(Cong Zheng, Solaria) The Shadows Crawl In Closer (Reprise) (Synth V Cover)

(Lyrics at the bottom) German Version: https://youtu.be/gVEyVQWyufI Japanese Version: https://youtu.be/IftxuAC3xGc Synthesizer V English cover of Die Schatten Werden Länger (Reprise) , from Elisabeth das Musical Original song written by: Michael Kunze, Sylvester Levay Voicebanks: Cong Zheng (Der Tod), Solaria (Rudolf) Instrumental: @MikomiShibasaki English lyrics/Tuning: Thannondov (I blame sleep deprivation for anything weird/imperfections in the English lyrics 'v' ) Oookay, finally it's done!! FINI!!! Hope you like these covers!! The addition of Cantonese Chinese phonemes and more natural-sounding pronunciations across all phonemes have made cross-lingual tuning even easier (esp. French and German), thank you Dreamtonics QvQ (Small complaint tho, some of Solaria's o-sounding phonemes are less clear now. Also ANRI's rendering sometimes randomly produces large chunks of audio that sound distinctly down-sampled...) The German version reused about 40% of the English version's tuning for Der Tod, much lower than expected tbh, given that both use the sane voicebank. These covers took forever, listening to the same song for countless times had made my ears so numb, lol, but I'm so glad I finished them! English Lyrics: Death: Finally we meet face-to-face Let us talk before it's too late You know me. Yeah, you know me... Remember the promise I made? Back when you were young and afraid - "I am with you, now and always..." Rudolf: Oh, I'd never forget your gaze, the friend I call when my will's most strained And as my fears sing their dark refrain... Death: I came, when you called my name! Both: The shadows crawl in closer No one hears the whispers of their doom They dance around their fire, to a drumbeat that leads them to their tomb The shadows crawl in closer It is almost time - the end will be here soon Rudolf: Time to witness the world's demise, wish I could for once turn the tide But I'm frozen, standing aside, my hands bound, nothing left to try... Death: Is it not painful to resign and watch evil destroy what it will? Helpless, as the dying sunlight... Rudolf: It's tearing me inside! Both: The shadows crawl in closer All their chants have become cold and shrill! The choking grasp grows tighter, yet they think still that their fate's not sealed The shadows crawl in closer It is almost time - why are they standing still? Death: What are you waiting for? This is your golden chance! Reach for the throne - mark it as your own!! Rudolf: My throne?! Both: The shadows crawl in closer The wheels of time will start to roll The choking grasp grows tighter, someone needs to break us from its hold! The shadows crawl in closer Emperor Rudolf will rise up and save this world!
