[Intro] [Verse-I] The first realm fades to shadow grey Experience has filled the gauge The counter stops, I cannot stay I turn the final mortal page A chime rings out from distant spires The screen before me starts to blur My vessel burns in unseen fires The threshold calls, I must transfer [Pre-Chorus] Progress saved, the QUEST complete No resurrection, no retreat The MESSAGE flickers cold and white "YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE SECOND NIGHT" [Chorus] LEVEL TWO awaits beyond the DOOR The inventory STRIPPED of flesh and bone RESPAWN in chambers unexplored Where STATS are measured by the soul alone The DUNGEON MASTER calls my name I shed my avatar of SHAME ASCENDING through the PIXEL VEIL To where the PREVIOUS PLAYERS dwell [Interlude-I] [Verse-II] The map reveals what lies ahead A realm I've glimpsed in fever dreams The guide appears, robed figure dread Nothing here is what it seems My CHARACTER has been reborn No health bar marks my bleeding heart The TUTORIAL is over, torn A NEW GAME waits for me to start [Bridge] CHECKPOINT passed, cannot return The SAVE FILE of my former self Deleted, scattered, left to burn An empty SLOT upon the shelf [Chorus] LEVEL TWO awaits beyond the DOOR The inventory STRIPPED of flesh and bone RESPAWN in chambers unexplored Where STATS are measured by the soul alone The DUNGEON MASTER calls my name I shed my avatar of SHAME ASCENDING through the PIXEL VEIL To where the PREVIOUS PLAYERS dwell [Interlude-II] [Outro-Verse] I walk through gates of coded light The FIRST WORLD fades behind my back No longer bound by day or night I follow down the ASTRAL track EXPERIENCE has brought me here The FINAL BOSS was my own breath The LOADING SCREEN begins to clear LEVEL TWO... beyond my death [End]
