CLAP... STOMP... CLAP... rhythm begins. A lone voice imitates a mournful rodeo trumpet.] [Lead Vocal, spoken, like a legend being told around a campfire] Gather 'round, children, and listen real good... 'Bout Freqorak the Dragon, and the day the brave stood. [Verse 1] [The funky vocal bassline kicks in. The rhythm becomes a danceable groove.] [Lead Vocal] Well, the beast came from the dust, with a bull's head and a roar A purple-scaled mountain, who always wanted more He snatched up the Rengo's daughters, the ten jewels of the land Left nothin' but silence, and a whole lotta sand The alchemists offered potions, a cure in a vial... Said "We'll fix 'em right up!", with a sly, knowing smile. [Chorus] [The music EXPLODES. The full choir joins in a massive, joyous, foot-stomping chant. The mouth trumpets blare.] [Lead Vocal & (Full Choir)] BUT WE DON'T NEED NO CURE! (HELL NAW!) WE RIDE THE DAMN STORM! YEE-HAW! FOR THE PURPLE COW! KEEP THE LEGEND WARM! WE DON'T BOTTLE THE LIGHTNING! (HELL NAW!) WE GRAB IT BY THE HORNS! YEE-HAW! FOR THE PURPLE COW! SINCE THE DAY WE WAS BORN! [Verse 2] [The groove continues, the lead singer's delivery is full of swagger.] [Lead Vocal] Three hundred good souls, with nothin' but grit Said "That ain't no monster, that's a bull we gotta sit!" We ain't here to slay it, that ain't our design We're here to ride the earthquake, and make that beast divine! So forget the prescriptions, the patents, the pills You don't cage a hurricane, you just learn its thrills! [Chorus] [The party is at its peak. It's a celebration of defiance.] [Lead Vocal & (Full Choir)] 'CAUSE WE DON'T NEED NO CURE! (HELL NAW!) WE RIDE THE DAMN STORM! YEE-HAW! FOR THE PURPLE COW! KEEP THE LEGEND WARM! WE DON'T BOTTLE THE LIGHTNING! (HELL NAW!) WE GRAB IT BY THE HORNS! YEE-HAW! FOR THE PURPLE COW! SINCE THE DAY WE WAS BORN! [Bridge: The Roll Call] [The music drops to a frantic, fast-paced stomp-clap beat. The lead singer delivers the names in a breathless, virtuosic rush. The choir shouts each name back.] [Lead Vocal & (Choir)] We fought for the virtues, the wild and the true! For GRACE! (GRACE!) For GUTS! (GUTS!) For RHYTHM! (RHYTHM!) For SOUL! (SOUL!) For SWAGGER! (SWAGGER!) For MELODY! (MELODY!) For SPITFIRE! (SPITFIRE!) For LUCK! (LUCK!) For HEARTBREAK! (HEARTBREAK!) AND THE BLUES! THE TEN DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM THAT WE'D NEVER LOSE! [Outro] [The full, glorious chorus slams back in one last time, even more powerful and triumphant. The song ends with the whole choir holding the last note, followed by a final, unified STOMP and a collective, satisfied "Yee-haw!".]
