Once again, I descend into the darkness. I'm not sure if I'm going to get out or not, but right now, I really don't care!

How can you see into my eyes like open doors

Leading you down into my core

Where I've become so numb.

"B…B…Baaaaaannnn!"

"I know, I know! Just…keep your head down."

Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold.

Until you find it there and lead it home.

Wake me up inside.

Wake me up inside.

Call my name and save me from the dark.

Bid my blood to run before I come undone

Save me from the nothing I've become.

"Kazu-chan? Is that who I think it is?"

"Yes, Juubei. It is."

"Who is he singing to?"

"I…can't tell."

Now that I know what I'm without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life.

Wake me up inside.

Wake me up inside.

Call my name and save me from the dark.

Bid my blood to run before I come undone

Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.

Bring me to life.

"Wow, Himiko! You never told us about this particular talent!"

"Shut up, Emishi. And keep your hands to YOURSELF!" SMACK

"Owwwww."

Frozen inside without your touch

Without your love, darling only you are the life

Among the dead.

"Baaaan. He's looking at me again!"

"Keep your head down, Ginji! It'll all be over soon."

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me.

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

Without a thought, without a voice

Without a soul

Don't let me die here

There must be something more

Bring me to life

"I think he sings rather well. Don't you, Shido-kun?"

"Madoka-chan, do not let go of my hand, no matter what."

"Oh, Shido-kun. You're always looking out for me."

Wake me up inside.

Wake me up inside.

Call my name and save me from the dark.

Bid my blood to run before I come undone

Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.

Bring me to life.

The man on the stage slid his hands back into his jacket pockets and disappeared into the shadows. Everyone in the karaoke bar released held breaths in a long sigh, not knowing why they had felt the need to hold oxygen in their lungs for an entire song. Crowded around one table in particular, eight people looked at each other and shivered. All of them wondered what the hell a certain Jackal had been smoking, conveniently forgetting that the retriever did not smoke. Ginji Amano glanced behind him, feeling extremely nervous. A flash of purple eyes, a faint purse of pale lips and the blond Get Backer was climbing his partner in chibi form, babbling in terror.

Akabane left the bar, smiling to himself. That had been…entertaining.
