[Verse 1]
Level four
We made it past the things that wanted us dead
(barely)
The Queen says we have momentum now
The Hero says he always knew we would
(he panicked twice)
Aldric has a map of where we’re going
Castor found us food from somewhere
I don’t ask where
We are moving
[Pre-Chorus]
The Hunter is quiet
(unusually quiet)
The Queen notices first
She notices everything
[Chorus]
Where is your bow
(it’s fine)
Where is your bow
(I know where it is)
Where
(Level 2 okay it’s in Level 2)
(…)
(the checkpoint)
(near the gate)
(next to the big rock)
Where is your bow
We’re on Level Four
(I KNOW where it is I just said)
[Verse 2]
The Hero volunteers
(I’ll go back with him)
The Hero unvolunteers
(actually I should stay and protect the group)
Castor offers
The Queen says absolutely not
Aldric says he could map the route back efficiently
I say nobody is going alone
(nobody?)
Nobody
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then Aldric goes very still
The way he goes still when the map says something wrong
He pulls out a newer map
One we didn’t have this morning
He reads it once
He reads it again
[Chorus 2]
Where did you get that
(the gatekeepers left it behind)
What does it say
(something is moving through Level 5)
What kind of something
(the kind with a name)
(the hollow)
(…)
The Hunter looks at his empty back
Where is your bow
(okay so here’s the thing)
Where is your bow
(we need to go back anyway)
[Bridge]
We stand there
Six of us at Level 4
Looking at each other
The Queen doesn’t say I told you so
(which is almost scarier)
Castor starts walking back first
Without being asked
The Hero follows
(for protection obviously)
(the group needs me)
Aldric is already updating the map
And that’s how it goes
Sometimes the universe
Sends you back down
So you go back down
Together
[Final Chorus]
We’re going back
(we’re going back)
All the way to Level 2
(all the way to Level 2)
For a bow
(for a bow)
That someone forgot
(I said I know where it is)
We’re going back
All six of us
Because that’s what this is now
[Outro]
(how far is Level 2 from here)
Far
(how far is far)
Further than you want it to be
(this is the worst)
And yet here we all are
(…yeah)
Here we all are
