01 - Innocence

A peaceful town
Thriving and growing
Under the guidance
Of its long-standing ruler
A ruler who had united the rivaling factions
And led them into an age of prosperity
There is no war
No hunger
And there are no dark secrets
Almost no dark secrets

02 - AlMost No Dark Secrets


My lord
Why did you summon me here
Was the shield torn asunder
Oh no
Should you not have the townsfolk
Under control
That is quite the mess
Well let me guess
I could feel it from the distance
You're in need of my assistance

Oh don't make that face
I can never quite tell
Is it disdain or affection
Even after all those years
I still struggle to make sense of you
But look at me here
Talking about the past
When there's a more important task at hand

I understand
I won't let you down

This peaceful and beautiful town
Our covenant's magical centerpiece
As long as you keep me around
I will gladly do as you please

There are almost no dark secrets
Just possibly, maybe a few
Almost no dark secrets
Except for me
I suppose
That is true

Mission accomplished
It appears the forcefield was shut down
Involuntarily
By children playing
Near the generator
So there's no traitor
I'm so glad
Mmh I like it when you pat my head
Look at the stars above

Still some hours left
Before the spell fades
And I'm dragged back from

This peaceful and beautiful town
Our covenant's magical centerpiece
As long as you keep me around
I will gladly do as you please

There are almost no dark secrets
Just possibly, maybe a few
Almost no dark secrets
Except for me
I suppose
That is true

You know not many of my kind
Would be open to this idea
Usually we're more inclined
To much darker deeds

My sisters started teasing me
But I couldn't care less
They are calling me
A domesticated demoness

And I kind of like the sound of that
The sound of your voice
In between the ambient noise
So serene

This peaceful and beautiful town
Our home
Our magical centerpiece
This beacon of hope that we found
Can keep a demon at ease

There are almost no dark secrets
Just possibly, maybe a few
Almost no dark secrets
Except for me
I suppose
That is true

And I wish I could just go out there
Be myself
Undisguised
In broad daylight
Hiding almost no dark secrets
Except my love for you
That's alright

03 - Caravan

Rest for a while
There is no point
To return to the road ahead

Stay blessed for a while
Curses and trouble enough
Where you’re going to

And the dancers all moved on
Without you there is no song
Ooh-oh
There is no song

The place you are going to
Even demons fear
Memories drain away
And dreams disappear

But even darkness carries a light
Just lift your eyes

When your feet despair of the road
Look for the caravan
Fortunes are told
Futures held under the table

When you burned your last line of hope
Look for the caravan
Ooh-oh-oh
The caravan

A whole jar of hope to buy
With a lover’s sigh
A string full of second tries
If you part with a lie

You can bend the road up ahead
Or call to the dead

When your feet despair of the road
Look for the caravan
Fortunes are told
Futures held under the table

When you burned your last line of hope
Look for the caravan
Ooh-oh-oh
The caravan

When your feet despair of the road
Look for the caravan
Fortunes are told
Futures held under the table

When you burned your last line of hope
Look for the caravan
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
The caravan

04 - The PoWers That CoNtrol You

Fireworks
Celebrating yet another success
Another profitable venture

I gotta hand it to you
This show is flamboyant
Perhaps you are truly clairvoyant

They're all awestruck
But is it just luck
I don't think so
No I don't think so

I know your secrets
Know who you meet with
I know how deep this corruption runs

The great lengths you would go to
How ruthless you've become
It is safe to say
Safe to say that 

I know you
You let in
The powers that control you
You would not rescind

The oath that allowed them through
The powers that control you

Seemingly out of nowhere
You rose to the top
The very top of society
After a variety
Of competitors dropped

So many fortunate events
Naturally not by your hands
They all believed this to be true
Except for me

Because I know you
You let in
The powers that control you
You would not rescind

The oath that allowed them through
The powers that control you

Yes I know you
You let in
The powers that control you
You would not rescind

The oath that allowed them through
The powers that control you

You let in
The powers that control you
You would not rescind

The oath that brought you back
And that keeps you attached
To the powers that
The powers that control you

05 - Please Tell Me More

Step inside
Close the door
It is so cold outside
So cold outside

Sit with me
In front of the fireplace
Share with me the tales
Of your journey

Rumor has it you have been
To the other side
Could it really be
Could it really be

Tell me of this world
I could never see
Let me be a part
Of your journey

I have offered you my hospitality

Now please tell me more
Please tell me more
Tell me of this world
That wasn't meant for me
Yes please tell me
Please tell me more
Please tell me more

Do you like
The smell of the incense
Someone brought it here
Someone brought it here

Someone much like you
Who came to visit me
Told me of their tales
And did never leave

Forgive me
That was in jest

Now please tell me more
Please tell me more
Tell me of this world
That wasn't meant for me
Yes please tell me
Please tell me more
Please tell me more

I have offered you my hospitality

Now please tell me more
Please tell me more
Tell me of this world
That wasn't meant for me
Yes please tell me
Please tell me
Please tell me more

06 - Fire Be Mine

On the path long ago
On the journey home
And the snow-covered hills
They are calling her 
To return

