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
