Chapter Six: What lies beyond the door?

My master asked a songwriter we knew to write a song for me to sing. But that was a week or so ago. Today was the first day of practice.

"Ahh, good to see you again (Y/N)," Archibald said.

"Hello Archibald," I said.

"I want to hear this song," my master said.

Archibald started to play on the piano and I sang the lyrics.

'I saw the sun begin to dim
And felt that winter wind
Blow cold
A man learns who is there for him
When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
'Cause from that rubble what remains
Can only be what's true
If all was lost
There's more I gained
'Cause it led me back to you

From now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight
Tonight
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on

I drank champagne with kings and queens
The politicians praised my name
But those were someone else's dreams
The pitfalls of the man I became
For years and years
I chased their cheers
A crazy speed of always needing more
But when I stop
And see you here
I remember who all this was for

And from now on
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on
What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight
It starts tonight
And let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on
From now on
From now on!'

'And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!'

'From now on!'

'And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on!
And we will come back home
From now on!
Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on!
And we will come back home
From now on!'

"Yes!"

'Home again!
And we will come back home
From now on!
And we will come back home
From now on!
Home again!
From now on.'

'These eyes will not be blinded by the lights.'

'From now on!'

'What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight
It starts tonight

Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart'

'From now on'
