LYRICS:

Within this
Closeness
And stillness
Rest at last from war, the righteous fight
At last alone, we show the earth you’re mine
‘Til the only thing that guides us
Is the beating heart inside us
And the rhythm of our love throughout the night

Through two and a half pints of Sam Adams I saw you first
I started to sweat, when our eyes met, and you spit your verse.
You spoke of freedom, thought my heart might burst
Raise a glass to the moment you spoke that word
I knew I wanted to hear you say my name for the rest of my life.

Skin to skin, my fingers shaking
And your passion kept my heartbeat saying
John & Alexander 
When at last the sun had risen
The only freedom we were living 
John & Alexander

Even if it’s 
Only
Moments,
Stolen with intent, with tender tries,
Impatient tastes, and hasty alibis
I will never leave your side
Even as we lead the fight
You will never leave my heart or leave my mind 

Through smoke and blood and sweat I saw you smile
Everything made sense, for the first time in a while.
Held you in my arms and cried we’d won
While the world turned right side up for once 
You kissed my lips, and we made this world our own.

Skin to skin, my fingers shaking
Your passion kept my heartbeat saying
John & Alexander 
When at last the sun had risen
The only freedom we were living 
John & Alexander

Raise a glass, raise a glass,
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.
Raise a glass, raise a glass,
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.

Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Fandom: Batman
Character: Alfred Thaddeus Crane

You know what it is
I came through for that heavy work
Alfred Thaddeus Crane
Last name is penny worth 
at your service
As a permanent servant,
Fervently resourceful 
I clean a plethora of surfaces. 
Hope like your sarcasm 
No chaser
Allow me to draw you a bath
note paper.
There's no caper 
like the ones my client often has-
On top of that
I had to step in as his foster dad
It's kind of sad,
He lives a life I disagree with
But I support him in the ways 
I know he knows he needs it
In the family 
Is how we keep it
I want to do more for him 
but I got to keep the secret



Rise and fall
(a sword to fall onto)
knights were made
To chase the storm
I am yours
To use on a whim 
When the lights get dim inside 


It's the original 
guy in the chair 
I'mma die in this lair
sweeping up bat shit
dressed like Fred astair
He ain't the only one to suit up
On the daily
I just want my flowers 
while i'm brave and bold and 80
Call me crazy 
But my son is batty,
He's a baby daddy
Who's baby's bratty
Who I chauffeur and caddy
They go out on the weekends
And smack whoevers laughing 
Punch line
Jokes in passing
Jokers passing out
From choking 
He provoked
But cash and clout
doesn't mean you need to buy in
You're son only knows vengeance 
And all you're teaching him is violence 
You do what you're best at
I just should've been a better dad
And way less of a "yes man"

created a mad man 
cuz nobody past flash 
can stand
The god damn
bat lad
Who, nitty gritty,
treats the city 
like his own trash can
Gothams in a gutter
What a project of passion 
I mean you've been fighting crime,
77 years young
In brevity letting me clean up
While steadily enemies team
I'm getting it plenty that we fucked
Up 
All night, 
He's breaking laws and legs
Never reading Miranda rights
You'd think I fix bullet wounds for fun
This is what happens-
When you take orders 
And checks get signed by your son
I gotta call him master
This shits a damn disaster 
Stray batarangs in the wall
Here I come through with the plaster

Rise and fall
(a sword to fall onto)
knights were made
To chase the storm
I am yours
To use on a whim 
When the lights get dim inside
On the inside

Lyrics:
From pencil art that was stenciled dark,
We made it to big screen by Central park,
since then its hard when a friend depart,
might enter war with no mentor garp,
Quench my parched throat, Vengeful heart,
tempered sharp, three blades when tensions spark,
first mate, never play the henchmen part,
the adventure start with my redemption arc,
Poster i saw someone was wanted,
I always take some when i want it,
killed hundreds of hundreds,
Now i've become what i hunted,
pirate a rebel Cant climb to my level,
For the highest fruit you'd side with the devil,
I will not settle For a vine or a petal,
get my slice of loot when i swipe with the metal,


jack son for oro,
put a pain in your torso,
words cut like Zoro,
If the crew leave, i’ma keep solo,
Words cut like Zoro,
If the crew leave, i’ma keep solo,
Yeah i’ma keep solo ima keep solo,
Solo solo solo solo


You left me with this sword yeah,
You left without a word yeah,
remember what you swore, yeah?
I'm still fighting for ya, warrior

Feelings sheathed in a light scabbard,
reachin, cant beat me cuz im faster,
Reasoning might scatter, Piercing the white matter,
If you think to intervene in what i'm after,
Bandana on, rain is pouring,
Hurricane stormin, rage is dormant,
Your pains & goals just aint important,
i'm aiming to trade blows with the greatest swordsmen,
Not one of those popular hot guys,
Even my teachers watch me with hawkeyes,
That's what makes stoppin me not wise,
My bounty might topple the top prize,
chopper screamin, so I run to the sound,
Sharp & gleaming but it wasn't a crown,
one in each hand & one in my mouth,
Keep my name out yours, know what i'm About

