[Instrumental] [Intro] [harpsichord arpeggios, staccato strings, double-kick drums] [harmonized lead guitars enter with melodic theme] [Section A] [palm-muted guitar gallops, choir pads, brass accents] [Section B] [lead guitar melody, double-time snare, orchestral swells] [Solo Section] [shred guitar solo, sweep picking, rapid scale runs] [Outro] [final brass stab, sustained guitar feedback] [Use chromatic synemmenon aeolian mode with durmak seyir for all harmonic elements, Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Female voice B - Elizabeth - surgically precise female soprano acuto sfogato with sickeningly sweet squillo using head voice and flageolet (whistle) register (inspired by Adriana Caselotti): Powerful, highly resonant soprano acuto sfogato executing seamless, kulning calls imitating a whooper swan, innocent, clueless, crystal-clear diction, pitch-shift the voice one octave up for an icey and shrill high-crystalline sound. Production notes: Extremely narrow, almost imperceptible rippling, micro-vibrato only with a never-never land quality - should sound like a delivery from 1937 Snowwhite.] [Lyrics in german and english] [Full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1] Stand back... Sheathe yer blades Into scabbards... What would be this wound Compared to the dirk Wiggling right now Deep within Elizabeth's heart? What?... What?... What?... [Pre-chorus] Life mattereth not anymore. Elizabeth forfeited it all Once she heard the jubilant score Of Heinrich's song. Noblemen, hold yer swords For among them none Doth equal Elizabeth's wound. [Chorus] Who else is to judge man but the Lord? Reach him by piercing this heart anon. Or do the right thing and leave it to the Lord, Let His judgment rest upon us all. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] Cannot ye see how encharmed Heinrich is? Cannot ye see he is not in his right mind? He is not the man he used to be, Nor the friend he used to be. His song acquired an esoteric edge, Inspired by twisted knowledge. [Pre-chorus] Yet who doth feel this knowledge more Than doth Elizabeth and this sore? Ye cannot deprieve a sinner of hope, For redemption is not yers to give, Nor is hope yers to be deprieved. [Chorus] Who else is to redeem man but the Lord? Judge him by running through this heart anon. Or do the right thing and listen to my word Revealing the Lord's will to ye all. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations - elaborate coloratura embellishments] * Ааааааааааоооооооо... * Ааааааааааоооооооо... [Bridge] Zurück! Des Todes achte ich sonst nicht! Was ist die Wunde eures Eisens gegen den Todesstoss, den ich von ihm empfing? Was liegt an mir? Doch er - sein Heil! Wollt ihr sein ewig Heil ihm rauben? [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3] Ye who are so strong and firm in faith, What can be enough yer anger to sate? Be careful lest ye fall as well, Insteading of mocking, Show mercy, even undeserv'd 'tis For ye could fall victim To the same sin If watchful ye do not remain. [Pre-chorus] Life hath no lustre anymore. Elizabeth realized it all Now she wanteth a sole thing done: See Heinrich on the right path anon. Elizabeth hath her life forfeit, But her prayers will not cease. The Lord hath suffered for Heinrich as well, None hath he consigned to hell!... [start fade out, slow down] [Outro] Who else is to condemn man but the Lord? Spare him by transverberating this heart anon. Or do the right thing and listen to the voice of reason: Give him a chance for redemption. [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] Heinrich, what hast thou done? ... * Ааааааааааоооооооо... Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr an? ... * Ааааааааааоооооооо... [end]
