This is my last Homestuck track. (Well, it's intended to be...) It's been an amazing run with the Homestuck fandom. Thank you for being there for my music and making me realise it's not bad!

The bittersweet tragedy and cosmic tone of Homestuck always reminded me a bit of Chinese novels and folk tales, I thought it'd work if I brought my (already overt) Chinese music influences into the track. The backing lyrics at the end roughly translate to "We'll fly forth together / unafraid of the cold and dark / enter the brilliance of the new universe / conductor of the spacetime orchestra."

Lyrics:
Don't be afraid
For no more will you be lonely and friendless
Don't be afraid
We share this space, dark and endless
Too long you've stayed
And though your fate anchors down your spirit
Too long you've stayed, my friend
Let's talk a minute

We've met before, I know your voice
But from which dream, I'm not sure
This is the pause in between the applause
And the overture

Friend, we'll face tomorrow
On the seams of space, we'll sew the past and future
Here's where we start, when the curtains part
To reveal the conductor
The light and darkness dovetail
As the needle threads the tale from past to future
Here we part, fortune guide your heart
Can you hear the orchestra stir?

I recall, I see it all,
A thousand deaths by fire
And you've waited here, but its time that you go
Now the time draws near

Friend, we'll face tomorrow
On the seams of space, we'll sew the past and future
Here's where we start, when the curtains part
To reveal the conductor
The light and darkness dovetail
As the needle threads the tale from past to future
Here we part, fortune guide your heart
Can you hear the thunder?

My friend, we'll face tomorrow (我们一起向前飞 不怕寒冷不怕黑)
Don't you be afraid, a new story starts (进入新宇宙光辉 时空乐团的指挥)
(我们一起向前飞)
When the curtains part (不怕寒冷不怕黑)
To reveal the conductor (进入新宇宙光辉 时空乐团的指挥)
The light and darkness dovetail (我们一起向前飞 不怕寒冷不怕黑)
The scorelines burn and they'll (进入新宇宙光辉 时空乐团的指挥)
(我们一起向前飞)
Return (不怕寒冷不怕黑)
Can you hear the page start to turn? (进入新宇宙光辉 时空乐团的指挥)
