Lyrics by Katt McConnell, music by Katt McConnell with thanks to Wax Chaotic
Commissioned by Brat Conway for the game “The Chronicles of the Lost Dimensions”

lyrics

It was always easier to hide,
To never turn to face the shadows
Behind
Or the monster inside…

My secrets should never be revealed,
For they’re dangerous to all those I
Love—
But now they can’t be concealed,
For the nightmare is real,
And the truth will at last be my shield!

Some choose adventure
Some are chosen by fate
If I know what’s good for me I’ll choose
To escape

To some, it’s all about winning
To some, it’s all wealth and fame
Here, right now, it’s only about
Surviving through the game.

You are not the only one that finds
They have a destiny that tangles and
Binds
With chains of many kinds…

If it kills me, by gods, I’ll follow through—
I’m not a hero, I just do what needs
Done.
But this I promise you:
Your fetters I’ll undo!
(And maybe I’ll save myself, too.)
