ten million heartbeats till I come back home
seven thousand songs still unsung
a myriad of dreams before I repent
for all of my heart’s dissents
ninety hundred lies till I find one truth
cast within the verve from my youth
seven dozens times naught and I was through
I’d cried when my whole was you
three-hundredth day of a first-born mistake
divided by the halves of what we break
and let go
and then let grow
T minus three seconds
till our day of reckoning
multiplies every star
high, far
by our tenfold scars
heartfelt deceit
filled with numbers, replete
everlasting retreat
deletes
the dark chains of my oubliette
repeat
every single
heartbeat
till our souls are complete
we’ll know no defeat
ten thousand skies
and a million goodbyes
still can’t pay all the price
of all sorrow and broken vice
I urged you to try
reaching heavens so high
past every open eye
so you may find
all the answers to your whys
yet I’m
slowly seeing
us dye
all the tears and the cries
with light
so strong and bright
of kings and their queens
and horizons unseen
every core seems to sing
of a brilliant reign
endless, our thoughts
they will haunt us for naught
but the bonds we have wrought
will be worth all that we have fought
and I’ll give a shot
to the hope you have brought
until this old core rots
and my heartbeats
are over and lost
only one heartbeat till I come back home
zero melodies left unsung
one last reverie so I may forgive
myself and let all your love
live

The quality of this album came to a huge surprise to me upon playing the game for the first time. Each new track clearly draws from its original counterpart, while adding its own flair and shooting up the intensity by tenfold. How it does this, I'm not even sure. Each track screams challenge and perfectly fits and boosts the shrill determination felt by the player (or at least me) upon entering each level. default_nano
