END

Now imagine

That you’re pacing

Through these rain-soaked broken streets

Exploring

Imploring

To characters you meet

They’re watching

They’re judging

Will you fail or succeed

They’re plotting

A downfall

To send you barrelling

They’ll cut you deep

They will leave you scarred

Nine mortal wounds

Through patchwork hearts

You fight their wars

Settle new high scores

Watch them rejoice

When the victory’s yours

But no more

Game over

One more play until the credits roll

Stay hopeful

Grow stronger

An unfogged mind and a cleaner soul

Keep your sights set on the final goal

Don’t stop now you’re in control

Continue?

Yes!

Or no?

Let’s go!

(Wahoh)

Just imagine

All the pressure

Forcing you to kneel

Objectives

Incentives

To keep you under heel

Unending

Is the demanding

Crowned heads of the elites

Defending

Unyielding

Programmed injustice

It’s your lives they’ll take

Through dictated hate

Falsified smokescreens

Try to obfuscate

When all’s said and done

And the battle’s won

Untruths unfurl

You’re invulnerable

But no more

Game over

One more play until the credits roll

Stay hopeful

Grow stronger

An unfogged mind and a cleaner soul

Keep your sights set on the final goal

Don’t stop now you’re in control

Continue?

(Waahahahahaha)

I’m back once more

Feeding my appetite

Enjoying that sweet

Taste of my reprise

Still out of my mind

You’re out of my sight

I’ve finally earned

Another life

No more

Game over

One more play until the credits roll

Stay hopeful

Grow stronger

An unfogged mind and a cleaner soul

Almost there at the chequered flagpole

Can’t stop now, you’ve reached that final goal

Hope’s not dead, just location unknown

Continue?