Fandom: We Live
Character: One of the twelve supremes

You’ve seen that they’re weak. 
You’ve seen that they’re flawed . 
I’ve seen you asleep. 
They still kill for a god 
Ive seen you ignore all the Hate that they speak
like where is the love
i know that i only have faith in their greed 
they thirsty for blood 
so what is a life worth when stealing is light work and 
they live in the gutters and steer without rudders so really why earth 
why shouldn’t they die first 
reject the experience
why protect the invariance
the longer we wait the more likely that they might infect the experiment

I say we go ahead an let em wipe em selves out
they been shitting in the pool i wanna bail out
tryna buy a little time when the sale out
i say we leave em on their island and we sail out
cuz they should be terrified nothing but parasites left on a corpse that’s decaying
stew in the pot or leave them to rot it’s morbid but maybe the course we should take is abstaining
won’t see me cry when it’s raining
so let’s let them struggle but stay in their bubble cuz really tho i find the fight entertaining 
i know we started with the best intent
and creating a life is a blessed event but cut the tumor out or infection spreads
lost they don’t know what the message is

We live 
We die

That's right, I'm not the one to love
And but a fool to dream
That's right, I'm not the one to love 
My solo losing team
That's right, I'm not the one to love
Some plaything you don't need
Implied that I was good enough
but that wasn't what you'd mean

--

That's right, my Rose has thorns to spare
Chose from those who'd care, I didn't make the cut
Bright light's supposed to burn, so fair
Goes to show we shared unbidden cravings

But it's like time spent with gems depends
On whims and ends that tend to shift and bend for some
She'd lied but I played pretend because
(I thought we were best friends)

Such a clod to trust and want you
Ushered on through signs of threats
Hence rushed and got too much involved
You'd once upon new times for deference

Burned not read, deferred to death
While blurred intent left much distress
I learned instead, then heard he'd said 
(I love my friends)

--

That's right, I'm not the one to love 
And but a fool to dream
That's right, I'm not the one to love 
My solo losing team
That's right, I'm not the one to love
Some plaything you don't need
Implied that I was good enough
but that wasn't what you'd mean

--

I don't wanna play no more, forewarning
Know every available port is storming
Time to come and take what's yours
Performing hostilities for culpabilities you're ignoring

But I was so adorable, right? Your darling
Now I'm such horrible sight and starving
How durable is your world to blight? It's starting
Deplorable basket case not asking to bargain

Beg your pardon but the loneliest of stones hit the dark
In the garden where the only thing we'd grow is apart
Now I've hardened far too slowly, only known for the sharp bits
For audience of one heartless narcissist in charge

You're not her but hide behind a target shaped grin
You've prospered, denying me the cross I've beared since
Imposter! I've lost all so you could just exist?
Your roster's soon crossed off my to do justice list

--

That's right, I'm not the one to love 
Harm or be harmed it seems
That's right, I'm not the one to love 
Your turn to lose some things
That's right, I'm not the one to love
Now playtime's over, see?
Feels like now I'm not good at all
And I'm gonna watch you bleed

Cutscene 

[laughter]
Four freestyle rap heroes, called forth to embrace arcane dangers in a world not their own, at last face off against an eldritch abomination before their way home closes for good… Wait a second, is this game real?!


Verse 1

Right I wanna get it Underway, 
Multiplayer Gameplay Isekai Anime Roleplay,
Storydriven, live a little - hidden in the code, hey,
What’s a little AI when you’re in the know, eh?
5th player GM, now in the mem’ray
Tabulating scores with the lightning in the core
Game used to be a Tabletop, now it’s on a PC
Freestyle Rap D&D, that Steam Heat
Breeze past details, straight into the action,
Got new players into rap with a passion
Blast through con after con interaction
Formed new family to fight with, faction
Bicker in the group, entertaining, an attraction
MIC made of magic when a demon wanna cash in
FIGHT with the power from the Spectral Realm
Rap well: it’s only you, ‘gainst the powers of Hell!


Chorus 1

CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
THERE’S MAGIC IN THE MIC
CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
FREESTYLE TO SURVIVE
CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE


Verse 2

Now that you know what the Game is, watch as the Fates flip
Upside down to believe it; seen with incredulous eye
As every rap in the mind
Becomes a reason that your crew still breathing
Use an at-home mic, 
And watch an enemy life
Be taken down like the bars you full of,
You scream and you laugh as you snatch the wool off
Each Bardic (every well-timed hook) you pull off,
All you've done in the campaign to date
They on the run, why they old false gods awaked
We wouldn't let em have their way with the plane, we stayed,
And that's the difference between time that you find and make
But as a skyscraper sized wooden demon delivered,
Every sizzling sinner's nightmare they had in a pillory
We nipped the sitch and the stitching pretty, desynchronizing his milly
Synergy higher than ever Amp Check and bam we're in bizzy


Chorus 2

CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
THERE’S MAGIC IN THE MIC
CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
FREESTYLE TO SURVIVE
CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
[laughter]


Solo                
 

Chorus 3

CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
THERE’S MAGIC IN THE MIC
CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
FREESTYLE TO SURVIVE
CHECK! YOUR! SKILL!
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
YOUR RAPS’LL COME TO LIFE
