Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] [The music starts with a low, menacing string tremolo] The trap is set, the rats are in the hall, I’ve lived to see the writing on the wall. My lungs are burning and my heart is slow, But I’ve got one more fire left to show! They think I’m weak, they think the Lion’s dead, They’re coming for the crown upon my head! But every step they take toward the throne, Is a step into a grave they’ve made their own! [Pre-Chorus] [The tempo accelerates; the brass becomes frantic] For every sin I’ve sown in forty years, For every mother’s cry and orphan’s tears! I’ll pay the interest on the debt tonight, And vanish in a flash of sulfur light! [Chorus] [Explosive, cinematic orchestration] Let the bullets rain like a final prayer! I’ll breathe the smoke of the winter air! No more hiding, no more grace, Let them see the demon’s face! The King is falling, long live the child, The beast is broken, the world is gone wild! One last stand! ONE LAST STAND! [Bridge] [The music shifts into a slow-motion, operatic feel. Gunshots ring out in time with the percussion—BANG-BANG] This one’s for the peace she’ll never have to buy! This one’s for the light in her beautiful eye! I am the wall! I am the gate! I am the master of my own damn fate! [The music reaches a fever pitch, voices of a phantom choir join in] MARIA! CAN YOU HEAR THE WIND? THE SLATE IS CLEAN! I’VE KILLED THE SIN! [Guitar/Orchestral Solo] [A chaotic, soaring melody representing the shootout. It’s grand, tragic, and violent] [Final Chorus] [The music is massive, the loudest point of the musical] Let the bullets rain like a final prayer! I’ll breathe the smoke of the winter air! The King is falling, long live the child, The beast is broken, the world is gone wild! I’m going home... I’M GOING HOME! [Outro] (The music stops abruptly. Total silence, then the sound of heavy rain] [The Boss - whispering, barely audible] The street is quiet. The wolves... are gone. Sleep well, Maria. Wait for the dawn.
