The Near Future III. Battle

Lyrics

[Instrumental] [Plot] Finally, the light turns green and the boy peels away I As he rounds the next bend, he comes upon four men attacking a girl by the side of the road. Instinctively, he slams on the brakes and jumps out of his car to try and defend her The four men turn on him with vacant expressions, and begin to advance Outnumbered and weaponless The boy nonetheless decides to stay and fight If nothing else, he hopes his sacrifice might Give the girl time to escape He raises his fists, prepared to go down swinging When all of a sudden a strange blue light flares out from his palms And an alien symbol blazes to life on the back of his hands The four attackers pause for a moment, taken aback Then they charge Ii What should have been a quick defeat Somehow turns out to be a fair fight With his hands radiating blue fire The boy finds himself in control of skills and Powers he has never possessed, and by sheer force of will He is able to keep his four attackers at bay Iii The men pause, reevaluating the boy Then they advance again This time at full force, in a chaotic attack formation Designed to maximise the advantage of their numbers As he considers the girl these men have been attacking The boy's fury begins to rise Who are these strange men And why do they think they can get away with Hurting this defenceless girl? Iv Suddenly, the light starts surging forth from his hands Completely overpowering his attackers Dealing blows that send them flying into the air All at once they cease their onslaught The four men share a look Then in unison, they flee Panting, the boy turns around to find that the girl has remained, staring at him in utter confusion As his adrenaline recedes He suddenly realises that even though she is battered and bruised She is the single most beautiful girl he has ever seen Then, just as he opens his mouth to speak She leaps up and runs away into the night He stands there stunned, as the blue light emanating from his hands begins to flicker, then fades away altogether Finally gathering his wits, the boy runs after the girl But she disappeared without a trace He walks back to his car and spends the rest of the night driving around Searching desperately for any sign of her But it's no use The sun is rising, and the girl is gone
