Marathon Lyrics!
Posted By: Vid BoiDate: 8/22/03 1:54 p.m.

No, this has nothing to do with the thread below =)

I was listening to the Marathon songs and since they have melodies, they should have lyrics, and I'm surprised nobody has written lyrics to them before. (I'm also sad, because that means I had to do it, and I spent all day doing it and now that I'm finally finished I'm not at all pleased with the result, my rhyming sucks...)

Seriously, it's not TOO bad but in some places I *really* had to stretch it to make it fit together...and in the middle of the song I decided to make it follow the plot line, which it didn't for the first half :D

Before you read my lyrics to the song "Splash (Marathon)" (possibly track 13) please think of these two things:

1) Don't try to actually sing along, I don't think it's possible for anyone to sing the word "S'Pht'Kr" =P

2) Don't read them without listening to the song at the same time, I have discovered that they look very silly and corny if you don't read it to the right music and rhythm =D

Splash (Marathon)
music by Alexander Seropian,
lyrics by Vid Boi ^.^

Faint
So vague
A pale,
strange memory
Is this
something
that I
once saw before?

Marathon is calling, you must go, Durandal waits for you
Marathon is calling, you must go, go find the other two
Marathon is calling, you must go, Durandal waits for you
Marathon is calling, you must go, there's nothing else to do

Now I'm here
On board the Marathon
So quiet here
The crew seems to be gone

Shadows
There's Pfhor here
Their fighters are everywhere
Fight them, you must save the Marathon now

(some tunes without lyrics)

Find the S'pht
The Pfhor hold them as slaves
And free them all
They'll help battling the Pfhor

D...

U...

R...

A...

N...

D...

A...

L...

Now they know
The Pfhor know you are here
Avoid the crew that says:
"Thank God it's you!"

Marathon is calling, you must go, Durandal waits for you
Marathon is calling, you must go, go find the other two
Marathon is calling, you must go, Durandal waits for you
Marathon is calling, you must go, there's nothing else to do

Once again
I know I've seen this before
Or did I dream?
Too faint, I can't recall...

Tycho
The psycho
He wants Durandal dead
I'm not really sure if he's friend or foe

(some tunes without lyrics)

Sad, so sad
He was almost a friend
Durandal's gone
For Tycho got to him first

D...

U...

R...

A...

N...

D...

A...

L...

Now you're alone
The only hope
A fallen warrior

Go,
and wake him now
And find the S'pht'Kr
The Pfhor are closing in

There he lies
Go on, turn him back on
He lives, he helps
The lost clan will return

Marathon is calling, you must go, Durandal waits for you
Marathon is calling, you must go, go find the other two
Marathon is calling, you must go, Durandal waits for you
Marathon is calling, you must go, there's nothing else to do

Fight the Pfhor
with help from the S'pht'Kr
You can not lose
Durandal returns too

Closure
The Ending
Your work is now all done
You can return to the place whence you came

(some tunes without lyrics)

Faint, so vague
A pale, strange memory
Is this something
that I once saw before?
...or?
