Take Control (from “Control” soundtrack)
Take control, take control
I see a vision rising, dreary
Fading in as children play twilight games
In the town called Ordinary
An eye of light reveals a gateway to doomsday
In that projection of reality
Something passes through the stars, shifting walls
Enter agents of ill fantasy
For evil holds you in its arms, false alarms
Illusory, treading on reality
Polaris in a web of hypocrisy
Take control, take control
Oh, can’t you see, see the light is fading?
And in the night the demons rage and call your name
No deeper madness than your own making
Visions lashing blades of shame, but will you take the blame?
Hissing noises in the hallway
Bloodshot eyes, staring through, what seeds are sown?
Who’ll survive the blood red power play?
Who’ll take control, whose name will be known?
Illusory, reality’s all fallacy
Polaris in a web of hypocrisy
Take control, take control
I wish I’d had the wherewithal to find you when I had the chance
Instead I danced with death in fervour’s skin
I missed the moment before the fall to recognise I had a voice
A choice to stop it all from happening
If only I could save you from the pain
A rising sense of awe and wonder
A might I see has always been deep within me
I can feel my inborn power
I call the shots when it’s all finally clear to see
And so I’m drawn ever deeper
In the Oldest House and all these empty rooms
This vacant, spellbound mystery motel
Where I’m the keeper, where I set the rules
Potency is my new reality
Polaris living now inside of me
I control, I control
Herald of Darkness (from “Alan Wake 2” soundtrack)
From what I’ve gathered you grew up nice and sheltered
With mama’s pretty stories and your own made up furies
And mama gave me a magic clicker
Well yes, I think it’s true and fair to say
C’mon in and listen, lost words you’ve been missing
Of the fire you’re bearing, the eye of the darkness, your light
So you were drawn to stories early on
My dreams would light up my imagination
And you had nightmares night and day
Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away
Who knew?
So true
So here is a clue of hope to remember
Visions they come true obeying the light switch too
Show me the Champion of Light
I’ll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never ending night
Diving deep to the surface
And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers
of hardboiled killers became bestsellers
It was all too much, I had to get away
The story’s the end all, a piece of true fiction
Made meaningless in the face of creation
But there is more to it than meets the eye
I never meant for it to ruin my life that way
Would you say you lived a jaded lie
Dark shades could never save the day
So sad,
But true
Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch
A gift or a curse, a reality made of dreams
Show me the Champion of Light…
He could write a new story like Tom Zane before him
And maybe they’d be happy once again
Just one shot, one more chance for him to save their marriage
Away from the city, a romantic getaway
Still he’s the torch bearer and it couldn’t be much clearer
A war needs its warrior, true and right
But the darkness within him held her hostage
Had he seen her drowning, would have save her from the darkness of the lake
Show me the Champion of Light…
Such a Dark Place? Am I trapped in here
Is this real? I cannot remember
There was a manuscript it held a key
A vicious cycle I must not surrender to
Echo scenes to seek out
Again and again
Until I figure it out
To bring this song to its end
Show me the Champion of Light…