Fire be mine
Could it be my time
Will the road let me go
And take me home

Will the road let me go and take me home
Will the road take me home

Fire be mine
Bless me with your burning graces
Help me be kind
Melt away the death and decay
I leave behind

Be mine 
Let me feel your warm embraces
Help me through time
Release my family
Return my memories
They are mine

Dear child my hands are tied
Divinity does not equal might
A balance struck long ago
Promised you to eternal snow
Eternal snow

What can I do
Where else can I go
Every road I have taken
Succumbed to the snow
Every rite that you asked for
I have prayed, I have chosen
Left only disaster
Everything’s frozen

Since the dawn of time
Dear child
I’ve upheld this contract
The fire won’t start
Until you make contact
With your counterpart

I have been to the edge of the world
Found broken promises and grief
My hopes and dreams
Would latch on to your words
As they promised me relief
If only I’d

Find the hearth of the firesoul
Find the hearth of the firesoul
Find the hearth of the firesoul
Fire
Fire
Fire be mine

On the path the path long ago
On my journey home
And the snow-covered hills
They are calling me
To return
Imploring me
To return

I remember that shelter
In the hills far from here
The ember I held there
Instilled primal fear
So I dropped it and ran
And prayed
That it would disappear

Fire be mine
Has it been my time
Did the road let me go
And I didn’t know

Then you must go and return
To the hearth of the firesoul
Find the hearth
Find the hearth
Of the fire firesoul
The hearth of the firesoul

But what if my prayers
Were answered for once
If it did disappear
If the fire is gone

Oh dear child you cannot fathom
What that would mean

If the ember’s warmth
Was never to be seen again
The world would end
And thus would end the curse

So for better or worse
This journey
Would not extend

Fire be mine

07 - DoWnWard DoWNWARD

It’s all arranged
We gaze below
Moments until
The ready, set, go

We are prepared
Once more
What are we waiting for

We have been waiting on the top
Yes we have seen the light
Don’t even think that we forgot
The thrill of this thrillride

Patience is wearing thin now
When will it begin

We await release
When at last the hand appears

Gravity calls and off we go
Downward, downward
Towards the unknown
To the left
To the right
Down a steep incline
Downward, downward
All the time

Our world is a marvelous wonderland
Layers upon layers which twist and bend
To form a track that seems to never end
Gravity calls

We cross forks, ramps and drop down
There’s always more
And no stop to be found
The contraptions help us
Stay away from the ground
And we fly defying gravity

For a brief while
But this doesn’t feel quite right
Gravity
Gravity

Gravity calls
Downward, downward
Towards the unknown
To the left
To the right
Down a steep incline
Downward, downward
All the time

08 - GETTING AWAY WITH IT

(We keep)
(Getting getting)
(Getting away with it)
(We keep getting away with it)

Only two more hands
There’s a one in five chance
And we have to hit it twice

But that’s alright
Because the thing is
We keep getting away with it
Getting away with
We keep getting away with it

So you failed again
But this is not the end
Well, actually
I suppose it is
Again

Maybe you should have played those tens
When you had the chance
Hindsight is 20/20
Which is the points
You were short incidentally
(Oh if only)
Oh if only you had more
Skill
Luck
Knowledge
(Oh if only)
Or perception
You know
(You were like us)
Not unlike us
Because

We keep
Getting getting
Getting away with it
We keep getting away with it
We keep getting
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
We keep getting
Getting away with it

Probability
(Such a high probability)
So many ranks and suits to see
(Look at this beautiful queen)
Such colorful diversity
(Two of each suit)
It’s just not what you need
(What do you mean)

Here’s an observation
You’re lacking deck manipulation
(Hang them all)
Just imagine what life would be
(Hang them all)
Had you removed these twos and threes
And drew that

Polychrome nine
Relieved for a while
Poor decisions
Terrible planning
Bad luck
Unlike us
Because

We keep
Getting getting
Getting away with it
We keep getting away with it
We keep getting
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
We keep getting
Getting away with it

We save for interest
But one reroll is free
Yes we value the economy
A fool and temperance
Oh that’s funny
Good thing we bought that gift card
For the money

We find a seal
In every other standard pack
While all you get
Is a wildcard jack
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh if only

(Oh if only)
Oh if only you had more
Skill
Luck
Knowledge
(Oh if only)
Or perception
You know
(You were like us)
Like us
Because

We keep
Getting getting
Getting away with it
We keep getting away with it
We keep getting
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
We keep getting
Getting away with it

09 - ONLY SANCTUARY

Your towns will burn
The earth tremble
Dark clouds appear

The horrors that rise from the sea
Will be merely the preamble

To the doom that’s to come
Once the legion is called
I have seen it all

Destruction, war and death
But there is still time to react
The one way out
Is the nautical route
Make haste and attack

The alliance port
Take their ships and sail forth
And whatever you do
Don’t turn back

Just sail
Sail and cross the sea
It’s your only sanctuary
Deliverance in these distant lands
The place where you’ll be free
The visions
From your far seer’s dreams
Show and reveal
Where to flee
Your only sanctuary

Out there you will find
A continent made for your kind
A barren landscape unrefined
Peace of mind

