The Orphan & The Orb (Episode 2)

[Style notes: cinematic fantasy storytelling, multiple character vocals, clear role separation, entertaining dramatic pacing] [Intro] [dark fantasy ambience] [staccato strings] [rapid layered chant: falling, falling, falling] [continue from the ending of part 1, as if the orphan has just been pushed from the tree] [Pre-Chorus] [Shared layered chant] Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling [Chorus B] [Brother 1: aggressive male] They all fell for her, was it really all worth it? [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] Worked to prevent this but really we worthless [Brother 1: aggressive male] So his life for hers, to me she's more important [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] I heard this and poured my tears, not for me or for them [Shared layered chant] Falling, tears falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling They're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling They're falling, they're falling [Verse 1] [Orphan Narrator: youthful cinematic male rap] I was pushed out of hiding, I looked up behind me and quickly see why There's a large man above me He's looking down smiling and he doesn't look friendly I'm not good at fighting, I have to be witty You must want my gold, well I don't have any So just let me go, I'm close to Gold City He jumped from so high, yeah he landed so swiftly In the blink of an eye, he ducked low and spin-kicked me I'm falling, he tripped me, I'm scared he might kill me Standing over me and ready to end me Raised his blade with the power of many [Brother 2: urgent male shout] Hold up! [Orphan Narrator: youthful cinematic male rap] Don't know what caused him to show pity The blade stayed here near me, I'm weary but listen I open my ears, now I hear what they're saying [Chorus A] [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] This isn't, this isn't, this isn't us [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] Those bastards have her and I don't have a choice So I'll do what I must, do what I must [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] We don't have to kill him, let's just tie him up [Brother 1: aggressive male] We can't mess this up [Brother 1 and Brother 2: layered male harmony] But our loved ones still watch us from high up [Chorus B] [Shared chant under the brothers] They falling, they falling, they falling, they falling They falling, they falling, they falling, they falling [Brother 1: aggressive male] They all fell for her and is it really all worth it? [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] Worked to prevent this and really we worthless [Brother 1: aggressive male] So his life for her, to me she's more important [Brother 2: emotional conflicted male] I heard this and poured my tears, not for me or for them [Shared layered chant] Falling, tears falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling They're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling, they're falling Why I'm not certain [Verse 2] [Orphan Narrator: youthful cinematic male rap] Suddenly my orb chills, lights up and now they can see what the source is I've seen the orb do this before, especially when the elders would worship Both spoke with their eyes like they never seen magic They each drew a sword and both started to panic [Brother 1: aggressive male] What's in your hand? [Brother 2: alarmed male] Tell me goddamn it! [Orphan Narrator: youthful cinematic male rap] While taking a step back he fell on some branches Sword fell out his hand, now both him and his weapon They falling, they falling, they falling This here was my chance with this orb in my hand I leap, reach for the sword with no forward thought planned [Verse 3] [Orphan Narrator: youthful cinematic male rap] Then the man who still stands, sword drawn, still in his stance Had been training for moments like this in advance Moved so fast, now I realize I didn't have a chance Squeezed my hands, but can't close my eyes To my surprise, they both froze on the spot So here we are, like did my sphere put the fear in you? I wanted to know who she was and what they both been through That's when I remember my pockets and pictured this guy Would've killed me if not for a miracle As I squeeze, they feel pressure But since I feel weaker How long can I keep up? [Orphan: spoken dialogue, close and clear] Do you know him? [Orphan Narrator: weakening male rap] I show him this image, but my magic prevents them from talking I'm feeling my energy falling, it's falling, it's falling, it's falling Yeah now I'm falling [Bridge] [half-time beat] [heavy sub-bass] [Shared distant chant] Falling, falling, falling Did I lose consciousness? Falling, falling, falling
