arkel Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi all! I'm a composer with a really strong interest in Fire Embem (obviously) as well as musical theater. This got me thinking, what would it be like if Fire Emblem games had been musicals? This composition of mine begins to answer that question. I hope you enjoy "I Challenge My Fate" sung by Lucina (and performed by some very talented friends I go to school with). https://soundcloud.com/jay-maenhout/i-challenge-my-fate [spoiler={Lyrics}] EMMERYN: I ask that you hear the truth of my words. War will win you nothing but sadness and pain. Free yourself of pain, of hatred, and of vengeance. See how one selfless act can change the world. LUCINA: Aunt Emmeryn... I'm sorry I failed you. I'm sorry I wasn't good enough. I'm sorry I couldn't save you From what fate had planned. Fate cannot be challenged, Fate cannot be defied. Aunt Emmeryn, I tried so hard to save you, But in the end, you still died. ... No! I cannot live without you, Father. Not anymore. You need to live, for me and for all those who love you. I challenge you, Fate. Give me one more fight, one more round. I say when it ends, So let the cheers of my people resound. You will not stop me, 'Cuz destiny's something That you create. I challenge my fate! Whatever it takes, I'll beat you however I can. Our bonds are strong, Stronger than your scripted plan. Hope will never die And I'll scream it to the sky! My life isn't something that anyone else can dictate. I challenge my fate! Even if I fail a million times, I'll stand to try once more. I know my future's not set in stone. Time to spread my wings and soar! I challenge you, Fate! I'll not promise to stay my blade. I'm coming for you, So you better start to pray. I'm taking charge of my life. I don't have a second to wait. I challenge my fate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 This is quite impressive. Really like this honestly; the lyrics are both good and deep. Keep up the good work! (btw, looked up your other stuff as well, fairly enjoyable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciarre Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Wow, that was awesome! I love musical theater and I enjoyed that quite a bit - I really dig the composition itself too. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melo the Mage Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Holy wow. I really like this. Your friend did an absolutely amazing job singing this. It gave me chills. I usually am not a huge fan of Musicals (though there are exceptions) This would definately be an acception. I hope to see (and hear) more from you in the future!
