Overview
I’m short on material again this week—or rather, the iOS version of Exotic Poker has hit a major roadblock during the review process, bringing everything to a complete standstill. So, as usual, I’ll share some tracks I created using Suno.
Lately, I’ve been composing music for an RPG I’m developing, and I feel I’ve reached a sufficient volume of tracks. That said, my YouTube uploads in the style of anime or game songs tend to get more views, so I plan to continue creating music in that vein. For this piece, I chose a “necromancer” theme; the lyrics depict a necromancer losing their temper because the spirits they’ve summoned refuse to obey. Incidentally, the phrase “You’re Already Dead” is the English translation of the iconic line “Omae wa mou shindeiru (お前はもう死んでいる)” (You’re already dead) from Fist of the North Star. The lyrics I’ve written are as follows:
The Lyrics
🎵 Work, You’re Already Dead!
[Intro]
Wake up! Kick the gravestone down!
We’ve got enemies in town!
Rise and shine, my bony crew—
I’ve got a job for you!
[Verse 1]
Black robe flying, staff held high,
Summon the skeletons—time to fight!
“Form a line! Now march ahead!”
Every skull just bows instead.
“No-no-no, we’re scared to death!”
“We’d rather go back underground!”
Your contract seals are glowing bright—
So WHY are you all crying now?!
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s no exit, no escape,
You crawled right out of your own graves!
I grab your chattering jaws and say:
“It’s an order! MOVE! TODAY!”
[Chorus]
“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
YOU’RE ALREADY DEAD!
Why are you panicking now instead?!
“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
YOU’VE GOT NO PULSE!
Your heart hasn’t beaten in ages, you dolts!
If you keep stalling, I’ll charge ahead,
Stomp through the circle and wake the dead!
I’m your necromancer—follow my lead!
I’ll drag you kicking and screaming to victory!
[Verse 2]
“They look too strong!” “The night’s too cold!”
“This helmet’s heavy!” “My joints feel old!”
Excuses? Wow, you’re professionals—
DON’T SWEAT! YOU DON’T HAVE SWEAT GLANDS AT ALL!
“Princess, mercy! Please, we beg!”
“Can we write our wills again?”
A hundred minions, scared as one—
The Coward Corps has begun!
[Pre-Chorus]
If I revived you, get to work!
We’ll talk about your pay… eventually.
Quit those shaking, rattling hands—
Come on, troops! ATTACK ON THREE!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—
“Can we reconsider?”
NO!
[Chorus]
“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
YOU’RE ALREADY DEAD!
Why do you look worse than when you had breath?!
“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
OH, GIVE ME A BREAK!
Crying after death is just cheating the game!
If you keep stalling, I’ll charge ahead,
Raise up my staff—make way for the dead!
I’m your necromancer, follow me through!
If hell is the destination—
I’M DRAGGING YOU TOO!
[Bridge]
“But getting stabbed still really hurts!”
“We don’t wanna die a second time!”
“We just want to rest in peace!”
“We have rights!”
…Huh?
Did none of you read the contract?!
[Break — Super Fast]
Article One!
KILL THE ENEMY!
Article Two!
PROTECT YOUR PRINCESS!
Article Three!
NO CRYING ON DUTY!
Questions?
Complaints?
Union representative?
DENIED! DENIED! DENIED!
[Final Chorus]
“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
YOU’RE ALREADY DEAD!
How many times must I get this through your heads?!
“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
THEN FIGHT BESIDE ME!
I never said you had to be my meat shield—jeez!
If we win, maybe I’ll praise you a bit!
If we lose, then I’ll yell till you get over it!
One bratty necromancer, one undead crew—
Immortal idiots, LET’S BREAK ON THROUGH!
Hey!
Hey!
Rattle those bones!
Hey!
Hey!
No going home!
Raise your swords and make some noise—
DEAD MEN WALKING, DEAD MEN EMPLOYED!
[Outro]
“So, Princess… where’s the next enemy?”
…
THAT’S WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR
FROM THE START!
The Generated Song
Among the songs generated, the ones I personally liked are listed below. I had ChatGPT provide English translations, and it suggested that, given the overall vibe, a more comical musical style might be a better fit than rock. Consequently, I incorporated pop-oriented terms into the “Style Description” to achieve a somewhat chaotic, “denpa-song” (eccentric/quirky) style of vocal delivery.
