I recently finished Jericho on Netflix. I loved it, and decided to write two parody songs based on it. I like to think of this one as an epic anime opening, while the second one is a sad anime ending theme.
The lyrics are to the instrumentals of White Rabbit by Egypt Central
Enjoy!
Bright blue skies, strong family ties
So many stories yet to tell
Who'd know that in one day
It all would suddenly go to HELL!
Bombs sound, acid rains through the air
So begins our long despair
Cut from the world, true colors unveil
There are people just out to save their own skin
They all cheat in a game no one wins
We all fight for survival
How long till it turns primal?
Guns sounding, my heart's pounding
My friend points his gun at my head
Don't know what I'd prefer
Being here alive or being dead
I don't care anymore if it's Hell that I go
All I know is that I'll survive
Survive here in Jericho
I won't die, I'll survive
I will survive in Jericho
Winds blow the many flags made of lies
To hide the truth they don't care who dies
Life's a long road
So lock and load
Guns sounding, my heart's pounding
My friend points his gun at my head
Don't know what I'd prefer
Being here alive or being dead
I don't care anymore if it's Hell that I go
All I know is that I'll survive
Survive here in Jericho
I won't die, I'll survive
I will survive in Jericho
Don't point your gun at me
I will shoot first
Life's just as bad as death
So do your worst
Don't point your gun at me
I will shoot first
Life's just as bad as death
So do your worst
I don't care anymore if it's Hell that I go
Cause all I know is that I'll survive
Survive here in Jericho
Guns sounding, my heart's pounding
So many out there want me dead
Don't know who I can trust
Or who'll hold the next gun at my head
I don't care anymore if it's Hell that I go
Cause all I know is that I'll survive
Survive here in Jericho
Don't try and take me down
I'll make your death painful and slow
And while you die, I'll survive
I will survive in Jericho
