### Movement I – The Slave Crown **Chords (Verse):** Dm – Bb – F – C (repeat) **Female (Terra):** Woke up in an iron halo, Snowfields burning under armored feet. They said I was a weapon for an empire, Every village just another beat. **Male (Narrator):** Marching in Magitek, eyes gone hollow, Slave crown humming like a radio hymn. Two ghosts in coats took her by the shoulder, Said, “Girl, you don’t belong to them.” **Chords (Refrain):** Bb – F – C – Dm **Both (Beatles-ish):** Who am I, who am I, She just keeps repeating. Who am I, who am I, Under all this feeling? --- ### Movement II – The Esper Child **Chords (Verse):** Dm – Bb – F – C **Female:** There’s a city made of gears and greed, Emperor’s table lined with stolen light. I was born between a spell and a scream, Esper mother disappearing into night. **Male:** Kefka paints the sky in poison colors, Laughs like a fuse on a powder hill. She feels the magic tearing through her fingers, Doesn’t know if it will save or kill. **Chords (Call & Response):** Bb – F – C – Dm **Both:** Am I human, am I magic? You’re the fault line where they meet. Am I someone, am I tragic? You’re the crack beneath their feet. **Chords (Refrain):** Bb – F – C – Dm Who am I, who am I, Echoes in the engine roar. Who am I, who am I, You were never just their war. --- ### Movement III – The World in Ruins **Chords (Verse):** Dm – Bb – F – C **Male:** Tower falls, the world breaks sideways, Continents drowning in a purple tide. Sixteen months of ashes and survivors, Tiny islands where the fallen hide. **Female:** I was living on a broken rooftop, Watching children chase the dying sun. Didn’t know if I was meant to stay here, Didn’t know if I was meant to run. **Chords (Refrain):** Bb – F – C – Dm **Both:** She hears them laugh, feels them shake her, Little hands that don’t know fear. Every time she pulls them closer, Something like a heart appears. **Chords (Beatles pattern):** Bb – F – C – Dm Hold them close, hold them close, Let the past fall off your back. Hold them close, hold them close, You don’t have to carry that. --- ### Movement IV – The Final Battle **Chords (Verse – heavier):** Dm – Bb – F – C **Male:** Up the tower made of screaming faces, Kefka preaching from a burning throne. God of nothing, king of ruined places, Trying to turn the world to bone. **Female:** I remember marching under orders, Now I climb here with my chosen friends. Not a weapon, just a soul in armor, Singing, “This is where the terror ends.” **Chords (Anthem):** Bb – F – C – Dm **Both:** We are more than all your empires, More than slave crowns, more than chains. We’re the quiet vow of every fighter, Standing in your poisoned rain. **Chords (Mantra):** Bb – F – C – Dm Let it fall, let it fall, All the towers made of lies. Let it fall, let it fall, We’ve got worlds behind our eyes. --- ### Movement V – Terra’s Choice **Chords (Soft Verse):** Dm – Bb – F – C **Female:** If my magic fades, will I disappear? If I stay a ghost, am I still real? Children’s laughter pulling at my sleeve, Stronger than the way the spellwords feel. **Male:** You can stay and you can vanish, You can rise or you can land. Every life is just a borrowed fragment, Every choice is just a raised-up hand. **Chords (Build):** Bb – F – C – Dm **Both:** Walk the fields, walk the fields, Let the air be all you need. Take the love, take the love, You are more than any creed. --- ### Coda – Symphonic Finale **Chords:** Bb – F – C – Dm **Both (soaring):** Terra Branford, girl of two worlds, Burning bright in ruins and bloom. Terra Branford, letting go of magic, Filling up an ordinary room. Terra Branford, running through the sunrise, Wind in hair instead of fear. Terra Branford, with the children laughing, Finally choosing to stay here. **Chords (gentle end):** Bb – F – C – Dm “That’s my story, that’s my name,” “From slave crown to a human friend…” From the opening snow To the world made whole She lives, she runs, …and that’s the end.
