* Many, many thanks to Chama C. Fox for providing me with excellent lyrics! * The MP3 is differently transposed than the original MIDI. * The song "Life and Death" is a part of a musical story called "Wings of Tragedy" which I (Noir7) wrote, and I'm currently composing songs for it. "Life and Death" is the 5th song of the repertoire, out of 6 songs. SYNOPSIS OF THE SONG: The bird of Death, Kato, has tragically fallen in love with life. When he is alive, the world around him suffers. The story protagonist, Cedur, pleads him to end his ill fated love. Kato isn't easily persuaded though, as his connection to Life is very strong and passionate. LYRICS "LIFE AND DEATH" [Death] Shaking, crumbling - what a true ideal! (sarcastically) Nothing lasts forever, yet I gave you life to breathe. [Cedur] ...You gave me lies [Death] Live your life, enjoy your gift. Every flap could be your last. [Cedur] Morbid lies, enchanting words of pride [Death] Life and death in one combined, the tragic melody! [Cedur] ...Dreadful harmony [Death] Listen to the song of life, the beautiful disasterpiece. [Cedur] It sings for me [Death] I found my way through life and death! [Cedur] You left the world to suffocate [Death] I fell in love with life -- the early morning sun, the tranquil night The withered rose shall bloom with newborn life! You'll want a friend like me once darkness falls... [Cedur] You will break the very world you love [Death] I beg to differ... it belongs to me! (Middle section, NOT SUNG!!!) (Wait for it...) (Waaaait for it!) (Here we go) [Death] The structure starts to fall... [Cedur] ...Broken voices [Death] The rhythm falls apart... [Cedur] There is no room for life and death! [Death] Ring the bells of harmony, Listen to the final chime [Cedur] It rings for me, [Death] Come fly with me through night and storm! [Cedur] You'll fly alone with broken wings. [Death] A new horizon, look! Another age begins, oh where's the daylight...? (Mockingly) The fated hour is a tick away. [Cedur] You are flying down the path of fate... [Death] There is a pathway, and it goes through me! (Middle section, not sung!) [BOTH] Life and Death in one combined no more, [Death] We are bound to meet again! [Cedur] ...Never to be seen again! THE END?!?!
