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]
In a realm where shadows whisper,
'neath the ancient, starlit sky,
Lies a kingdom lost to memory,
Where the echoes dare not die.
Through the darkened, twisted pathways,
Roam the spirits bound by plight,
In the silence, one moves onward,
Braving void and endless night.

[Chorus]
Oh, hear the fallen, their echoes call,
Through ancient depths, where shadows fall.
Rise again, oh spirits brave,
In silent halls of the forgotten grave.

[Verse 2]
With a blade as sharp as sorrow,
Carved from whispers of despair,
Wanderer of forgotten hollows,
Finds the strength when none is there.
Soul of silence, heart unyielding,
Faced with trials none could bear,
Each battle more revealing,
Of the burdens they must wear.

[Bridge]
Awaken dreams in silence cast,
Challenge the storm, embrace the vast.
In darkest night, a light so grim,
A spark ignites from within.

[Chorus]
Oh, hear the fallen, their echoes call,
Through ancient depths, where shadows fall.
Rise again, oh spirits brave,
In silent halls of the forgotten grave.

[Verse 3]
Beneath the weight of ages,
In the courts where shadows dance,
Fights the keeper of the legacies,
For a fleeting, fighting chance.
Mystic seals and ancient echoes,
Bound by fate's relentless hand,
Through the veil of darkest secrets,
Strives to heal the blighted land.

[Chorus]
Oh, hear the fallen, their echoes call,
Through ancient depths, where shadows fall.
Rise again, oh spirits brave,
In silent halls of the forgotten grave.

[Outro]
In the heart of fallen kingdoms,
Where the silent sagas end,
Rests the hope of dawn's redemption,
Where the broken finally mend.
Through the void and through the shadows,
Through the gates of night so stark,
Rises one, the light's lone herald,
Keeper of the ember's spark.
