		Oh, it'll be very much in keeping with the series itself, but...  I've dug up some info, possibly stuff Bepapas and Chiho Saito used as inspiration, and I'm going to be running with it.  Some of the seeds for those plot elements are already laid in the scene above.

		Good question.  I'm not sure.  I'm not planning for anything on the scale of the movie, but I'm going to certainly need it for proper flavor.  In fact, my current plans open the entire story with a Shadowgirl scene of suitable opacity. 
Hm. 
I guess the best answer at this very early stage is that if everything goes as I anticipate, there won't be bits that play with your head for the sole purpose of playing with your head, but some of the ideas will certainly set it spinning.

		Nah, not enough stuff to bounce the balls off of for that. Dragonforce's _Valley of the Damned_ might do - it has an inauspicous name, but the lyrics are about slappin' down evil 'with the power of the almighty sword' ... let's see if I can find some lyrics. 
... 
Arrr. Odd, it soesn't seem to have the line I was thinking of, maybe that's in _Black Winter Night._ It's a good triumph-over-eeevil type song anyway, and does mention lots of shining swords and things. It could pinch in a do. 
I have this on mp3 if someone wants one - it used to be on mp3.com and I suppose may someday be again. 
 
From the album "Valley Of The Damned" 
 
On a cold dark winter night  
Hidden by the stormy light  
A battle rages for the right  
For what will become  
In the valley of the damned  
A warrior with sword in hand  
Travels fast across the land  
For freedom he rise  
And the sign from the master on high  
He screams a loud and across hear the cry  
For the kingdom of fire and ice  
And the power to be alive  
Four strong ride on carry on through the war  
Four strong carry on living for ever more  
On the wings of death  
By the hands of doom  
By the darkest light  
From the darkest moon  
Crossing silent seas  
Over mountains high  
All will stand as one tonight  
On the black wind forever  
We ride on together  
Destroying your evil with freedom my guide  
When the master will call us  
He stands high before us  
Our hearts filled with splendour  
Our swords will shine over the light  
In the valley of the damned  
Days breaks with golden strand  
Over pastures green it glows  
To where night returns  
On the shadows faces appear  
Warriors wearing full metal gear  
Join together one and all  
Before the glorious light  
Rise up gather around come and hear what is said  
Use your senses open your mind don't you ever forget  
On the wings of life  
By the hands of hope  
By the brightest light  
From the brightest sun  
Crossing silent seas  
Over mountains high  
To the valley of the damned  
On the black wind forever  
We ride on together  
Destroying your evil with freedom my guide  
When the master will call us  
He stands high before us  
Our hearts filled with splendour  
Our swords will shine over the light  
On the black wind forever  
We ride on together  
Destroying your evil with freedom my guide  
When the master will call us  
He stands high before us  
Our hearts filled with splendour  
Our swords will shine over the light

 A quick Google on the lyric you provided turns up three pages with lyrics for the album "Valley of the Damned", and yes, the line is from the song "Black Winter Night". 
Both of them look at first glance like good songs for kicking ass in the name of all that is right; I might want to go look for these...

		I've been looking for all manner of "sword" songs, already, either for powers or as theme music.  This is one I've missed...  maybe I should just google on "sword lyrics"

		Power Symphony - The Way of the Sword 
 
For she who steps on the way of the sword 
The path gets harder at every turn 
Sanctuary shell find no more 
Among the people of her lot 
She will leave the past behind 
The Goddess knows what she is to find 
Past is left behind 
For the one on the way of the sword 
Fools are meant to fall 
Theyll get lost along the way 
Past is left behind 
For the one on the way of the sword 
Fools are meant to fall 
I am she whos on the way of the sword 
For she who knows notthe way she must walk 
Life is sweet but with little reward 
She who wields a sword 
Must be prepared to shed her blood 
Pain she must endure 
And know too well that she must be strong 
  
Past is left behind 
For the one on the way of the sword 
Fools are meant to fall 
Theyll get lost along the way 
Past is left behind 
For the one on the way of the sword 
Fools are meant to fall 
I am she whos on the way of the sword 
So many farewells 
Many tears you must shed before your journey ends 
Or its only just begun 
For a glory wish there is much to sacrifice 
So many farewells 
Many tears you must shed before your journey ends 
Or its only just begun 
For a glory wish there is much to sacrifice 
Past is left behind 
For the one on the way of the sword 
Fools are meant to fall 
Theyll get lost along the way 
Past is left behind 
For the one on the way of the sword 
Fools are meant to fall 
I am she whos on the way of the sword 
 
Blessed be.

Only a lot...  Went to Power Symphony's website and downloaded the MP3 of this song.  Weird sound, kinda like Manowar plays Clannad with Anne Wilson singing lead.  Not sure I like it.  Gonna have to listen to it some more.

		Did you notice they have a music video of it up, too? It's on a page of its own, linked from the little flashing "Free video!" square-ad-looking-thing on the bottom left of the music page.  
- CD,  who made Far Too Much soup 
Edit: My mistake, it's from the main page, not the music page

		Oh, yeah, CD, I got the video, too.  Moody lighting and gothy girl lead singer, interspersed with bad SCA live-steel choreography.  It did nothing for me except keep the song firmly in "do I really like this?" territory...

		If you haven't sent off that CD yet today, why not burn it to a CD-ROM and include it?
