Godwyn: I've fought dragons on the steps of Leyndell's door I've protected our people when you've gone off to war And I know the fight you fight is good But what I have never understood Is just how far you'll go To enact the things you say are so Will I be cast aside Just like father and his Tarnished pride Marika: Sweet child I'll never let harm Come to thee Ranni: Just a princess is all I had to be To protect our people and learn great sorcery But now I've been picked Empyrean Will I ever be free again Or be molded by her Queen Marika my stepmother Or worse thrust to power As a pawn for the Golden Order Rennala: Sweet child I'll never let harm Come to thee Marika: My sweet and darling boy My brave golden envoy Your father had to go For a future we can't know Rennala: My dear daughter Of the moon and cold water There's nothing to fear It will be clear Marika & Rennala: I know it's hard to understand But it's part of a greater plan If you cannot trust me Just have faith in the Erdtree Sweet child I'll never let harm Come to thee Godwyn & Ranni: How can I trust you Father's gone away How will this change us Family of the Erdtree

When your granny was a girl She lived in a different world Apples grew upon a tree What a funny sight to see (A sight to see) There were whistles in the breeze Nectar flowing from the trees Tales of harvest every year What a funny thing to hear (A thing to hear) Granny Smith is truly rolling in her grave Can she sense there’s been a great mistake? Back when granny was a kid There were creatures who could swim There was singing in the sea Sweet aquatic harmony (That harmony) Granny Smith is truly rolling in her grave Can she sense there’s been a great mistake? Granny’s earth was ripe, but souring is fast Granny — did she put her children last?

You haven’t had one of these in a long time Cause no one up here makes it Just right Makes it just like They used to make it at home You’re wearing an air of mystery But it doesn’t fit well It doesn’t sit right on you But you knew that all along You’re terrified the crowd knows why you’re here Who you’re waiting for But you’re not sure Let the thought pass And make small talk with the rocks in your glass Da da da da And the minute hand ticks on Da da da da And you wonder where he’s gone He said he’d be here right after seven But it’s almost eight Course he’s taking Forever You really should call it You know you know better But you can’t go right now So you circle the feeling All the secrets end tonight He promised you he was leaving So everyone might know just why you’re here Who you’re waiting for But you’re sure he’ll stay between your hips You’re the first name on his lips Da da da da And the minute hand ticks on Da da da da And you wonder where he’s gone Da da da da And the minute hand ticks on Da da da da And you wonder where he’s gone Any minute now You’ll hear him through the door Any minute - The sound of his shoes on the hardwood floor All smiles No maybes The hiding, the running - that’s pushing up daisies Please As the sun goes down Any minute now Any minute now…

Keep replaying you said to me While I walk home alone drunk every night I would accept a shitty apology Cuz I always want what shouldn’t be Streetlights flicker over and over Too much trouble staying sober I wish that you were the moon Every night I’d drink your light
