Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a, b, a, b This is the code for a world waiting just for me I create the story, I'm the hero, I'm the villain What I choose defines my life in the end Press start, jump into your fantasy In this story, you're the kings and queens We all band together, our memories saved We all play together, in our world we stay We are the soldiers. We are the knights. We are the soldiers. We are the knights.

Cut from the same cloth as every monster That's bringing the world to its knees I'll do whatever it takes to be free [of this torture] My friends and my family helped me forget this devil inside I was not designed to fear death But pain is why I fight Destructive by design Constructive by choice I will not believe the lies and tales For your memory, how can I fail? I may no longer feel, But my heart is still real Nothing will stop me This is my rising Put together piece by piece, like a sinister puzzle I'll show you that my big picture is more than flesh and metal Adrift without a challenge Cut loose without a keeper They've sown their own fate And I am just the reaper Is this the will of a people!? Would you call me opportunistic? Enabler of war? I protect the weak. I'm not a monster like before. Liberator, I choose the needs of the few The wind blows, the rain falls. The strong prey, and the weak make do. Barricade the mistakes I made Enterprising soldier of fortune This sword is a means to an end To protect the ones you'd prey upon You say war is a cruel master, but an effective teacher Sure as the sun will rise, I won't let this slaughter continue! Cut from the same cloth as every monster That's bringing the world to its knees I'll do whatever it takes to be free [of this torture] My friends and my family helped me forget this devil inside I was not designed to fear death But pain is why I fight I can no longer see How one sword keeps another in its sheath Nothing will stop me This is my rising It feels as real as anything else I'm fighting for reasons I understand Causes you don't believe in Just because it's legal, that doesn't make it right Ideals that give life meaning Are the only things for which to die Is this the will of a people?

Engulfed by the wreckage my past has created, I'm thrilled by the invitation to meet my end A slow dance with destiny, I'm being persuaded Welcome enigma, I've got two ways to win again Not a step, take a fall in the right direction Even gravity can't hold me down I am the catalyst of reclamation My objectivity is leaving me now Some call me a demon, others a machine I won't persist after my own defeat You might think that at my core I am broken I've just locked up every word that was spoken Has our nobility blinded us? Our actions tread between honor and foolishness Time was always on our side Now the second hand turns to reveal a diminishing life I know I'm supposed to know what to do right now There's never been a problem I couldn't solve You know asking has never been my strong suit Just know that I will never relinquish you Are you willing to give it all, To undergo the only instance of emotion I could ever show? If seven years is all I have, I won't sit back and wait A machine won't seal my fate. I could give you 40,000 reasons why I know This light is not the light of a star I will not let humanity become enslaved By the oppression of this artificial war We will never be panderers, but wanderers Straight forward and reckless 'til the bitter end So many journeys, yet one destination I'll be the one to help us all transcend Before this ends, we'll find out Which one of us is the person and which is the machine Are you willing to give it all, To undergo the only instance of emotion I could ever show? If seven years is all I have, I won't sit back and wait A machine won't seal my fate. I hope you know now that I won't recover from this My mind is replicating, ripping away the only parts of me I have left Our strength was a luminous sun. Our hope was a relentless flame. If my rampancy can save you now, I won't mind thinking myself to death Are you willing to give it all, To undergo the only instance of emotion I could ever show? If seven years is all I have, I won't sit back and wait A machine won't seal my fate.

I once held you so close to me Never letting you out of my sight How could this have happened to us? When was it ever enough? This nightmare, I never wanted to see You go, you go, you go, don't go, don't go I can't do this on my own I can't do this on my own Left to endure and survive What heart I had left behind, lost in your blue eyes With nothing left to lose, left to endure and survive Lost in a world, stripped of its own rules I will avenge you I will avenge you I can't do this on my own Left to endure and survive What heart I had left behind, lost in your blue eyes With nothing left to lose, left to endure and survive Lost in a world, stripped of its own rules If only you knew how much I dream of you Knowing that theres nothing that I can do But I see your face in a dream and I wish for a way to change the world Maybe have a chance to escape from the same demons that took my precious little girl I will rebuild this for you Pick up the pieces, make them new So that they'll remember The last of us Darkness creeps up on me like a chill I don't know how many of them I'll have to kill To clear the path, Fueled by the memory I'll slay With hopes of a brighter future And in piece your body may lay I'll take the few of you thats left, and with you, my sweet, my promise be kept I'll build, I'll build, I'll build, I'll build. I will rebuild all I will rebuild all of this for you.

Break your limits. The monsters inside are planning their escape I can’t let this rage win A choice, a decision to hold it back To carry all this evil within Alone in my heart, this message becomes clear If I allow my vice to show, I will be my worst fear Alone in my thoughts, In the back of my mind it sits That in despite of my best efforts, This disease will run its course Remember. Remember to be strong Your words hold onto me I let you go but didn’t stop you But now I can’t see you breathe I accept that I was wrong You wanted it so badly How could I have just stood by and let you… Tempt me, daunting apparition Grant me my only ambition My will is not surrendered yet Can this really be my fate? No, I will not fail again I will fight till the end No! I will not fail again I will fight till the end I will control my monsters This will not be the end of me The monsters inside are planning their escape I can’t hide myself for long A destiny, a fate as my curse I must remember to be strong Remember Remember to be strong Your words hold onto me I will not fail again I will fight till the end! Remember to be strong They will remember me I have conquered what's inside Now your memory can finally leave These same demons will be my tools My weapons once dark, used for light To live in regret, to live like the fools Is no longer the battle I fight.

This world once held my fond memories Times where my hands were clean Clean of this torment, clean of this torture I'll never let this weakness show I'll never, I'll never let this weakness show Your time is now, you sat back and did nothing to save us You brought this war to your door From my hands, you shall turn to dust Nothing will stand in my way, my blood is lusting, burning Craving for this vengeance Oh, I've lost my way, unwillingly brought to this fate [unwillingly brought to this fate] I know I've disappointed you. But I've come too far, come too far. With this hate in my heart, I can never be found (It is far too late) It's far too late This world once held my fond memories They shatter under my vengeance I am the monster, I am destruction I am the demon, I the weapon I am the monster, I am destruction I accept this role now Nothing is left for me [Nothing is left for me] I will always believe [That hope is for the weak] Nothing is left for me! This world holds lost memories I pray this curse will end Amongst the clouds I pray this curse will end I pray I see your face in the clouds! I pray this curse will end That I will see your face amongst the clouds Please allow me rest, I've lost my strength Let me accept the end

Hey, listen Resounding Graceful waves of wind Draws me closer to Closer to... Deeper and deeper we find ourselves lost Lost in these woods with the winds of change on our backs If only there were maps to guide me farther than I've come I'm following a whispered melody hoping that this song will my bring me home I'll scour every tower I swear you'll be found Be it boss or demon, they all get cut down The darkness holds no reign Even the nightmares that haunt you in dungeons lay slain In me the pieces of my heart remain pure with hope For your return to the throne Queen of wisdom, last of three Return your light to these dark lands for they are in need I'm waking up on the shores of an unfamiliar island Wondering how I arrived to this secluded dreamland I hear the sound calling out to me from deep beneath My only hope is to try to find the magic that's keeping me here And here I stand before a nightmare My heart falters not With every instrument, I feel the winds push me closer to my return to home Before this all over, me and the darkness with go our rounds Here below ground, my answers are found This land is just a dream Let the distant sounds wake you up This is island is made from your dreams I'm realizing now that you have no power An island created in me I'm getting myself lost so I can find you I'm getting myself lost so I can find you
