This here is a song rewrite that me and Callie came up with when we were planning new ideas for the Ninjago AU, which will reflect on how Callie and the others feel about the Overlord's rule. (Original song of Everybody Knows belongs to its original owners.)
Everybody knows the battle is over
Everybody knows what was the cost
Everybody knows happiness is gone
Everybody knows the Ninja lost
Everybody knows how it went down
The normal stay poor
The masters get crowns
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows exactly who was bleeding
Everybody knows exactly who lied
Everybody has the same feeling
The loss that leads to broken pride
Everybody knows the damage they caused us
Everybody knows how they lost our trust
That's the path they chose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that it happened
Everybody knows it's true
Everybody knows we're trying to help
Oh...we're just trying to get through
Everybody knows it wasn't supposed to end like this
Everybody knows Ninjago is lost to the abyss
This is an all-time low
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows the fight is drawing to a close
Everybody knows it's up to me and my team
And everybody knows it's up to us to oppose,
The Overlord's dreadful scheme
Everybody knows Ninjago is broken
Yet it all still goes unspoken
They don't want to be exposed
And everybody knows
Everybody knows the war is coming
Everybody knows it's getting closer by the day
Everybody knows everyone is getting tired,
Of seeing the world full of gray
Everybody knows this place is dead
All that's left is sorrow and dread
How are we supposed to reimpose
What everybody knows?
Everybody knows we're going to fight him
Everybody knows what this place's been through
If you heard the story yourself,
Would you believe it to be true?
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at your blackened heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows
(And that's about it, credit goes to CallieFan for the lyrics, hope you enjoyed the song.)
