The Man in the Mirror

Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade

A desolate place (place)
Without any trace (trace)
It's only the cold wind I feel
I'm losing the light as I try to find
That piece of me lost in my brain

My conscience is blank
All reason is dead
Red is all I see
There's only one voice that is left in my mind
The only thing I know for real

There will be blood (blood!) shed (shed!)
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one (one!) left (left!)
Will ride upon the dragon's back

Because the mountains don't give back what they take
Oh no, there will be blood (blood!) shed (shed!)
It's the only thing I've ever known!

Needlessly striving, perpetually blinding
I'm sickened by the smell of death
Walking alone in this forsaken road
Eternally holding my breath

I'm losing my mind (my mind)
My thoughts left behind (behind)
It's only the screaming I hear
It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real

There will be blood (blood!) shed (shed!)
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one (one!) left (left!)
Will ride upon the dragon's back

Because the hardest battles are with myself
Oh no, there will be blood (blood!) shed (shed!)
It's the only thing I know!

Losing my identity
Wondering, "Have I gone insane?"
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height and never realizing why I fight

There will be blood (blood!) shed (shed!)
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one (one!) left (left!)
Thought remaining in my head

And that's the mountains won't give back what they take (they won't give back what they take)
Oh no, there will be blood (blood!) shed (shed!)
It's the only thing I'll ever know!

### Verse
The night is calling
The lights are fading
The glow is beckoning

Lit up in color
Feels like no other
There’s so much happening

It’s hypnotizing
It’s mesmerizing
Can’t take my eyes off you

The things you show me
It’s like you know me
And what you see is true

### Chorus
Into the sunrise
We will dance all night
So captivating
Can’t sleep!

### Tag
Up all night
Soul alight

### Verse 2
The music’s thumping
My heart is pumping
Not sure I can go on

Deadline approaching
Tension is growing
Won’t stop until the dawn

### Chorus 2
Into the sunrise
We will dance all night
Gotta keep going
Cast off sleep for the lights
Never perfection
No don’t worry now
So captivating
Can’t sleep!

### Bridge
The music’s waiting here for you
Always waiting here for you
Always just a step away (just a step away)
Tune in and disco to the groove 
Always something new to do
Bringing happiness today

### Final Chorus
Into the sunset
We will dance ‘til night
Anticipation
Can’t contain my delight

The music’s waiting here for you
Always waiting here for you
Always just a step away
Tune in and disco to the groove
Always something new to do
Wide awake

### Tag
Up all night
Soul alight



Morning Sky

Dreaming of the stars on high
That speak to me in secret sighs
Drifting on a breeze 
Only I can feel and hear

Could it be the sacred wind
That's calling me to now begin
To walk into the dark
Copying the light of tomorrow

Beating of the wings up high
Beyond the earth, beyond the sky
Come now, don't hesitate
Don't look back, we've got to go now
Don't fear, you'll be safe from now on
Morning sky watching over all.

Deep inside so silently my heart will speak
Weeping silently
Memories flickering and shimmering on endlessly

Keeping close to the path
Morning sky watching over all
Moving on the endless mountains up so high
Walk into the light, 
Your heart will see the path 
And you will find the way
Just wait and...

Moving on the endless sky up so high
Tomorrow will follow any route 
Your promise is today
Just wait and see.



Where I Will Always Belong

Warm as flame
Sweet as rain
Hearths of stone
Welcoming home
Kith and kin
Coming in
Sharing love
And memories of

This place, these homes and families
For everyone except for me
All these towns are not my home
Destiny will ever keep me alone

Rush of battle, a monster's staring me down
I'll never give up this ground
Pounding heart propels my swing
I hear the steel sing

Danger lurking round every place I can see
It brings out the power in me
Take my blade, my blood, my life
On the edge of a knife

Gazing at the sky, shed no tears
Never hesitating, never give in to fear

Heart's aflame
Sweat and pain
Elements to guide me
Companions fight beside me
To save the world
It's all up to us

These towns are not my home
The battlefield is where I will always belong



My Ford Still Rages Within

[SNAKE]: Colonel. Long time no see.
[CAMPBELL]: Snake. Today's briefing is of the utmost importance.
[SNAKE]: What is it, Colonel?
[CAMPBELL]: I'll be telling you all about the Ford Focus SE.
[SNAKE]: A Ford?
[CAMPBELL]: Yes, Snake. You should know, the Ford Focus SE comes with a standard rear-view camera. Plus, it has an EPA-estimated 36 highway miles-per-gallon.
[SNAKE]: EPA-estimated 36 highway miles-per-gallon?! That's remarkable!
[CAMPBELL]: Yes, Snake. The Focus SE is the perfect vehicle for driving around Shadow Moses Island.
[SNAKE]: Colonel, let me stop you. I'm going to Fulton Extract myself a Ford Focus SE right now.

Looking down on the cars on the highway
A stream of tail lights
Everybody advancing together
To so willingly sacrifice rights

When people accept they're cogs in the system
Give up free will, conform
Individual pieces of dust swirl together
And become a full storm

Looking down on the burgeoning city
The skyscrapers rise
Even men with the greatest intentions
Start believing in their own lies

We can borrow from the future
But eventually someone's got to pay
The only way out of the cycle
Is to strike out and pave your own way

[Extremely passionate kazoo solo]

[VO]: The bridge of this song was brought to you by Ford.
[VO]: Ford. If it's good enough for Snake, it's good enough for you.
[VO]: Except he's canonically really old now, so if it's good enough for an old man, you should drive one too. Ford!
[VO]: Uh, alright. So, my lawyers are telling me that, since I don't want to get sued, I should put a disclaimer that this is a parody.
[VO]: But I totally would promote it if you paid me. So, heh, send me a free car.

We all fight our own fight
Will you fuel the desire to win?
Always struggling with the truth
Of the life that might have been

But no matter how jagged your path is
You always come back to the road
When the dust of battle settles
My Ford still rages withiiiiiIIIIIIIINNNNNNN
