Wise Men Die, The Fool Likewise – Pt 1 (Psalm 49)
High-energy melodic power metal in a major key, with a driving synth line and prominent electric guitars playing both rhythmic power chords and harmonized melodic lead lines. Synth has a corny chunky 80s feel. Multi-layer harmonized lead vocals with Paulstretch effect. Mid to low range tenor vocalists trade off carrying the melody, but sing interwoven harmonies for climactic builds. Uptempo rhythm (tempo: 140-150). Production includes a bright, punchy mix with heavy reverb on vocals and guitars, giving a spacious, arena-rock sound. The song features generous instrumental breaks for complex arpeggiated instrumental harmonic interplay, building in intensity towards the climax. The inspiring climax provides a fittingly enthusiastic and powerful finale for an arena concert. Intense & inspiring, cyber synth anime theme, vibrant, clean vocals, movie theme

Lyrics
To the chief Musician: A Psalm for the sons of Korah ben Izhar, ben Kohath, ben Levi, ben Israel.
[Verse]
Hear this all ye people!
Give ear all ye inhabitants of the world: Both low and high, Rich and poor together!
I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my dark saying upon the harp
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
They that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.
None of them can by any means redeem his brother nor give to God a ransom for him.
[Pre-Chorus]
My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding
[Chorus]
For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever,
That he should still live forever and not see corruption.
[Solo]
[Verse]
For he seeth that wise men die, the fool likewise
And the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is that their houses shall continue forever,
And their dwelling places to all generations;
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding
