Number on the Tower (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33)

Another year... the salon clock sighs low Another number dictates where life can go Lumiere whispers, breath held tight Will this trip finally bring the light? Thirty three souls, bound by the year A final waltz against the fear Following footprints, faded trails Reading forgotten, desperate tales This city hopes we find the key To unlock what life is meant to be Past the phantoms, through the strain Wash away this decreed pain Number on the tower, standing tall Pronouncing who is next to fall Got to break the count, make the Maker see We are not just faded memory! Number on the tower, yeah we climbing high Rewrite the rules across the sky! Thirty three going to change the game! Crack the canvas, break the frame! Found their journals, bound in grime Echoes lost to measured time Secrets hidden, deep inside Like who I was, before this ride Met the guide, he knew the cost Knew the way to claim what is lost Learned the touch, the special hue How to make the world anew Truth unfolded, sharp and cold A mother's story, bought and sold Now he is free, the chains undone But Lumiere… vanished everyone. Number on the tower, standing tall! Pronouncing who is next to fall! Got to break the count, make the Maker see We are not just faded memory! Number on the tower, yeah we climbing high! Rewrite the rules across the sky! Thirty three going to change the game! Crack the canvas, break the frame! Years ago... a different face Scarred by fire, lost my place Pushed inside the swirling art Reborn broken, torn apart Ohh ohh ahhh... This power... Yeah... Mmmm... It calls... Got to take it now, make it mine Ghosts of friends, stand in line! Yeah! Ahhh ohhh! Number on the tower, watch it fall! My turn now to enthrall! I broke the count, now they all see They are just colors, shaped by me! Number on the tower, dust and gone! Painting futures ‘til the dawn! Thirty three just changed the game! This whole canvas bears my name! There now... Perfect. Just like so. Paint you smiling, watch you grow Into the version I desire... Your hurt? Just details I rewire... This world is my picture, clean and bright But something is bleeding in my sight... Fades...
