[Use enharmonic synemmenon dromos hitzaz mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Male voice A: Christian, star wrestler - pleurnichard passionate spinto tenor with chest-dominant grit and throaty warmth and squillo, textured, gravelly low-mid register.] [Dynamics swell - full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [All vorspiels are the same copy/pasted from the opener, ghammaz section is the only one that changes the pattern.] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1, section A] In the ring - Where men are made from boys. In the ring - Where heroes are made from cowards. It was in the ring We have met. * It was in the ring... [Verse 1, section B] It was in the ring We have stood together. * We have stood together. It was in the ring We have fought together. * We have fought together. [Chorus] Yet life has its own ring And its own rules. It started all in the ring, But to contain it, That, the ring never could. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2, section A] In the ring - Where wheat is trimmed from chaff. In the ring - Where filth remains on the ground Never to stand up. It was in the ring We have met. * It was in the ring... [Verse 2, section B] It was in the ring We have faced each other. * We have faced each other. It was in the ring We have faced others. * We have faced others. [Chorus] Still, life has its own ring And its own battles. While it began in the ring, But to remain within, That, that was impossible. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3, section A] In the ring - Where you learn not to wet your pants. In the ring - Where you learn not to cry, Not even as a joke. It was in the ring We have met. * It was in the ring... [Verse 3, section B] It was in the ring We knew each other. * We knew each other. It was in the ring We saw each other. * We saw each other. [Last chorus, max intensity, drum rolls building tension] [buildup] This life its another ring, And we faced its battles Without flinching. What didn't kill us - It made us stronger. * It made us stronger... [release] Whatever the ring is, We'll face it together. * We'll face it together... Wherever the ring is, We'll fight there together. * We'll fight there together... [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
