Heya everyone!

Here's my submission for P@D-Limelight: "Fallen Stars and Broken Swords"!
This song is quite unique, considering it doesn't follow the classic pattern most songs have (intro-verse-chorus-etc). I'd say that it can be considered as three small songs in one.

This track will be the only one regarding Shining Armor's arc in IE:Prequel (which I recently renamed as the "IEO x MLP crossover"). And, *finally*, you can see where Twilight is now (but not yet where she comes from and where she's heading to :p).
I have to say, I'm really happy how it turned out! Loved the top-line melody Scott composed for the vocals here, especially in the third part of the song!
Also, I reused the choir recording from "Praise Nerath" because I thought it fit well in the song and in the context.

Finally, big thanks to IRUSU for the fantastic artworks! The small animatic made with those really impact how one sees the song, imo.

In any case, as always, I hope you'll like this song!

Lyrics by Scott:

Here at last as I awake
The Crystal Empire’s beckoning
For a father
Where’s my wife and daughter?
I pray they’re well
Bright as a star in the night sky
Look how you both shine your light
I need my wife and my child
As well as my sister while
Facing the fear of night
Destruction and Nightmares
Brings with it problems, so beware
Crystalized beings are near
The undead army is here
The stench of their resurrection’s in the air

What’s that now approaching?
The army’s encroaching
Those beyond reproach
Should turn and run
Don’t look back, they’re coming
Say goodbye, start running
The end is incoming
The war is far from won
I’ll stay here with those left
We’ll fight here to the death
Until my dying breath
I shall defend you three
“I love you,” I hear you
Dear daughter, I’ll miss you
Embrace the seeds we have sewn
Now, run hard away from this zone
I will defend tooth and bone
Even if I die alone

Standing here, I look around
Everyone except me has fallen down
I’m exhausted, I can barely stand
I’m too tired to defend
Myself from any
Enemies that may be left
What is that I see…
Staring back at me
Could it really be
Those who raised me
As I cannot lift my sword
I shall pray to meet my end
Quickly, and if I should turn
That I’ll not see others burn
