This is some epicness. D:
One and a half pages long, running about two minutes I think, and with a pretty spiffy subplot in my opinion. This thing's a real monster to design. As I mentioned, not only is it twice as long, but it's filled with double-voices and dips and peaks. But the track was so amazing I had to do it.
This does bring me to something I'd like to try, though. If you have any tracks you think words could feasibly be written to, throw them out there and I might try and tackle them sometime. From any old game. : D
This one is MM2's Wily Castle 1, as a reminder. Go download it for the reading.
Comrades in the Epic Battle
-----------------------------------
Now everyone give an answer to the call of justice.
Stand by me!
We face the battle of the century.
And you know that I can't do it without you.
Face the coming fight! Raise your sword for right! Come on!
Now we stand against evil as we arm for the battle.
Be on guard!
Don't let this opponent tear you apart.
If you think you can't take it, take a running start.
So we stand our ground! Turn this fight around!
Come on!
A raging dragon could not stop our victory.
Now, let's see you leap into action.
Show what you can do. So, let's get to it!
Now, they'll face the madness of we dragon-slayers.
It's not over yet...
Can we take the stand?
Two to two thousand?
Come on!
Show them your blood-lust!
After all, we all turn into dust.
If we die here, at least we die the death of proud warriors.
Die the fighter's death! Give your final breath!
Now, look!
A metal mountain! Let's make a race to the top!
The obstacles they set before us are simple playthings before justice!
Let's give nothing less than our fighting best.
Up on your feet! Know no defeat,
And we will show the world our power before staggering odds.
Now, you can still stand up. I see no weakness in your eyes
Our frail human bodies tell us those lies.
Now up on your feet, let me see you rise!
Face the coming fight! Raise your sword for right! Come on!
Now we stand against evil as we valiantly struggle.
Be on guard!
Don't let this opponent tear you apart.
If you think you can't take it, lie there where you are.
So we face the odds, fighting for our cause.
Come on!
Our enemy has powers unmatched in this world,
But if we take our steel to his heart
We'll turn this battle to his graveyard!
Fight the odds! We've come too far to be defeated!
With our final breaths...
Let us defy fate!
Live another day!
Come on!
I will not leave this battlefield alive!
Fight not for me, but for yourself
And for the dreams we held that brought victory!
Please, leave me to die! Keep yourself alive!
Go on!
The future we've made lets me rest peacefully here.
And now I know that you will be there to see the new world.
That is victory!
Weep not for me, friend, but let me see you
Peaceful again. This is the end.
From this forsaken battlefield let us see our dream made real.
