Become the Knight

[Intro]
(Become the knight)
(Gonna become the knight)
(Gonna become the knight)

[Verse 1]
Just woke up not knowin' whose skin I'm in
Like my mirror, might be keepin' something hidden within
Expect to see my reflection, yet this isn't him
Tryna remember what happened, don't know where to begin
Feel like I'm locked up in a coffin
But I'm rockin' the sarcophagus
Knock it off the hinges, then I'm risin' like a monolith
Skyward, I'm divine, unto death and back I've traveled
They can wrap me tight in linen
But I'm bound to come unraveled
Cause I'm fragile, every part fractured
The heart of Marc Spector
Belongs to a god, Avatar of a dark protector
Anyone else with us is in for a ride
We're walkin' in the same skin, and yet we never unite
So we'd better align when we're setting our sights
Remember when the sun sets, something better will rise
We gotta keep the day safe by defending the night
Wherever shadows of evil tread, we are shedding out light

[Chorus]
(Ah-yah-yah)
Too long inside this sarcophagus, time to come alive
(Ah-yah-yah)
I got enough mommy problems, I won't be mummified
(Ah-yah-yah)
Wait for the sun to go down, I'm about to run the night
(Ah-yah-yah)
Under the watch of the moon, I'm gonna become the knight

[Post-Chorus]
(Become the knight)

[Verse 2]
You'll be walkin' on, walkin' on broken glass (Glass)
If you cast judgement, I'm the one it won't get past (Past)
Wouldn't wanna be in Ammit's sandals, it's a bloody trail (Trail)
She got skin in the game, so I came to tip her scales
I'm sorry if you follow her, you're clearly deceived
'Cause what you call worship is more of a pyramid scheme
But if a tyrannical deity's really your cup of tea
I think the psych-ward might be right where you oughta be
Who's got all the knowledge of the gods on lock
Give a hand to Steven Grant, man, I run this shop
But I'm about to shut it down, no one allowed after-hours
I may not be the manager, but damn it, I have powers
With my suit and tie, who am I? Mister lookin'-super-fly
You'll be seeing stars soon as you can see the moon tonight
I'm such a catch, even the gods wanna tie me down
But tomorrow morning, can't be sure where I'll be found

[Chorus]
(Ah-yah-yah)
Too long inside this sarcophagus, time to come alive
(Ah-yah-yah)
I got enough mommy problems, I won't be mummified
(Ah-yah-yah)
Wait for the sun to go down, I'm about to run the night
(Ah-yah-yah)
Under the watch of the moon, I'm gonna become the knight

[Post-Chorus]
(Become the knight)

[Verse 3]
I've conjured Khonshu to walk in my shoes, but don't ask how
I was broken when he found me, I don't want the cast now
What kinda god has all his fellows tell him, "Back down"?
Actin' holier than thou after you've been cast out?
You're minimizing violence, which isn't minimal
Don't need a Hippo to tell me it's hypocritical
But if you wanna stop Ammit, I can grant your wish, dude
Long as we don't forget to pick up more fish food

[Chorus]
(Ah-yah-yah)
Too long inside this sarcophagus, time to come alive
(Ah-yah-yah)
I got enough mommy problems, I won't be mummified
(Ah-yah-yah)
Wait for the sun to go down, I'm about to run the night
(Ah-yah-yah)
Under the watch of the moon, I'm gonna become the knight

[Post-Chorus]
(Become the knight)

[Outro]
(Gonna become the knight)
(Gonna become the knight)
(Gonna become the knight)
