Ghost Trick Musical (FINAL CHAPTER): Final Chance (demo)
I DID IT, I DID A DEMO OF THE CONVOLUTED-AS-HELL FINAL CHAPTER SONG
You might notice I slowed the tempo a tad and added four measures in at one part, if you’re really paying attention. This was mostly for ease of saying/singing the lines/lyrics.
Here’s the instrumental version!
Anyhoot! Lyrics lyrics lyrics!
Sissel:
I fell back through the cracks of time for what seemed like forever.
And then I saw it.
The final death, at the end of this long night…
Who exactly am I?
I’ve already seen all of the clues…
All I have to do now is remember.
The final journey to the truth…
…starts now.
Just when did he die, the blonde man in red?
Jowd:
For ten years, he’s already been dead.
Missile:
So now we’re traveling way back in time
Yomiel:
Starting from the moment of my crime
Sissel and Yomiel:
This will be our final chance!
*Jowd and Yomiel run on; Yomiel frantically decides to grab Lynne and holds a gun to her head shakily*
Jowd:
Now just calm down! And drop that weapon!
Yomiel:
S-stay back! If you come any closer, I’ll shoot her!
Sissel:
It’s begun now; time is ticking! Now’s the time to make our move, be-
-fore that meteor that stabbed your back changes our fates completely
Sissel and Jowd:
How on Earth are we supposed to keep you safe, away from dying
Sissel, Jowd, and Missile:
Fate’s a cruel mistress, but we will not fail for lack of trying
Sissel, Jowd, and Missile (simultaneously):
If we save him here and now, what will happen to these last ten years?
We’ll just have to step on forward, heeding none of our fears
Waiting for us when it’s over will be a brand new tomorrow
None of this will ever happen, no more tears and no more sorrow
Yomiel (simultaneously):
Given a new chance? It’s something I don’t deserve!
Murdered by their hands? How could I have had the nerve?
Chasing my revenge, I lost sight of truth itself
So that in the end I could only blame myself.
Sinking deeper down into my personal hell
Twisted me into something from that fiery well.
Now the very ones I’d been chasing to and fro
Stand here willing to take away my sorrow!
Sissel and Yomiel:
This will be our final chance!
Jowd:
We can’t move him from that spot, so we’ll have to change the meteor’s path instead…
Missile:
That should be easy with our powers!
Look at that sweet potato—I bet I could swap it with that nasty statue up there!
Sissel:
Good thinking, Missile! Here we go!
Now! Swap that statue with the lamp post—we’ll put it in the meteorite’s way!
Yomiel:
Wait a second! We changed the meteorite’s path, but now look what’s in its way!
Sissel:
N-nooo…!
Maybe we saved him but now look what’s done!
Jowd:
Put it down, Jowd, drop the goddamn gun!
Sissel:
Whatever reason, his aim is still true!
Jowd:
If you don’t, I know you’re going to
Sissel and Jowd:
Shoot away our final—!
Missile and Yomiel:
This will be our final—!
All:
—Chance!
Jowd:
I knew it… in the end, I still took his life away…
Missile:
I won’t let that happen!
Sissel:
The bullet is stopped in midair!
Missile:
I’ll swap it with something like before!
Jowd:
W-what?!
Sissel:
He’s right, Detective Jowd!
We won’t let you be a murderer; what made you pull the trigger’s there!
This isn’t going to be your fate!
Sissel:
Oh, no…
Yomiel:
Don’t worry—I’m still alive! I’m just unconscious!
Sissel:
But this is just too painful a fate!
Yomiel:
So long as I’m alive, that’s good enough for me.
Jowd:
W-wait! Look at Mino! The statue’s falling!
Missile:
Miss Lynne!!!
Sissel:
It’s not over yet!
Missile:
But what can the two of us do?!
Yomiel:
Don’t forget. I’m here, too.
Between the three of us, there is a way!
Sissel:
I won’t let her die, no, not today!
Missile:
And now the clock hands are ticking away!
Jowd:
If we fail, we’re not the ones to pay!

Sissel:
I’ll get you set up and you’ll take the lead!
Missile:
Just one more moment is all that we need!
Sissel:
If we can find a way to save her life—
Missile:
No—we will definitely save her life!

Yomiel:
I control life, and you control things!
Jowd:
Missile handles the rearranging!
Yomiel:
All that I need is a moment more!
Jowd:
One more moment to settle the score!

Betting on our final chance!
This will be our final chance!
