ANNOUNCER: "Ladies and gentlemen for the first time
In the history of Ik'theves
One of our mighty gods has fallen!
On the hand of this young mummy-looking pit rat over here!
Hahahahah, oh my friends, my friends
It would appear, that we may actually have a show on our hands tonight
Don't die, young pit rat!
I wish you, a great journey
Because believe me, you'll need it..."
♪
Assuming that I'm on a path that brings me somewhere
Assimilate my mind into your great beyond
Still, something was bothering
I'd lost a part of me
All of my thoughts are exploding outward
I'm so confident!
And I'm valiant
And I've found my stride
So no ocean, nor buzzing could stop me now
But what is this spear?
When I try to look outside myself
I can find nothing that I value
Do I lift my head up to the sky
To ask why I've been speared?
But no—this was not about me
Hold on, more thoughts exploding outward
And I used to honestly believe
That no one could bother me
You don't tell me what I'm after!
I just want a drop, not a cushioned fall
I'm so arrogant!
So I was seething when you left my side
I couldn't blame you, for I was preachy
I'm rather full of it now
But hey, that has not stopped me
When I try to look outside myself
I can find nothing that I value
Do I lift my head up to the sky
To ask why I've been speared?
But no—this was not about me
♪
I thought myself deranged
The things that I had named forsaken in the past
Had surely been remastered
And now that I could dream
A precipice between the idealistic me
And all you without a mirror
Thrive much deeper, then you'll see
You'll believe
I've been blessed
So that's why they can't kill me
♪
Yo, why it feel the life in the earth got cut up
And shut up
Still d-d-d-didn't die
'Cause when I start to sink
All reflections crack at the sight of what's been done
Yo, I've tried to flee
But you can't outrun your fate if it's written in stone
No, you gotta break that rock!
Consequence—suspense
Then we dance!
'Cause no one could ever, ever tell me
That I got no chance to leave
Your words muffled out by all my inner screams
That's victory
I could show you all my dream!
I could hold myself above ya'll and shine out
'Til there is nothing else to see!
(I could shine with a glint of madness)
(So dark I would not be denied)
(I could shine with a glint of madness)
(So dark I would not be denied)
♪
So I was sanguine
And I was daring
And I shined so bright
I got caught up in glowing, so I missed the height
And the bottom was empty—as was said dream
Still, I went on uncaring 'cause I was free of shame
When I try to look outside myself
I can find nothing that I value
Do I lift my head up to the sky
To ask why I've been speared!?
♪
Deliverance
Didn't see the tangle latched to me
Leash pulled back
I was restrained!
But watch me walk that beam with confidence
I need not balance, nor a choice
Just watch me trespass into that ring!
♪
ANNOUNCER: "Welcome back, now welcome back
Yes, yes, now young champion
You were able to best the first god
Yes, yes
But can you do it again?
Can you best the second god?
Your life is on the line, young pit rat
And your faith... Well
It can either be in your own hands
Or it could be in hers!
Yes alright settle down, settle down"
