LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Last round at the dive bar
Coat picked up, crew moving out
You better come back
That bounty is not high enough
That is not acceptable
Okay
I will see you when I see you
Just that
Just that and then the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Eight left at the table
From fourteen
I have a suggestion
The last time you had a suggestion we ended up in the negative zone
That worked out
In the loosest possible definition of that phrase
[Chorus]
Journey home
Even when home does not know your name
Journey home
Even when the door has changed its face
Someone there remembers who you were
Before you forgot
Before the fold took what it found
Journey home
Let the old world say your name out loud
[Verse 2]
The old world — the one before the levels
The one before the mission
She should see where she came from
The maps say it is the next step
The higher beings there will trap her
She is their new religion
She does not even know that
This is extremely dangerous
Undead maps won
Lara wrote in her notes: I lost
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Will there be a bar
There is always a bar
One small step toward the door
Lion hide on
Where are we going
Somewhere you have been before
Hm
[Bridge]
The old world looked like a painting
someone had walked out of
Rigel was behind the bar
He looked up
He stopped
Came around slowly
Went to one knee
Every person in the room
Did the same
This is an excellent bar
Already holding something
Sat down and looked at the ceiling
She looked at all of them
On their knees
Why are they doing that
To them —
you are what comes after the old gods
I do not know what that means
They do
Lara was writing very fast
[Final Chorus]
Journey home
Even when home does not know your name
Journey home
She is standing in the room
Where she became what she is
And she does not know it
And they all do
And everyone stays very still
Journey home
Let the old world say your name out loud
[Outro]
Welcome back, SOLARA
That is my name
Yes
People keep telling me that
It is because it is true
You helped me build this bar
Hm
