[Verse 1: Devenny]

Over there looks amazing

A call to arms, there's a challenge that’s awaiting

And over time we've felt ourselves slowly wading

Towards a task, it was bleak when it was raining

I did the dance, clasped my hands, kept on praying

I turned to Sonny, told him, "Boy what are we facing?"

He told me calmly there were demons to be chasing

I responded that my fists are heavy waiting

Not too often do you book a date with Satan

There, it's coming closer and it's evil

Must keep composure for the team, though

I drank the bottle, red stains, yeah, it was vino

I filled my beaker to the line, then I left home

And then I left home

And I trudged slow

And I trudged slow


[Chorus: Eliot]

Do you want the world to stop spinning?

If the building burns then you'll go with it

So, do you want this mission?

Do you wanna really start living?

Do you want the world to stop spinning?

If the building burns then you'll go with it

So, do you want this mission?

Do you wanna really start living?


[Verse 2: Sonny]

Yeah, I don't know who it is that's breathing down my neck

Patterns were repeating, I'm deleting them instead

I see 'em on the ceiling when I'm sleeping in my bed

I was running out of it, and then I caught my breath

And I don't know what's good for me, but I know what I like

Couldn't put my finger on it, but something wasn't right

She stepped out a caravan, told me come inside

I was seeking guidance, wanted someone that was wise

Wanted someone who could take me from the darkness through the light

I told her our story and then she started to cry

She said what I'm looking for is something only I can find

That would have been okay, but I'm paying for the time

Thought that we were trapped, I thought I pressed save

End up at the start when we start the next day

Move across the map, now I'm on the next page

All the grey patches started crumblin' away


[Verse 3: Eliot]

It never gets this dark in the city

Something must be done, but I need you with me

I promise the forest is so pretty

We could save the world, I know you're not busy

I know you spent time with geist and gespenst

Hanging in suspense, the night gets tense

Listen to the rattle of a chain link fence

Shallow sleep, always wake up spent


[Chorus: Eliot]

Do you want the world to stop spinning?

If the building burns then you'll go with it

So, do you want this mission?

Do you wanna really start living?

Do you want the world to stop spinning?

If the building burns then you'll go with it

So, do you want this mission?

Do you wanna really start living? (Start living)
