Song #66 - Fall of an Empire Written by David Newton (Wong) Completed on 24/08/2004 Length: 12min 40sec wongchungbang_hotmail.com --- The first time this melody appeared it was in a five-minute instrumental over four channels that I released not long after starting with Modplug Tracker. At that time, like all my work, the song didn't have a concrete subject, but at the time I thought it was one of the best tunes that I'd ever released. It's a complex melody that I could only write very basically at the time. I still liked it, though, and I've made many false starts at updating it to my current style. I think that this time it's worked, with the addition of a storyline that fitted the title perfectly. The storyline, which will be instantly recognisable to fans of the series it is based on, may seem like a strange choice for the subject of a song, but it turned out to lend itself very well - it's a very dark plot for something which used to be so innocent. This song was written in the least ordered way I've ever done, with the intro, "And she was born...", compound time section, and "All that was left..." being done first, in that order. Pieces were added bit by bit until the whole story (and the song) was connected. It's also not got the usual form that many of my others have - there is a recurring theme to it, but there is no strict structure and very little "chorus" repetition. --- Guardian, tell me the tale of why you're here Why do you exist, why can you never leave Alone in a dark place away from the world Watching from an island above the clouds We came to the land and we built up our empire Mighty nation to stand the test of time The land adorned with temples and pyramids Standing over the world, the race of mine Fighting our wars, we took even more land Until it seemed that the world was our own Our power so great we never believed that Anything could break our walls down Never prepared for the fall of our empire Unkmowing, we lived in greed Taking all the world for ourselves And the treasures were our only need Somewhere far below the earth Lay the force of the emeralds Of all the treasures in the world This one we could not take And she was born the child of the king The successor to the throne And unlike them, their way of war, she wished The world to be at peace The shrine was guarded by chaos A peaceful force within Befriended by the child One free from greed and sin Seven chaos are the servers Enriched by heart and soul The seven to be unified The master of them all The king lamented the loss of his mother In despair he led the charge Prepared to kill his only daughter And the protector force, the temple's guard But the chaos was born from hatred And anger fuelled its soul Absorbed the force to defend the innocent And in vengeance, killed them all There's no mercy that you give And none you'll be shown On your hatred I will feed You will suffer for your greed The extinction of my race Before my very eyes Cast my soul to the emerald The force and I will never die Seven chaos are the servers Enriched by heart and soul The seven to be unified The master of them all All that was left of our world An island in the heavens And all that remained of our race Was waiting for the time to awaken And I was born the son of the empire Crystal light fell on my face I saw and I knew that I must defend This remnant of my race Our empire was destroyed by our greed I was shown it in a dream And I will remain out here alone So our empire will never fall again
