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

[Intro]
Hey, let the blocks fall where they may
In this game, every day's a brand new play (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Step into the realm where the grass dances high
Pickaxe in hand, adventure's just a swing away
Build up your castle or dive into a cave
Every block you break, every path you pave
Got creepers to the left and zombies in the night
Craft your sword, get ready, set to fight

[Pre-Chorus]
How do you survive in a land so wild?
Every step you take, every stack you've piled
Gather all your courage, don't let it go
In this pixel realm, watch your myths arise

[Chorus]
Oh, light up the torches, light up the sky
No, no, no giving up, no time to shy
Oh, brave through the darkness, brave through the fright
Build, build, build it up, make it all right
Oh, from the overworld to the nether's fire
Oh yeah
Oh, hear the blocks clicking, setting your desire
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Deep down in the mine, where the rare ores hide
Strike the iron, let the furnace glow bright
Up above the clouds, where the sky cities lie
Fly with elytra wings, where the phantoms fly
Redstone circuits, a world of our creation
From simple shelters to complex automation

[Pre-Chorus]
How do you find peace in a realm so vast?
Build a little home, make those moments last
Every friend you make, every foe you meet
In this game of life, every challenge you defeat

[Chorus]
Oh, light up the torches, light up the sky
No, no, no giving up, no time to shy
Oh, brave through the darkness, brave through the fright
Build, build, build it up, make it all right
Oh, from the overworld to the nether's fire
Oh yeah
Oh, hear the blocks clicking, setting your desire
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
In the end, face the dragon's wrath
Standing strong, on our crafted path (Yeah, yeah)
Is it just a game or something more?
Every block we place, every lore we explore

[Chorus]
Oh, light up the torches, light up the sky
No, no, no giving up, no time to shy
Oh, brave through the darkness, brave through the fright
Build, build, build it up, make it all right
Oh, from the overworld to the nether's fire
Oh yeah
Oh, hear the blocks clicking, setting your desire
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (Blocks light up the sky)
Oh, light up the torches, light up the sky
No, no, no giving up, no time to shy
Oh, brave through the darkness, brave through the fright
Build, build, build it up, make it all right
Oh, from the overworld to the nether's fire
Oh yeah
Oh, hear the blocks clicking, setting your desire
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
