The Fugitive Man: A work in progress

This piece is intended to be a narrative that I will read over music I created myself. It's kinda like what Johnny Cash used to do except much less country-ish. I will present all this using iMovie.

Many years ago
On the desert plain
There was a fugitive man
Who had no name
The fugitive fled his home
Because the authorities
Wouldn't let him say
What he really believed
Every day he would travel
As far as he could
But his pursuers were on horseback
So it did him no good
The nameless man sook refuge
He hid every night
But he knew one day
He would have to stand and fight

One day the man stayed
In a small railroad town
Where it was peaceful and quiet
And there was no trouble to be found
But later that day
The men on horses they came
And they asked all the villagers:
"Where's the man with no name?"
The fugitive saw the men
And to their surprise
The fugitive saw the men
And to their surprise
The fugitive man stole a horse
When they diverted their eyes
All the men but chased him
But the fugitive vanished in the evening light
Today was not the day
He would have to stand and fight

A day passed by
The fugitive was asleep
But when he came to he saw
The saddle had a gun in a sheath
That's when he realized
He had to fight now for freedom rights
"I'm a man!" the fugitive cried
"Not a boy filled with fright!"
The man found another town
And he found a gun store
Because anything worth having
Is worth fighting for
So the man with no name
Shot at targets every night
He was preparing for the day when
He would have to stand and fight

Many moons passed
The fugitive grew strong indeed
Then the men on horses arrived
And they came upon a tree
On the tree was a letter that said
"I'm tired of this cat and mouse game
"We'll settle this east of here"
Signed"The Man with No Name"
The men rode out east
They never thought they'd see the day
Fire erupted from the Earth
And their horses ran away
To their front was the fugitive
To their backs flames oh so bright
And all hell broke loose
When the fugitive began to fight

Here are some of the videos I am going to use in my final product
