This sounds like background music for an enemy who's boss title is 'The Mad God of the Stage'! I can almost see them singing along, while using stage props, set pieces, and parts of the stage itself to fight you. Like, you have to dodge a sandbag falling from above as the boss launches themself in the air with the attached set piece for an aerial attack, or dodge trapdoors in the stage floor, or you step in the wrong place and the turntable built into the floor starts spinning so fast you get launched into a wall or something. Meanwhile the boss is having the time of their life kicking your butt with absolute flair!
You cross your limits this time, Dark Matter! It's fabulous how harmonically and melodic it sounds. The sound effects united with the usual elegant and persuasive Villain voice make everything so deep connected with one being! Like when you are at the cinema with the 3D glasses.
Lyrics: The lights come down The world's my set Each life a story they'll soon forget I pull the strings They dance in chains A symphony built from their joys and pains Every act begins with a spark A tragedy blooms in the velvet dark I craft their fates with a subtle hand Directing chaos they can't understand They bow to the script They play their part Unwitting pawns in my grandest art Curtains rise The show begins A masterpiece, wrought of their sins Lines rehearsed But none will see The spotlight shines alone on me A lover's quarrel A kingdom's fall An empire built just to burn it all All their hopes are props Their dreams my stage Each fleeting moment a turn of the page No free will, no chance to stray They'll dance my tune till the final day Curtains rise The show begins A masterpiece, wrought of their sins Lines rehearsed But none will see The spotlight shines alone on me Do you feel the pull of my unseen strings? Your every move, the chaos it brings A puppet's life is such fragile art But every end must have its start Your pain is the melody, Your tears the refrain The crescendo rises with every refrain No encore awaits you No second act The story's finale is carved in fact Curtains rise The show begins A masterpiece, wrought of their sins Lines rehearsed But none will see The spotlight shines alone on me The lights go down The stage grows cold The players fall as the tale is told But I remain, the final breath The playwright's smile at their scripted death And as the silence claims its throne The director stands, entirely alone

When the Bard goes through their Villain arc.
I’ve been working on a bard sub class called death jester for a evil bard play though
This feels like the prequel to Your Final Act Is Nigh.
👍🏼
Oh yeah it does
Agreed
I was thinking Curtain Rises -> Your Final Act Is Nigh -> Ashes In My Wake make a nice performance themed arc.
The description does ask "will you dare to stay until the final act?" so it does seem like that was probably the intention.
Ok, there were a lot of comments talking about this under Final Act is Nigh but I think *this* captures the "Bard turned villain" idea perfectly

I guess similar to Billie Bust Up😅

When the director decides to evil
Just randomly opened RUclips on a whim…
This is totally Terry Silver
Everything is a show to him and he always puts on the best ones.
The spotlight shines alone on me, ya just take my money
I have been jamming out to this tune for last hour
I think of incoming T and the chaos he knows he will bring…such a scary and appropriate song!😢🥺😱😭
Scared more of V than T. He is the puppet for the Billionaire oligarchs.😭
This reminds me of Legend from the book series : Caraval 🎪
Lyrics:
The lights come down
The world's my set
Each life a story they'll soon forget
I pull the strings
They dance in chains
A symphony built from their joys and pains
Every act begins with a spark
A tragedy blooms in the velvet dark
I craft their fates with a subtle hand
Directing chaos they can't understand
They bow to the script
They play their part
Unwitting pawns in my grandest art
Curtains rise
The show begins
A masterpiece, wrought of their sins
Lines rehearsed
But none will see
The spotlight shines alone on me
A lover's quarrel
A kingdom's fall
An empire built just to burn it all
All their hopes are props
Their dreams my stage
Each fleeting moment a turn of the page
No free will, no chance to stray
They'll dance my tune till the final day
Curtains rise
The show begins
A masterpiece, wrought of their sins
Lines rehearsed
But none will see
The spotlight shines alone on me
Do you feel the pull of my unseen strings?
Your every move, the chaos it brings
A puppet's life is such fragile art
But every end must have its start
Your pain is the melody,
Your tears the refrain
The crescendo rises with every refrain
No encore awaits you
No second act
The story's finale is carved in fact
Curtains rise
The show begins
A masterpiece, wrought of their sins
Lines rehearsed
But none will see
The spotlight shines alone on me
The lights go down
The stage grows cold
The players fall as the tale is told
But I remain, the final breath
The playwright's smile at their scripted death
And as the silence claims its throne
The director stands, entirely alone
