The World Was Wide Enough
MALE COMPANY:
One two three four
FULL COMPANY:
Five six seven eight nine—
Desjardins:
There are ten things you need to know!
Company:
Number one!
Desjardins:
I followed them after they entered at dusk,
They would have to fight both Apophys and Menshikov? Oh my!
Company:
Number two!
Desjardins:
They got to the Sunny Acres and left full crew:
The awoken Ra and the dwarf that they knew.
Company:
Number three!
Desjardins:
I examined Ra, who was looking like a grain.
I prayed he'd be better when reunited with Khepri again.
How could have I been so poisoned by Vlad's pursuits.
I do my best to hide when Menshikov and I cross routes.
Company:
Number four!
Desjardins:
They survived even after getting in a tough position.
Those kids were better than me in fulfilling Ma'at's mission.
I regret that I didn't trust a Kane's ability.
That all Demon Days reports scream 'deniability'.
Company:
Five!
Desjardins:
Now, I didn't know this at the time,
But we were -
Desj+The Kanes+Julius:
Here for the same reason (For the same reason)
their mother died, is that (our mother died, is that)
Why- (Why-)
Company:
Six!
Desjardins:
Their eyes were filled with such rigor?
I am honestly stunned by those kid's vigor.
Company:
Seven!
Desjardins:
Confession time? Here's what I got:
To save them I am ready to throw away my shot.
Company:
Number eight!
Desjardins:
Now it's my turn to take a leap of faith.
Here I come, the backup, ready to set the record straight.
Russia would never share with the masses,
But look it up, Menshikov's eyes were turning red under the glasses!
Why! trust him when I knew he's not the same?
It's up to them, the world will never be the same.
I had only one thought before the slaughter:
Amos doesn't deserve to endure more horror.
Company:
Number nine!
Desjardins:
Look him in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then chant:
Company:
One two three four five six seven eight nine
Number ten! He did it, oh ye—
Desjardins:
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me, on my feet, sev'ral feet ahead of me?
I see it coming, do I run or refuse to be done or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody
Vlad, my first friend, my enemy
Maybe the last face I ever see
Why did you decide for this to be your legacy?
What would be my legacy?
Legacy? What is a legacy?
It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
Iskandar, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even out-of-House immigrants
Can leave their fingerprints and rise up
I'm running out of time. I'm running, and my time's up
Wise up. Eyes up
I catch a glimpse of the other side
My sister leads a soldiers' chorus on the other side!
My wife is on the other side!
She's with my mother on the other side!
Julius is waiting to judge me on the other side.
Teach me how to say goodbye,
Rise up! Rise Up! RisE UP!
Amos
Kid, take your time.
I don't want to see you on the other side.
Raise a glass to freedom!
Sadie:
But if he does this he'll die!
Wait!
Desjardins:
I feel the burning pain in my ribs.
They run towards me on the boat as it continues on it's way.
I give them simple instruction.
That's the last time I blink.
Company(mostly ghosts):
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
Desjardins:
I make my way down dead's streets.
Company:
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
Desjardins:
Somebody tells me: "At least you tried."
Company:
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
Desjardins:
They say
Desjardins+Julius+Ruby:
Sadie and Carter
Both made it out alive.
Desjardins:
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints.
It takes and it takes and it takes
History obliterates
In every picture it paints
It paints me and all my mistakes.
When I send the snake far away from the sky
I might've payed the prize to dye,
But saving the world is something they were maid for, yeah.
I have to believe they were maid for it.
Now I'm the villain in your history
I was too young and blind to on time see...
I should've known
I should've known
The world was wide enough for both the Kanes and me
The world was wide enough for both the Kanes and me