There is nothing to fear
Unless you choose to stay here
Then your pain shall be legendary

Sail and cross the sea
It’s your only sanctuary
Deliverance in these distant lands
The place where you’ll be free
The visions
From your far seer’s dreams
Show and reveal
Where to flee
Your only sanctuary

Yes the world will distort
Though some time has been bought
Destruction a foregone conclusion
Survival here a mere delusion

Sail
Cross the sea
It’s your only sanctuary
Deliverance in these distant lands
The place where you’ll be free
The visions
From your far seer’s dreams
Show and reveal
Where to flee
Your only sanctuary
Your only sanctuary

10 - THERE IS NO ESCAPE

You rely on me once more
All darkness spent
Down the window we drop
Will it go like all the times before
Or will we make it to the top

There is no escape

I have witnessed it first hand
And my brethren shared their stories
Accounts of all these failed attempts
The tales of your many ends

Remember the first time you tried
You made it three rooms in when you died
Back then it felt like fate
That there's truly no escape

Little godling don't give up
Behold the power of love
That's right
Too much at stake for you to give up
You need a little heartbreak
And a bit of luck
Not like back then
No not like back then
Do you
Do you still remember when

You set foot on that spiky trap
Before that big club sent you back home
The exploding mines on which you stepped
And made you think you’d never learn

Step by step
You would progress
But when the whip cracked
You dodged too late
Feeling
There is no escape
No escape
There is no escape

Oh, welcome back

Welcome to my island
Don't mind the fire
I am glad that chance
Has brought you here once again

I really admire how you fight
For your dream
No matter how dire things may seem

I guess it helps that someone waits for you
Unlike me
That is not entire true
I truly hope you get to
See her soon
A song of the heart broken
Take one of these
As a token of my respect
And don't forget

That I am here to assist you
As long as you persevere
I am sorry to have missed you
The last time you were here

A tall order indeed
But just look how strong you have grown
One day you will succeed because
You are not alone

For we are here to assist you
This song
This song
Take it with you
Take it with you
Take it all the way to the top
All the way
Never stop
Never surrender

Look forward don't look back
Yes we had a rather bad
Experience with that
Focus on what lies ahead

What choice will you make
Whose call will you know
Which path will you take

How will the fight with the hydra go
What do you think
Will you struggle like in the early days
Will it be over in a blink

Head by head
Volley, fire, dash, dash, dash
Keep moving and attack
And do not hesitate or

There is no escape
No escape
There is no escape

The proudest
Most noble warriors
The greatest of all men

Urgh
This place again

Little godling don’t give up
Take the artisan’s hammer
And oooh
Oooh
Flurry Shot

Bring them on
It is my time to shine
You will see
Why they call me
Heart-Seeker

Oh what a thrill
That is right
It is heartbreak time
And it’s you who we invite

Take them on
With my heartbreak strike
And go for the eyes

It is heartbreak time
And it’s you who we invite
Day and night
I mean down there
Who can tell anyway

I will witness it first hand
And tell my brethren your story
Accounts of all the glory
You will find in these lands

But let us not get
Ahead of ourselves quite yet
There are still some major battles
To be had

We should make a battle plan
The big one will
Assess the situation
Discard that information
And then charge into walls
Walls

While the other one hides
Behind his shield
And throws that spear

By the way I hear
That his spear
Is not the only thing about him
Oh-oh-oh
That is rather thin

Oh-oh-oh this will be
An easy win
You are not prepared
An easy win
You are not prepared
Why would you say this

This is not much of a battle plan
You stand no chance
Overconfidence will bring your end
When you face the champions

Breath by breath
Slash jump attack
They will pierce you
Break you
Obliterate you
There is no escape
For you
No escape
Wait
They already left

Hmpf, foolish

Well then
Let’s get this over with
Stubborn son of mine
Draw your blade
Or whatever you wield this time
Hello there
And whatever support
You have brought
Hello there
It’s all for naught
Like every time before

Did you enjoy the ransacking
Of my domain
Yes indeed I’m afraid
You’re entirely to blame
Do you think this realm runs by itself
It’s busy enough without your help

Oh little godling
Do not lose heart
I see
You found yourself
The goddess of love
Don’t be taunted
Keep a steady aim at him
Urgh
Where did you find that old thing
Now now
There is no need to be impolite 
Quite right

We have a fight to fight
Fight to fight

Make sure to go for his shiny bits
No
We’re not there yet

We’re gods, boy
Gods
Though you’re merely
The god of talking back to me
It seems
You will see
One only leaves
On my authority

 The tides of this conflict have turned
Remember the lessons you’ve learned
Use it all
Greater call

You have no jurisdiction here

Oh-oh see
He’s down on his knee
Now go, go go

This isn’t over yet boy
I guess I forgot
You never seem to know when
It is time to stop

I will return you below again
You should have known
Will you cease this pandemonium
Once the river takes you home

Death by death
I’ll send you back
Till that thick head of yours
Accepts your fate
There is no escape
No escape

Is there truly no escape

No matter how long you defy death
Defy me
Defy, defy, defy

Is there no escape

There is no escape

Next
Next

Never Strangers
