Xander Martin requested a WL4 cover of this from me. Unlike some of his past requests this one seemed easy enough to warrant actually following up on. So I took a stab at it. 

At first I was using WarioWare, inc. as my standard for which sounds I could use. Actual Flute and Pan Flute sounds would be open to me this way, and the choir as well. 
[30,2] was an absolute shoe-in for the chorused plucked string, so that was obviously the first thing I did. I also went to the trouble of making this with Sappy playback in mind, unlike some of my other recent WL4 covers. 

Because of these 2 things I'd been flip-flopping on the idea of going full Arabian Nights with this waarangement. Finding ways of limiting the # of sound channels and # of voices while keeping audio seamless put the idea of also limiting myself to base WL4 instruments (justl ike good old day) in mind. 

So, after the initial arrangement was finished, I basically halted production for a while. I finally took a drug holiday this week, and I may resume it tomorrow (not sure just yet).
But anyway, today I came back to work on it a little more, since I remembered not being satisfied with it where it was. I did a bunch of patch event changes, and spruced up the choir part (which is now strings). 
For a while I had the 1st Flute set to be the Soft Electric Piano, but ended up changing it to [113,2], the Arabian Nights shanai. I ended up leaving the echo as [5,2] though, because it sounded like an echo for just the flutier portion of [113,2]'s sound. This gives the illusion that the lead is a doubling.

Necromicide - Necromicide OST

[Verse 1]
Soaring high, breach the sky at 4600 feet,
Charizard, a blaze of glory, no retreat,
Rocks melt as he passes, heat in his beat,
Tail alight, eternal flame, none can defeat.

[Chorus]
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, fly so high,
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, touch the sky,
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, never die,
Fire in his soul, watch him defy.

[Verse 2]
Mega X, dragon's heart, fierce in the night,
Gigantamax, a vision, breathtaking flight,
Cards that claim fortunes, a collector's dream bright,
Merch beyond measure, his legend alight.

[Chorus]
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, fly so high,
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, touch the sky,
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, never die,
Fire in his soul, watch him defy.

[Bridge]
With a roar that echoes, earth to the core,
He claims the skies, legend of lore,
Burning desire, forever more,
Charizard reigns, hear his victorious roar.

[Chorus]
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, fly so high,
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, touch the sky,
Charizard, yeah yeah yeah, never die,
Fire in his soul, watch him defy.

[Outro]
See him rise, a spectacle in the night,
Flames painting the sky, a mesmerizing sight,
Charizard, the inferno, his power ignites,
In his wake, only awe, as he takes his flight.
