Roguelike

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I sold my soul to the wolf god Knowing that the end was coming And I would need strength and cunning to survive So alive Liquid moonlight slides over blood on my fur Alpha musculature, limitless Mouth full of nightmares Bayonets on my fingertips No fear, no friends, no family, no witnesses My mission is survival Over rivals and competitors The apex predator The king of the wasteland Solitary sovereign My subjects: whatever flesh I press my claws in Yeah, the first few months of the apocalypse Were everything I wanted But now I wondеr where it all went Thеse humans are so weak I haven't seen one for weeks But I smell 'em and my stomach speaks As I learned how to hunt, they learned how to hide I killed so many But they survived and I died [Refrain] Respawn and remember The chorus always returns Why does this apocalypse feel so familiar? How many deaths 'til I learn My way back? My way home? [Verse 2] The second time I faced the end of the world I sold my soul to the tortoise god And built a bunker in the mountains With years of canned food Ammunition and supplies After one month Choked on some jerky and died The third time I faced the end of the world I sold my soul to the spider god And preyed on lone travelers Until one "lone" traveler's family found me I burned with my own web wrapped around me Fourth time I faced the end of the world I sold my soul to the bear god And just tried to hibernate through it It worked I made it further than the other runs But never stopped to wonder Further toward what? The fifth time I faced the end of the world I sold my soul to the snake god Eyes bottomless Wore a nice suit Spoke with a lot of confidence On his podcast, he said Men needed to be dominant And just take what we want And then forget the consequences Just be cynical, the stoic, the mythical The rugged individual Unlike those immigrants, trans people, and criminals You'll be one real man, under god, indivisible I listened, I bought all of his supplements Put every attribute point I had into toughness Learned other people were dead weight So I was all alone when the end came And all alone there's no escape [Refrain] Respawn and remember The chorus always returns Why does this apocalypse feel so familiar? How many deaths 'til I learn My way back? My way home? [Verse 3] The next time I face the end of the world I won't sell my soul I'll give it freely away To everyone I love I will give thanks 'Cause it was never individual strength That dictates who makes it It took humility and patience to learn No apocalypse is final or first A new one every minute We learn from who survived We learn from those who didn't We learn to live with limits And we learn how to hear The music of a world as it's breaking The question was never Whether this is the end or not It's what kind of end will we make it? I never learned much, but with help I learned how to hear The music of a world as it's breaking The question was never Whether this is the end or not It's what kind of end will we make it?
