Scene Six — “Fire Ah Come”

From The First Fall: A Musical Origin of Humanity

Setting

Night. A flickering campfire burns near the edge of the village, not far from the hut where Abel and the Girl sleep. The land hums with distant crickets. The air is thick, restless. Cain sits alone beside the fire, the repaired staff across his knees, his eyes wild with reflection and restraint. The flames twist unnaturally — roaring, then whispering. The spirit of the lion, Haillion, takes form in shadow and ember. The voice begins softly — inside his thoughts, then around him.

Dialogue

CAIN:
(quiet, to himself)
I carried the staff. I kept my word.
But he—he took her smile. He took her song.
And now even the fire looks at me like him.

HAILLION (off, low growl within flame):
No, son of dust. The fire look at you because it know you.
The lion’s breath still inside your chest.
You conquered the beast — now claim what’s left.

CAIN:
Who speaks to me? Beast or ghost?
What truth burns that mercy hides?

HAILLION:
Neither ghost nor sin. I am what you freed.
The courage they fear. The strength they need.
You bore the flame — now wield it.
You were never born to kneel.

The fire swells. Drums pulse from silence — deep, reverberating heartbeats. The shadows bend, forming Haillion’s outline, regal and terrible. The first verse begins.

[Intro – Whispered Invocation]
Fire ah come — not to burn, but to cleanse. (Fire!)
Truth in the wound that never mends.
Brick by brick — the world pretend. (Yeah)
We see through lies — fire ah come. (Fire ah come…) [echo]
Rise, child of dust — take what’s yours, not what remain.
Claim what was promised — power born from pain.

[Verse 1 – The Whisper of Logic]
Not every flame come fi destroy,  
Some light reveal what others enjoy.  
You sweat, you toil, yet still they feast —  
They call him saint, but crown the beast.  
He gets their love, you get their need,  
You sow the ground — he takes the seed.  
The fire don’t punish — it define,  
Who bow to mercy… who draw the line.

[Hook – The Flame of Justification]
Fire ah come — not to burn, but to test. (Let it burn…)  
Not to curse, but to press the chest.  
Truth ain’t peace — it’s hunger, real.  
Some flames come fi make man feel.  
We talk, they hide — fire ah come. [echo] (Fire ah come!)

[Verse 2 – The Voice of Haillion]
I was king before the names began,  
Took what I wanted — made it mine again.  
The beast don’t sin — he just consume,  
The weak make cages, the strong make room.  
You ain’t wicked, just awake,  
They call it wrath — I call it take.  
Hold what’s yours, don’t bow, don’t run,  
The world respect who fear no sun.  

[Bridge – Whispered then rising with tension] [Female vocals only for bridge]
You ever wonder why they choose him?  
Why light bend toward those who dim?  
They fear the fire — you hold it calm.  
They call it rage — I call it psalm.  
You don’t strike first — but you been struck.  
This ain’t revenge… this balance. Just. (Just.)

[Final Hook – The Binding] [Male lead vocals only]
Fire ah come — not to burn, but to wake.  
To shake the ground. To split the fake.  
If the altar tilt — make it right.  
Truth ain’t mercy. Truth is might.  
Brick by brick — your time has come. (Let go.)  
They won’t see you — ‘til fire ah come. (Fire ah come…) [echo + reverb]

[Outro – Whispered Possession] [Male Lead Vocals]
Take what you’re owed.  
Call it truth.  
They fed on peace —  
You’ll feed on proof.
(Fire ah come…)
Fire Ah Come!
Fire Ah Come!

Staging During Song

As Cain sings, the flames rise and pulse with Haillion’s voice. The light shifts from orange to crimson. Every flash shows a different vision — Abel and the Girl laughing, Eve holding young Cain, the lion’s eyes blazing in smoke. At the Bridge, Eve’s voice enters faintly from behind the stage — a ghost of memory, motherly and mournful, reaching through the past. Cain kneels briefly, torn — then lifts his head as Haillion’s words drown her out. The final chant (Fire ah come!) explodes as Cain stands, eyes lit by the fire, the staff in his hand now resembling a weapon. The flames collapse into darkness.

Button

The campfire dies. Smoke curls like hands into the sky. Cain exhales, steady, unblinking. The lion’s growl fades — but its rhythm beats faintly beneath the silence. He looks toward the village. Toward Abel.
He walks off into the dark.
