El Diablo -The Black Devil Hero of the Common Wealth Doo-Wap
[Intro – Deep Bass Vocal and Snapping] [Bass] Oh, the Wasteland owes... [Snaps begin, gentle harmonies ]("Mmm-hmm, doo-wop") [Bass] And somebody's got to pay. [Verse 1 (Lead Vocal - Smooth, reflective)] The sun went down on the Commonwealth's peace, and the honest folks saw all their good times cease. The Raider took the water, the Gunner took the food, They thought nobody was watching in this broken neighborhood. But there's a rumor hummin' low on the air, about a black suit of iron who just d-doesn't care... [(Pre-Chorus – Building anticipation) (Lead Vocal)] Better think about your conscience, better drop that stolen piece. He's got a wicked debt to settle to bring the people peace! [Chorus (Full Group Harmony - Triumphant, soaring key)] Oh-oh, El Diablo! He’s the shadow comin’ through! Oh-oh, El Diablo! He’s the debt collector for you! He ain't here for glory, or a headline in the news! He's just paying back the debt that the wicked refuse! [Verse 2 (Lead Vocal - Direct, narrative)] He took the knife from the hand of the taker, pulled the brute off the girl—she cried, "My Maker!" Found the Deathclaw's cave, left a message of doom, lit a flare in the tunnels to chase away the gloom. He walks right past the caps, ignores the silver and gold, because his kind of justice can't be bought or sold. He's the last man standing from a world that broke the rules, protecting lonely travellers and innocent fools. [(Pre-Chorus – Building anticipation) (Lead Vocal)] Better think about your conscience, better drop that stolen piece. He's got a wicked debt to settle to bring the people peace! [Chorus (Full Group Harmony - Triumphant, soaring key)] Oh-oh, El Diablo! He’s the shadow comin’ through! Oh-oh, El Diablo! He’s the debt collector for you! He ain't here for glory, or a headline in the news! He's just paying back the debt that the wicked refuse! [Bridge (Tempo slows slightly, focus on the bass and high harmonies, almost a hymn)] [Bass] He's got no home, just this armor he wears... [High Harmonies] No name, just the burden he bears... [Lead Vocal] But for every good soul that the Wasteland betrayed, The Devil keeps coming, until the last price is paid! [Chorus (Full Group Harmony - Max energy)] Oh-oh, El Diablo! He’s the shadow comin’ through! Oh-oh, El Diablo! He’s the debt collector for you! He ain't here for glory, or a headline in the news! He's just paying back the debt that the wicked refuse! [Outro (Bass and Snapping Fade Out)] [(Bass, fading)]The Devil is here... Debt paid. [High Harmonies, echoing] Just a sayin'... Mmm-hmm...
