Lyrics:
Home, in this game we play
Stunned, then whisked away
Staring out into a nightmare
Stuck years in the past
I stepped through the looking glass
And descended to an empty world.
Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life?
Those that died, they left behind
Cryptic writings to explain
Four heroes once were promised
Too late, these tablets and fossils
All that remains
Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life?
We will flood the sky
With unearthly light
But if every lantern dies
Do we all fall down?
Just a wish to sow
So I carved our hope
Filled it up
Then let it go
In a world lighter than air
Could a dream that’s lost be healed?
The hope I held beside me
Took flight as I entered this wasteland
Daylight revealed
Buried under the ground
Is there no hope
Waiting here to be freed?
Like this world we’ll be dead
Will we rise up
If I planted the seeds...
When I fall back to sleep and I’m dreaming
I’ll look up to the clouds
If it’s out there to see, to believe in
There’s no reason to doubt
Step out into the world
We're not homestuck
Take the chance to be free
‘Cause this land can’t be dead
We will rise up
So I planted the seeds
And I’ll bring it back to life.

Commentary:
Malcolm Brown:
Couldn't end my run on Homestuck without doing one last John/Showtime track! It's an orchestral smorgasbord of Ballad of Awakening, Lifdoff, Showtime and probably something else I've forgotten. Also makes use of Shepard Tones in the middle to give the impression of a constantly rising melody, (or just to sound annoying)
Didn't quite make the Volume 10 cut, but presented here for your enjoyment! :D
Alternative name: "Shave and a Heircut"

Lyrics:
I’m still wondering,
Where to go now,
We have seen the highest peak but there was nothing there, no truth, and how
I’m wandering,
Through all these places,
Lands of Little Cubes & Tea, of Wind and Shade, these null spaces.
I’ve stared at the stars, how they shine verdant dreams,
I’ve looked through the void, seen it crack at the seams,
I fought every challenge, these Devils and Gods,
They won’t know what hit them!
([S]ynchronize) With every BREATH resounding,
([S]ynchronize) We’ll see the LIGHT astounding,
([S]ynchronize) TIME keeps our heartbeat pounding,
([S]ynchronize) Now witness SPACE surrounding!
I’m still wandering,
In this Cascade,
See this Universe we made, will you remem8er me?
These games we played?
Our plundering;
Boonbucks and Grist,
Prospit and Derse,
In the end we gave them everything, our final verse.
I’ve sang with the muses, dead timelines denied,
I’ve hunted the wolf and seen planets Collide,
I’ve witnessed the end of these Gods and their Tiers,
And no one could save them...
([S]ynchronize) See this new LIFE we’re founding,
([S]ynchronize) Now with the VOID confounding,
([S]ynchronize) It’s all our HEARTs still sounding,
([S]ynchronize) Infinite HOPE abounding!
Showtime!
[Instrumental]
[Bridge: Her Imperilous Constatation]
([S]ynchronize) With every BREATH resounding,
([S]ynchronize) We’ll see the LIGHT astounding,
([S]ynchronize) TIME keeps our heartbeat pounding,
([S]ynchronize) Now witness SPACE surrounding!
([S]ynchronize) With every BREATH resounding,
([S]ynchronize) We’ll see the LIGHT astounding,
([S]ynchronize) TIME keeps our heartbeat pounding,
([S]ynchronize) Now witness SPACE surrounding!
This will be the end!
Come with me and we’ll Ascend!
Solving puzzles Universal,
In our Sburban Reversal!
All these Ruins we Explore,
Could it be there’s something more?
Pester me, I’m not alone,
I’m just Stuck inside my Home!
