[ Pace ]

Mystery keeps beckoning
Threatening my name
All the same
In this game of chasing a figure
Run quicker
Yet, why does this all seem familiar?
Am I chasing a ghost?
Am I chasing the past?
Am I saving the most?
Do I miss what I had?
Have I been here before?
Have I sung this same score?
Will I soon leave this door?
Quoth the raven, nevermore

[ Pace, The Shadow, Both ]

What...
...Have we here?
The mighty knight appears
It's the hero foretold
In the tales of old
Although he’s struck with fear
I'm the lights, he's the deer
You can freeze but
Never cease your ventures!
Holding dear
The dark itself is near
In the world as whole
You don’t fit the mold
A soul of void, how queer
Let me make one thing
Clear
I fear you're not the thing
I'm searching for!

I've taken my time
Trekked through the leaves and the grime
And though our roads begin to intertwine
I'll be just fine!

You keep assuring yourself
While I take what's mine (I'll take what's mine!)
You keep on pacing yourself (Pacing myself until that chime)
Until the chime of the bell
That lets you know you’re still alive!

I don’t know what to trust
But that chime could never lie. (That chime could be a lie)

So keep your senses in check
And begin your climb
An unwanted duet
Hinders me as I (Hinders your mind's eye!)
Climb and I hike
Through the halls
As it calls my name
While you strike
As you stalk
Like it’s all a game

Call it shame
But am I really to blame?
You're just so easy to rend and maim
To drive insane

Out of the blue and the purplish hues
You emerge and abuse
Then you cruise through the skyline
Eclipsing stars (Eclipse the brightest of stars)
Binging har (Binging har)
This action takes some getting used to!
(Such action takes some getting used to!)

[ Pace, The Shadow, Both SECTION 2 ]

RUN RUN!
GRATIFICATION TASTES BEST
DECAYED WITH
(TIME!) Who the hell do you
Think I am?
My name is pace!!
I'm not your
(guy!) IGNORANCE
WONT HAVE YOU SPARED
IT'S YOU WHO DARED
TO COME HERE ON
(YOUR OWN!) Listen, man
I’m really scared!!
I'm not prepared to fight so hold the phone!
We're both here for reaching a similar goal (What's your goal?)
What use could you possibly have for (Gimme those chaos emeralds)
Those chaos emeralds?

Exterminate, reanimate
Assimilate your thoughts into my own

Deprecation cultivating
Into a beast from the unknown!

Holding dear
The dark itself is near
In the world as a whole
You don't fit the mold
A soul of void, how queer
Let me make one thing clear
I fear you're not the thing
I'm searching for

After all
After all, we both saw
How you flinch at the sight of my jaws!
You're quick to assume
The world hasn't room
For improving in truth
Your kind is doomed to fall! (After years in this place)
We're all face with bittersweet release (Fall, Fall!)
And while you reap (Take the leap and fall!)
The karma I sow
You bank that I'll show you (Show the way...)
The way that I know
Before we slip and fall! (Before you fall!)

[ Pace ]

Give my all
I swing and miss
This casted call
Still persists
Is it really worth it? (But don't count me out because I know what I'm worth)
Am I worth it? (And I won't run like I have before!)
Though doubt rears it's head
I'm set on saving what I'm fighting for!

[ Pace, The Shadow, Both ]

Smell the petrichor
In the storm of storms
Our hero fights and he fights but conforms!
Tonight the swarm
Raptures your feeble form!

Keep on pushing forth
In the eye of storms (In the storm of storms)
Throw my fears to the side (Wipe your tears to the side)
I tried to forget (And try to forget)
What I could prevent (What you could prevent)
But I won't let (If you don't mind,)
You (LET! ME!)
Inside! (INSIDE!)

SEEKING ESCAPE WITHIN
YOUR COFFIN HOLDS THE
NAILS THAT YOU'RE SMASHING IN!
(How delightful...) A mindful of your energy
Won't better me
My conscience is mine!
Although I'm spiteful of this enemy
I'll never let his darkness (HAHAHAHA!)
Dim my shine!

I'm far above your petty tactics (You're too amusing!)
Don't pretend that we're the
(Same!) THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HOLD
(I'll keep refusing!) IS BUT A FRACTION OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I'VE
(GAINED!) Pace, restrain, control myself
(You're leaving room for me) I'd fight a million fights to keep me sane
I'll give my life, my heart, my soul (JUST LET ME USE YOUR)
Before I offer up my
BRAIN!

[ Hyper/Dream-bender Pace, The Shadow, Both ]

(RRRGAAAAHH!)
But now the storm has passed
And my doubt has as well
Whether in heaven or in hell
I won't dwell within the past

Go and preach
So the masses, like yourself, will see (The masses, like myself, will see)
When we save my grace (When we save his grace)
Just how perfect we can be! (Just how perfect we can...)

How was I so blind
Not to side with the savior of man? (On the side of the saved!)
To not follow his plan? (Follow my plan)
Now it's time! (And in time)
We'll make the world a flawless place
And that flawlessness...
It starts with

(Pace!) Pace, at the right hand of the father
Wreaking order on the land!

Making sure every little thing's
Exactly as he planned!

Now, with the wisdom of an angel
You will do as I command!

Offer up your wisdom
Only then, his kingdom will expand! (Expansion)

Through the shade of which we cast
A new world order is

(Made...) Through the shade of which we cast
A new world order can't be delayed...

Utopia is one step closer
Promised paradise should not dismay!

Live in melancholic bliss
My dearest friends
Don't be afraid!

[Pace, Brains, Brawn, Chef Sauté, BOTH]

Pace
Although he's got you against the ropes
You don't have to fight alone!

Brains
In his world, we'll go further beyond
As we set out upon one more quest
Don't resist
This world is gone! (Knock)

Some sense into your head (Oh, brawn!)
You're talking like a freak
And wreaking death 'till there's nothing left!

You're looking at the better me
At the hero I turned out to be! (Quite the hero you turned out to be!)

Now we convene as one (We merge now as one)
For taking a stand
The armageddon's begun (In the black sun!)
And we're part of something

(Grand...) You play a part in bigger plans
Pay your toll
Son of man (Graaaaaaand!)
Lay your soul
You're part of something grand!

I now present an entree fit for lords (Praise the lord, oh)
Made from blood and ardor
Come forth, I'm ready for your feasting (Come forth, I'm ready for the feasting)
For your appeasing (For such appeasing)
ASKS FOR NOTHING MORE!

[ Pace, Rosy, Both ]

When things get rough (Safe to say, when things get rough)
Confide in me (You'll be there to make things right)
And I'll make things right, my love (Enough's enough)
Let me bring you to your feet, now (My feet aren't touching the ground)
You'll find your mind's... (I'm finding my mind..)
MINE
