This is War

(Karkat's POV)

I hope you hear me and stand up, go after Jack Never turn back, No matter what they say. We'll fight him to the end until we fall, we'll carry on, we'll carry on and though you're dead and gone believe me your memory will carry on, Will carry on

And if I'm broken and defeated I hope I can continue, On and on I'll carry through the sights, no, no, no everyone it seems, no, no, no,

Don't look down on me Because I could not save you ALL

Even if you won't forgive me Not even jack will ever take my heart (When I was a young child I'd always imagine that I'd grow up to be somebody great)

He can try, he'll never break me. I've got to win I've got to make this right

Won't explain or say I'm sorry still ashamed but now I shout a loud

(At the time I envisioned that I'd be this celebrated leader)

Battle cry for all the fallen should have done

(That glory would be ours)

Just a fool (you're just a fool) I'm not a leader (you're not a leader)

Just a kid who played a game called war, just a kid I'm not a leader

\AND I don't care ANYMORE!

And when we're dead and gone believe me our memory will carry on, Will carry on.

And when Jack's finally defeated, they'll tell our story cause we've won, won't explain or say I'm sorry. Not ashamed so now we shout a loud Battle cry for all our allies now we've found ourselves a brand new start.

If I'm a fool, if I'm a leader I'm still a kid who played a game called war just a kid and I'm the leader. KNIGHT OF BLOOOOOOOOD!.

After taking a deep breath after that last word and hear the loud shouts coming from the huge audience in front of me.

"Thanks of coming see you later New York" I yell into the microphone before placing it on the stand, giving a wave and walk off stage with my band the "Knights of blood" you see my name is Karkat Vantas and as I walk into my dressing room I think about the people that song was for all 11 of them, I promised my Grandfather that one day I will get them back, get them to remember and get him back,

I was six years old when my grandfather told me the story of 12 trolls, all follow the zodiac signs, play a game and something went terribly wrong and they had to leave before they were all destroyed, but it came with a price, to go to the other world, their memories, their lives all reset so they don't remember their lives as trolls he told me at six that they will be a time when I remember something and he

made me promise before he passed away to remember and don't think it's just a weird dream and embrace the memories.

At the age of 13 I saw images with the trolls he talked about and I saw 11 different people that I felt I had a deep connection with all of them then I remembered their names and our whole lives leading up to the transfer and it's been four years since then.

When I get into my dressing room I walk over to a old picture of me and my grandfather with my father, Kankri, he called my grandfather the Signless because to me he didn't need a label he was already my hero.

"I'm still looking for those fuckers Grandpa, I don't care if it takes me the rest of my life I will keep our promise and get them back I swear".
