[ Pace ]

Mystery keeps beckoning

Threatening my name

All the same

In this game of chasing a figure

Run quicker

Yet, why does this all seem familiar?

Am I chasing a ghost?

Am I chasing the past?

Am I saving the most?

Do I miss what I had?

Have I been here before?

Have I sung this same score?

Will I soon leave this door?

Quoth the raven, nevermore

[ Pace, The Shadow, Both ]

What...

...Have we here? The mighty knight appears

It's the hero foretold

In the tales of old

Although he’s struck with fear

I'm the lights, he's the deer

You can freeze but

Never cease your ventures!

Holding dear

The dark itself is near

In the world as a whole

You don’t fit the mold

A soul of void, how queer

Let me make one thing

Clear

I fear you're not the thing

I'm searching for!

I've taken my time

Trekked through the leaves and the grime

And though our roads begin to intertwine

I'll be just fine!

You keep assuring yourself

While I take what's mine (I'll take what's mine!)

You keep on pacing yourself (Pacing myself until that chime)

Until the chime of the bell

That lets you know you’re still alive!

I don’t know what to trust

But that chime could never lie. (That chime could be a lie)

So keep your senses in check

And begin your climb

An unwanted duet

Hinders me as I (Hinders your mind's eye!)

Climb and I hike

Through the halls

As it calls my name

While you strike

As you stalk

Like it’s all a game

Call it shame

But am I really to blame?

You're just so easy to rend and maim

To drive insane

Out of the blue and the purplish hues

You emerge and abuse

Then you cruise through the skyline

Eclipsing stars (Eclipse the brightest of stars)

Binging har (Binging har)

This action takes some getting used to!

(Such action takes some getting used to!)

[ Pace, The Shadow, Both SECTION 2 ]

RUN RUN!

GRATIFICATION TASTES BEST

DECAYED WITH

(TIME!) Who the hell do you

Think I am?

My name is pace!!

I'm not your

(guy!) IGNORANCE

WONT HAVE YOU SPARED

IT'S YOU WHO DARED

TO COME HERE ON

(YOUR OWN!) Listen, man

I’m really scared!!

I'm not prepared to fight so hold the phone!

We're both here for reaching a similar goal (What's your goal?)

What use could you possibly have for (Gimme those chaos emeralds)

Those chaos emeralds?

Exterminate, reanimate

Assimilate your thoughts into my own

Deprecation cultivating

Into a beast from the unknown!

Holding dear

The dark itself is near

In the world as a whole

You don't fit the mold

A soul of void, how queer

Let me make one thing clear

I fear you're not the thing

I'm searching for

After all

After all, we both saw

How you flinch at the sight of my jaws!

You're quick to assume

The world hasn't room

For improving in truth

Your kind is doomed to fall! (After years in this place)

We're all face with bittersweet release (Fall, Fall!)

And while you reap (Take the leap and fall!)

The karma I sow

You bank that I'll show you (Show the way...)

The way that I know

Before we slip and fall! (Before you fall!)

[ Pace ]

Give my all

I swing and miss

This casted call

Still persists

Is it really worth it? (But don't count me out because I know what I'm worth)

Am I worth it? (And I won't run like I have before!)

Though doubt rears it's head

I'm set on saving what I'm fighting for!

[ Pace, The Shadow, Both ]

Smell the petrichor

In the storm of storms

Our hero fights and he fights but conforms!

Tonight the swarm

Raptures your feeble form!

Keep on pushing forth

In the eye of storms (In the storm of storms)

Throw my fears to the side (Wipe your tears to the side)

I tried to forget (And try to forget)

What I could prevent (What you could prevent)

But I won't let (If you don't mind,)

You (LET! ME!)

Inside! (INSIDE!)

SEEKING ESCAPE WITHIN

YOUR COFFIN HOLDS THE

NAILS THAT YOU'RE SMASHING IN!

(How delightful...) A mindful of your energy

Won't better me

My conscience is mine!

Although I'm spiteful of this enemy

I'll never let his darkness (HAHAHAHA!)

Dim my shine!

I'm far above your petty tactics (You're too amusing!)

Don't pretend that we're the

(Same!) THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HOLD

(I'll keep refusing!) IS BUT A FRACTION OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I'VE

(GAINED!) Pace, restrain, control myself

(You're leaving room for me) I'd fight a million fights to keep me sane

I'll give my life, my heart, my soul (JUST LET ME USE YOUR)

Before I offer up my

BRAIN!

[ Hyper/Dream-bender Pace, The Shadow, Both ]

(RRRGAAAAHH!)

But now the storm has passed

And my doubt has as well

Whether in heaven or in hell

I won't dwell within the past

Go and preach

So the masses, like yourself, will see (The masses, like myself, will see)

When we save my grace (When we save his grace)

Just how perfect we can be! (Just how perfect we can...)

How was I so blind

Not to side with the savior of man? (On the side of the saved!)

To not follow his plan? (Follow my plan)

Now it's time! (And in time)

We'll make the world a flawless place

And that flawlessness...

It starts with

(Pace!) Pace, at the right hand of the father

Wreaking order on the land!

Making sure every little thing's

Exactly as he planned!

Now, with the wisdom of an angel

You will do as I command!

Offer up your wisdom

Only then, his kingdom will expand! (Expansion)

Through the shade of which we cast

A new world order is

(Made...) Through the shade of which we cast

A new world order can't be delayed...

Utopia is one step closer

Promised paradise should not dismay!

Live in melancholic bliss

My dearest friends

Don't be afraid!

[Pace, Brains, Brawn, Chef Sauté, BOTH]

[Brains]

Pace

Although he's got you against the ropes

You don't have to fight alone!

[Pace]

Brains

In his world, we'll go further beyond

As we set out upon one more quest

Don't resist

This world is gone! (Knock)

[Brawn, (Pace)]

Some sense into your head (Oh, brawn!)

You're talking like a freak

And wreaking death 'till there's nothing left!

[Pace (Brawn)]

You're looking at the better me

At the hero I turned out to be! (Quite the hero you turned out to be!)

[Chef Sauté (Pace)]

Now we convene as one (We merge now as one)

For taking a stand

The armageddon's begun (In the black sun!)

And we're part of something

[Pace (Chef Sauté)]

(Grand...) You play a part in bigger plans

Pay your toll

Son of man (Graaaaaaand!)

Lay your soul

You're part of something grand!

[Chef Sauté (Pace)]

I now present an entree fit for lords (Praise the lord, oh)

Made from blood and ardor

Come forth, I'm ready for your feasting (Come forth, I'm ready for the feasting)

For your appeasing (For such appeasing)

ASKS FOR NOTHING MORE!

[ Pace, Rosy, Both ]

When things get rough (Safe to say, when things get rough)

Confide in me (You'll be there to make things right)

And I'll make things right, my love (Enough's enough)

Let me bring you to your feet, now (My feet aren't touching the ground)

You'll find your mind's... (I'm finding my mind..)

MINE
