Razia’s Shadow is a musical, but it’s not a play or a movie, merely an album by a band called Forgive Durden. One of my favorites. Listening to it recently I began to see parallels between the story portrayed in the musical and the characters in the show Supernatural. I took that idea and created a picspam, illustrating my views and comparing the characters of the musical to the ones in the show. Here, I follow Sam Winchester’s storyline with the aid of basic plot and lyrics from the album. It’s chronologically ordered in terms of the show (spoilers for seasons three, four, and five), but skips around the musical’s storyline. Sam here follows first the path of Ahrima, and then that of Pallis. You can download the musical here: http://www.mediafire.com/?hynjldahtni. I hope you enjoy, and please do not repost/modify these graphics.
01. Genesis
All we did was thread the eye
of the silver splinter.
We simply planted the seed
and nursed it through winter.
The rest is up to you
02. The Missing Piece
You must be patient;
they will realize
what I see inside.
You were meant to rule this world
to greater things;
it’s your destiny.
03. Life is Looking Up
Could this be the day I have waited for,
when all my hard work doesn’t go ignored?
Maybe she was right, they will realize
I can change this world.
Open up their eyes.
04. The Spider and the Lamp
You have a special gift,
but they still treat you like you’re a kid.
It must hurt so bad,
with a knife in your back.
05. Toba the Tura
They say you’re gifted,
but I just see a scared kid.
06. The Oracle
You can’t escape your own skin.
07. The Exit
The dark has become so overwhelming,
so why don’t I just go?
Why can’t you be more like your brother?
Together you will rule the throne,
the evil and darkness will grow.
This kingdom needs you.
08. It’s True Love
Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been destined
for something bigger than your skin?
09. Meet the King
Please open both your ears,
there is something not right here.
I can’t place my finger on it,
but this young man’s filled with darkness.
10. Holy the Sea
It’s a story you may have heard before,
but this translation is clear
unlike the embellishments that have reached your ears.
11. Doctor Doctor
The strongest man would drop dead where he stands,
I urge that we make haste
if we are to stand a chance.
12. The End and the Beginning
You will take care of this spinning sphere,
I’ll disappear
and see you in the mirror.
The End
