Master of the Graveyard (song)

"Praise and worship our Master."

- Servants

Master of the Graveyard is a song released by Akuno-P on May 9, 2010 in the Evils Forest album. It is part of the End of the Four series, serving as the leitmotif of the Master of the Graveyard.

Plot
The two Servants open the song as they chant for people to respect their Master, with Evil's Forest as her feasting ground. They speak of how she was reborn as the "Queen of the Dead" in Evil's Theater, calling her the "Evil Food Eater Girl." The duo expresses their Master's wish to devour everything and begin the preparations to cook all intruders. The Master of the Graveyard welcomes someone into the graveyard, asking how they would like to be prepared. In the end, she states she will still eat them "to their last bone."

The song continues on to relate how the Gardener provided some "entertainment," entrusting her body and life to the daunting woman. Eventually she, too, will be devoured by her. As the song ends, the Servants note that one day everything will end, but until that day, they will keep partying.

Composition
Kagamine Rin and Len's ACT2 voicebanks are used primarily, sometimes a radio filter is used, with backing from MEIKO utilizing the VOCALOID voicebank. Bass guitar is used prolifically, along with synth drums, regular drums, and french horn; synthesizers are heard as well.

An instrumental opens up the song, accompanied by a rollicking bass, and the song's vocals officially begin at 0.13, followed by the opening chanting at 0.28. The song's melody drops at 0.42, and the first verse begins. By 1.10, the chorus begins, and fades into a second round of chanting, several lines by MEIKO accompany the chanting. At 1.51, all music comes to a halt, but at 1.53, the music begins again with the second verse. At 2.22, the chorus is reprised, followed by an instrumental bridge at 2.37. At 2.50, the song switches key, but reverts at 3.05, with the third and final chorus immediately following. At 3.35, a piano melody can be heard, following the exact same melody as the chorus. At 3.47, the final chanting can be heard. At 4.00, additional drums can be heard, and at 4.13, only bass can be heard, in a similar fashion to the opening. The song ends at 4.17.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The song's English title, "Graveyard party", is a reference to Evil Food Eater Conchita's English title, "Beelzebub party"; in the final verse, the Servants acknowledge their master's machinations as "partying".

Curiosities

 * In Evils Forest, the song is preceded by an instrumental titled "Welcome to the Forest", using several of the same instruments and sound effects later heard in Master of the Graveyard.
 * At the beginning, middle, and end of the song, the Servants chant the romanized phrase "hai" repeatedly, with the lyrics distinguishing each repetition as a different word written in Japanese kanji.
 * In the Evils Forest booklet, an introduction is seen before the song lyrics, describing the gruesome fate of those who wander in the graveyard; each of the servants chanted words are used in the introduction: deserted, cup, worship, creeping, loser, back, lungs, ashes.
 * Ironically, the Master of the Graveyard only speaks for a small portion of the song during the middle chant, with her Servants singing for the entirety of the song in her stead.
