Lyrics
This song contains spoilers for Blade Runner. Blade Runner is a movie directed by Ridley Scott and inspired by Phillip K Dick's book "Do androids dream of electric sheep?".
I'm experimenting with v4.5 to see how well it does with transitions. This song has a lot of vocal to instrumental transitions and it seemed to smooth out the abrupt transitions with added music e.g. drops and rises. It also did surprisingly well with improving vocal quality. Exceeded expectations, 9.5/10.
Intro
"In dystopian 2019 lived four rogue replicants."
"Artificial minds and identities and only four years of existence."
Verse 1
A former runner of the blade,
By Tyrell Dekker was hired.
A replicant killer by trade,
His job was to locate and retire.
Verse 2
Dekker first encountered Zhora,
A pleasure model for the populace,
Her job was to give euphoria,
But, there was more beneath her surface.
Dekker said he was from the union,
But she started to feel unease,
So Zhora ran away from him,
And he shot her in the back with ease.
Pre chorus 1
By Leon Dekker was attacked,
And Dekker nearly died,
But Rachael shot Leon's back,
And so Dekker survived.
Verse 3
Meanwhile Roy saw JF Sebastian,
Who set up a meeting with Tyrell,
But Tyrell denied Roy compassion,
So Roy sent him straight to hell.
Chorus 1
Roy, Pris, Zhora and Leon,
Fought to break their chains,
They wanted life and freedom,
But their tears were lost in the rain.
These rogue replicants four,
Enslaved by humanity,
They wanted to be more,
But their lives ended tragically.
Bridge 1
Dekker then found Pris,
A victim of circumstance,
She wanted so badly to live,
But Dekker didn't give her the chance.
Pre chorus 1
After Pris fell, Roy was distraught,
He was the only one left,
His mind was filled with dark thoughts,
And his heart felt bereft.
Bridge 2
"Roy fought with Dekker on a roof top, and then Dekker fell off the edge."
But, the battle stopped, when Roy pulled Dekker from the ledge.
"Roy showed compassion, to the blade runner that was hired."
He monologued with passion, til his artificial body expired.
Chorus 2
Roy, Pris, Zhora and Leon,
Fought to break their chains,
They wanted life and freedom,
But their tears were lost in the rain.
These rogue replicants four,
Enslaved by humanity,
They wanted to be more,
But their lives ended tragically.
