Death Note Musical English NY Demo: The Game Begins lyrics

Freakin near..... I know u cheated..................

The Game Begins
Alternate English Lyrics

[Verse one]
Empty your mind of any theories
Till all the facts are in...
He can't kill blind, their ends are dreary...
Can't wait for things to begin
You feel superior by thinking backwards
Your effects reveal there cause
But even perfect crimes have perfect flaws...

I'll never buy into your "solutions"
The world will stay the same
A case of mind and evolution
Determines who wins the game
I poke and prod to find a weakness
So then your "bend" begins to break...
I'll make the most of Kira's first mistake ;)

[Hook]
The game begins the same way!
A villian calm, quite, and cool...
Thinking he's right is insane!
That is the truth behind this fool...

The game begins...

[Verse Two]
A kilobyte of information
And soon a corner's turned
Anticipate his adaptation Ha!
That way this Martyr burns...

A simple taunt, a substitution
Will draw you in and then...
Your arrogance will draw you out again!!!

[Hook2]
The game begins the same way!
I look for patterns on the screen
Try to scare me off the case...
You'll find I'm stronger than I seem!

The game begins the same way!
The chase is on, your time has past!
I'll never rest my pupils...
Until this false god dies outclassed!!!

The Game Begins!!!

This is why L is a detective. Not for the justice, but for the GAME. The adrenaline and energy, the emotion, the rise in his ego... it’s what he lives for. That’s why you see his mental state deteriorating through the anime, he’s not used to being wrong. Kira is slowly winning. But L hates to lose, so this is just another layer of the game. This is where his irrational determination comes from. His sense of ‘justice’ comes from the feeling of being right, and the thrill of winning a twisted game. Both stalemate and playing his game prove this theory, though they aren’t canon. But I have to wait till all the facts are in and analyse by working backwards.

I love the high note, when he says 'Last'.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! 😍😍😍

これはCD発売されてるのかな、、？
ほしい！すごくほしい！

Can I buy the Demo song on cd so I can listen to them while no online?I just really like them and don't want to turn on my laptop just to listen to my favourites.

Okay okay but am I the only one realizing this sounds like Secrets and Lies? Especially the chorus? The connections though...

I love it 👏👏👏 wonderful job i love L

This is absolutely my favorite song in the soundtrack. Jarrod’s voice is so spectacular and powerful.

My favorite song of the musical, "Where is the justice" being a close second. It's such a dynamic song

I've listened to this 10 times and I still wanna watch it again its so good

I got hotel California vibes from this

This was only in 2017??!? That's when my death note phase was hot noo

I love how they say "the game begins the same way" bc a lot of people forget L has other cases. L has been through this kind of thing a million times, whereas Light hasn't. This is Light's only thing. But L has done this so many times he doesn't expect to lose at all.
and also how they have the piano that reminds us all of L's theme in the anime. it's, great

He’s the last major character to be introduced in the musical, but boy, is it worth the wait.

We love you, L!

Sometimes I get the feeling he sings about school...

Why is every single song an absolute banger

Does anyone have the sheet music for this?

Bet that when this does come to Broadway/the West End, all the fans will shriek when he appears on stage.

85 south show

I would love an actual proshot of the show I would love to see a spinning shot of L analysing the data

Ah, I love this song. He has such a great voice; I wish we could see this on the stage.

i’m over here scrolling through the comments to see the lyrics and they’re right in front of me-

IM GONNA CRY EVERYONE PLAYING L DOES SUCH A GOOD JOB. DONT COME FOR ME BUT EVEN THE NETFLIX MOVIE ACTOR FOR L, DESPITE BEING THE WRONG RACE, WAS OKAY. He said after getting the script it was disappointing. Further proof that all whom play the character of L Lawliet, officially earn my love and undying respect. Except for when I sing this song. Even tho I've had like 5 years of choir training, I somehow still sound like a dying bird. Anyways, L supremacy

Somehow I didn’t notice this until now. The chorus for this and Secrets and the lies are very similar

It's been 3years but I still listening to this hahaha

This is my favorite song of the musical. I love how it highlights the thrill L get's from the game. He's a dectective for the thrill, a game of wits and pride. It is so amazing

Just realizing that the chorus sounds exactly the same as the one in Secrets and Lies. That's perfect.

"Even perfect crimes have perfect flaws"

What's the Iq of L it's probably more than 9000!

I want to know the name of the actor who interpret L

When I am debugging my code:

Wht tf did my math/ social studies teacher send this link in the class chat...?

The chorus is like 1 key off from Light’s part in the chorus of Secrets and Lies. You could swap the choruses of these songs and you probably wouldn’t notice right away. I love that so much. It’s like this song is L just laying out his Norma routine that he does for every case, and then Kira comes along and both Light and L start to lose some of their sanity in Secrets and Lies

THIS SONG CAPTURED L'S ESSENCE, I CANT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS

THE WAY THERE ARE BITS OF THE DEATH NOTE MUSIC MAKES ME SO HAPPY

Catchy song

It's one of my favorite number
Thank you~

HARD

This is the most autistic INTP song I've ever heard, I LOVE IT (coming from an autistic INTP myself)

The songs in the musical are so catchy!

T. F. Allen's channel has been deleted, copyright laws and such. This is a huge blow to our already tiny fandom, and I hope it gets resolved soon. The lyrics he got from the writers are still available on the wiki, and I will continue to post these demo versions. Please, if you have any contact with him, I'd like to know.
