the lyrics for us?
Russia, yes. "Polar Owls" is not actually the real band, we just had to be announced somehow to render this song at the university.
And sure I can post the lyrics. Thanks, and enjoy the song!

Got it. Thanks!

I especially love the twangy, Ennio Morricone-influenced guitars, paying homage to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which was obviously one of SK's influences in creating Roland and the series.

Oh, finally, the Internet!
As I promised, here is the text of the song:

He grew up in the castle
His teacher was strict and brutal
And through the millions of miles
Of endless sand
He can smell the footsteps
Of Man in Black

And when the sun goes down
The desert hides in the dark
He builds a fire on the mystic ember's spark
He's from the ruined world
Survives the desert's winds
He moistens his dry throat and sings

Comalla come ka
Comalla come ka
Sings comalla come ka
Comalla come ka

It was predicted
It was told in cards
That first he’d draw the Prisoner -
The bravest junkie’s heart,
The Lady of three faces carrying evil inside.
Then the Sailor’s drawing operation
Would bind Ka-tet tight.

They travel through the worlds
Along the fateful stream
They notice every sign
and follow every gleam
And when they lose their way
They listen to their Dean.
He knows, they serve the Beam. He sings

Comalla come ka
Comalla come ka
Sings comalla come ka
Comalla come ka

She is the Meaning and the Purpose
Of their dangerous way
She stands among the field of roses
Calling them everyday
Inside her black eternal stone are answers to everything
The Dark Tower!
Come on! Destroy Crimson King!​
