Stalemate Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn, Jack Murphy, Ivan Menchell

Death Note: The Musical

0

[L: Verse 1]
Each time I challenge he responds
He takes the bait as if he's taunting me
He waves a hundred magic wands
And soon a hundred men just cease to be

I haven't figured out just how
He doesn't kill them with a knife or gun
But if you ask me here and now
I'm pretty sure Kira is your son

[Light: Verse 2]
I wonder if this guy's for real
I wonder is he who he claims to be
And if he is, then what's the deal?
Why would he make a point of telling me?

[L]
He doesn't rattle easily
He's such a calm and cool collected guy
And if he kills while he's with me
Like it or not, I have his alibi

[L, Light: Chorus]
All or nothing so let's get to it
This time's stalemate but
Just you wait
Clock is ticking so
Let's just do it
Let's begin, thick or thin, lose or win
This is it!

[Light: Verse 3]
His name is obviously fake
So he inoculates himself from me
He's waiting for my first mistake
So I'll wait also but more patiently

[L]
Just like two actors on a stage
Go through the motions that we both rehearse
Our little new atomic age
Eyeball to eyeball
We'll see who blinks first

[L, Light: Chorus]
All or nothing so let's get to it
This time's stalemate but
Just you wait
Clock is ticking so
Let's just do it
No taboos, light the fuse, win or lose
This is it!

[Misa: Bridge]
I know you're gonna love my brand new song
It's full of private, little, hidden clues
So we can find each other in a crowd
And when we do, you know I'm yours to use

I feel like we were born for just one thing
I know we're gonna be a perfect fit
You'll be my heart and I'll be your eyes
It's me and you forever
This is it!

[L, Light: Chorus]
All or nothing so let's get to it
This time's stalemate but
Just you wait
Clock is ticking so
Let's just do it

[L]
Let's begin!

[Light]
Light the fuse!

[L]
Go all in!

[Light]
Win or lose

[L]
Lose or win

[L, Light]
This is it!
