As I look back upon the friends and teams we lost
When I was on my odyssey
I cannot help but think of all that it has cost
And the first thing to my mind is to be free
Everything I touch turns to ashes
And all I want to do is run away
But running always makes it worse No power to dispel the curse
My freedom was the price I wouldn't pay
How can I think of myself at a time like this
The better ones just wouldn't flee their crimes like this
I never thought I'd ever cross the line like this
I think that I'm as bad as they all say
I'm a profit I'm non-profit I always end up down
I made others riches way back when
I'm a coward I'm a bastard I'm a murderer
I'd give anything to do it all again
I never thought I'd see so many fall like that
I never knew that I could treat blaseball like that
I never thought that I would fill the hall like that
I'd give anything to do it all again
And I'd give anything to do it all again

Finally enjoying what we’d finished
When I happened to see a dot appear ahead
Suddenly, all the friends I’d made vanished
And I landed here in this hellhole instead
It’s murky here
You’ve seen worse, so you take it
I know now
I must help you all remake it
I’m new, but I’ve seen so much
I’m old, but I was not there
I’ve done this once before
Cos I’ve seen the The Alternate
Here you fight her minions almost every day
She says that they’re a fact of life
But then “hey here’s another game to play”
All the while she just twists the knife
That’s not required
You’ve seen worse so you take it
You’re not pawns
I must help you all remake it
I’m new, but I’ve seen so much
I’m old, but I was not there
I’ve done this once before
Cos I’ve seen the The Alternate
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
A better world is out there
(A better world, a better world)
A better world is out there
(A better world, a better world)
A better world is out there
(A better world, a better world)
A better world is out there
(A better world, a better world wins out)

I wanna see you again, I wanna see you again…
Immortal
Trapped inside a cage
Unstable
Given scales to weigh
The pale horse rides
And its rider is I
I’ll be back
Back to get what’s mine
Immaterial rains down
Drowning me in souls forevermore
Bloodrain gurgles
I look back at the ashes on the floor
Look to the desert
Look to the black sky up above
It all comes crashing down
It all comes crashing
And an interesting development has taken place on the stage as the Fireballs Hex Parker Macmillian with Firewalker. Parker? Parker! Would you mind taking a second to comment on this development?
Uh… What?
2 3 4
(cool
I wanna see you again, I wanna see you again…
I wait
Sitting here till the end of my days
Whenever I leave
It all goes away
Incineration
Follows me my friends cannot be safe
You can’t walk with me
I’ll accept my fate
I am the destroyer
The explosion that will cause the world to end
My name is Parker
And I’d like to make a few brand new friends
I’ll never leave your side
Not because we ever had the choice
It all comes crashing down
It all comes crashing
Down

in the end
you say you did it for me
i could mend
if i knew what broken shape to be
oh mother benevolent coin
you tear us apart at the join
you build us the history box
fixing our places and jamming the locks
and you say it's our will to be done
but we burn in the heat of the second sun
ashes to ashes to ashes
dust to dust to dust
no more tiana cashes
no more blinded trust
this is not democracy
you've taken all the best of me
so we'll take all the best of you for ourselves
in the end
your motivations are corrupt
rules made to bend
i think we'd better interrupt
whatever you're going to do
we'll see to it you never see it through
whoever you make disappear
we'll go on without a glimmer of fear
if it's true that our will should be done
then we'll put out the fire of the second sun
ashes to ashes to ashes
dust to dust to dust
no more tiana cashes
no more blinded trust
this is not democracy
you've taken all the best of me
so we'll take all the best of you for ourselves
she took our greatest pitcher
maybe it's time to ditch her
she's been so dearly hated
we'd be better separated
she took beloved batters
to make her pocket fatter
this anarchist rejects it
let's show the coin the exit
we've lost so much of our roster
i think it's time that we tossed her
heads will roll, no matter tails
this time, i swear, seattle bails
ashes to ashes to ashes
dust to dust to dust
no more tiana cashes
no more blinded trust
this is not democracy
you've taken all the best of me
so we'll take all the best of you for ourselves
[unintelligible punk noises]
if we may be struck
at your behest
until our sword is in your side,
all the best
oh, all the best
until our sword is in your side,
all the best

Standing in outfield
looking at the pitching mound
Why did they light you in flames
Standing in outfield
Looking up in the sky
Do you see us play the games
We played for you
We won for you
But they took you away
hate the damn gods
They’re abusing their power
Nearly every single hour
we hate the damn gods
They’re abusing their power
Nearly every single hour
they took you to soon
Taking everyone
And lighting them up in
Flames
Standing in outfield
Looking into the gods eyes
All we can see is flame red
Wishing they would die
Standing in outfield
Looking at raining clouds
Floods come and douse them
Please douse out their eyes
They set our friends ablaze
So why wont floods drown out their flames
And Wash the gods far far far away
Like They Burned you
Like They stole you
like They Took You away
hate the damn gods
They’re abusing their power
Nearly every single hour
They took you to soon
hate the damn gods
They’re abusing their power
Nearly every single hour
they took you to soon
Taking everyone
And lighting them up in
Flames
I’m standing in outfield
looking at the pitchers mound
Wond’ring why they took my friend
I’m standing in outfield
Looking up to the sky
They should have took me instead
I’m standing in outfield
Looking up to the sky
They should have took me instead

Bedsheets
In my arms
Old clothes on
Unknown floors
Window facing
Busy Streets
And I wonder
Who can see me
And the rain falls
The rain falls down
And the rain falls
The rain falls down
I’m a wreck, let’s start again, I
Don’t know you, whoever I am
Now I’m stuck in this place
What can I do, where is my face
Misplaced
I can’t see
Who I’m meant to be
And the rain falls
The rain falls down
And the rain falls
The rain falls down
And the rain falls
The rain falls down
And the rain falls
The rain falls down

take us under
don't give in
flip us over
without within
out from under
sweep us away
pushing downward
keep them at bay
weightless
floating in the reeds
a lotus blooms
we grow from your seeds
take us under
over and out
we’ll take over
within without
out from under
falling trust
rising upward
fade to dust
weightless
keep our heads above the tides
breathe while we can
keep the emptiness inside
take us under
we won’t give in
we’ll take over
lose to win
take us under
we won’t give in
we’ll take over
lose to win

We’ve bridged our divide
And We are unified
We are unanimous and there is nowhere left to hide
The forecast is bright
The chaos you demand
Well we delivered and it’s all going to plan
In golden hours: the trail of embers
Dark Horizon approaches an end
The Desert Conflagration
History offers Preservation
Stay positive
Everyone wins
Stay positive
Begin
If we rise up
Or we fall down
It’s the same to them (it’s the same to them)
If the fire comes
or we all drown
It’s the same to them (it’s the same)
In golden hours: the trail of embers
Dark Horizon approaches an end
The Desert Conflagration
History offers Preservation
Go long
Go long
