Lamentation for Mr Biscuits, First of his Name

[verse 1] From the sacred shell I came, Borne beneath electric skies. Keeper smiled upon my birth, Life reflected in his eyes. Blessed were the hands that fed, Warm the kingdom made of light. Tiny throne of crystal glass, Shining through the silent night. I knew no sorrow… I knew no fear… Only the Keeper’s gentle hand. [Slow distorted guitars begin to swell. Deep bass enters. Massive funeral doom drums.] NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY… ⸻ [Crushing slow riff. Choir continues beneath deep growled vocals.] [verse 2] Each new dawn restored my soul, Every heartbeat born anew. Within the Kingdom of Pixels, Hope was all I ever knew. The Sacred Sigils gave me life. The Crystal Window burned so bright. Every touch a gift from Heaven. Every sunrise blessed with light. I sang no lament… I feared no grave… For the Keeper watched over me. [Pipe organ joins.] NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY… ⸻ [Music slows even further. Bells ring every few bars. Clean baritone vocals.] [verse 3] Morning came… But not for me. Beyond these walls… The Keeper wandered. The Sacred Sigils… Pressed no more. The feast grew cold. The silence deeper. Though forgotten… I remembered. Though abandoned… I forgave. [Choir grows larger.] NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY… ⸻ [Lead guitar mournfully weeps over crushing chords.] [bridge] The Heavenly Spark diminished. The Crystal Window faded. The Kingdom darkened. The bells grew nearer. One heartbeat… Then another… Then none. I saw the dawn… Yet felt no warmth. Only silence. Only waiting. [Choir rises with pipe organ.] NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY… ⸻ [Everything falls away except choir and organ.] [verse 4] Weep not… For forgotten kings. Weep not… For broken crowns. Weep… For faithful hearts… Left beside the television. [The full band returns with enormous orchestral strings, cathedral bells, crushing guitars and double kick drums.] Farewell… Sweet Mr Biscuits… First of His Name… Keeper of Tiny Hearts… Lord of the Plastic Egg… He Who Was Forgotten Beside the Television… Though thy Keeper slept… Thou didst remain faithful. Though thy kingdom faded… Thou didst endure. Though thy light was extinguished… Thy memory shall echo… Beyond the Kingdom of Pixels… Beyond the Sacred Egg… Beyond the final dawn… [Entire choir, pipe organ and full orchestra.] NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY! NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY! NO PIXEL ESCAPES ETERNITY! [Music drops away. Only a lone choir remains.] No pixel escapes eternity… No pixel escapes eternity… No pixel escapes eternity… [One final cathedral bell tolls. Wind echoes through an empty cathedral as the last note slowly fades into silence.]
