After returning to the physical world, Alphar the Redeemer must retrace the steps of their former self in order to make peace with those they have wronged and sooth the corruption left in their wake. We return to Omeghars altar to find that it has been transformed into a lush paradise where Alphar may begin to write spells and songs for a new world.
Mama (the state of things) Lyrics:
I grew up with a lot green around me.
Brought up with the finest of the finery.
But burning trees are the only thing that I see.
I numb the thoughts with another shot of Hennessey.
I'm in AU but the fires here are frightening.
The sky is red, and the streets are filled with violence.
People talking, they don't even know the half of it,
the government gets ready to sell up all that’s left
We're struggling to feel connection to each other.
Were triflin' we should have listened to our mothers
When they said "baby boy the world's your oyster"
‘cause wait too long and it's gone
with all our water.
How many times have you lied
tryna make sense of it?
How many times have you cried
tryna just get free? But it,
feels like the only one time
we even bother trying,
the man just kicks us back down,
and so we go on fighting.
Mama, I don't wanna go home.
Just let me stay another 5 minutes or so.
Mama, I don't want to go cold
but out here on the playground it's getting a little too warm.
Mother, can you hear me now?
Tryna save the world, fighting demons in the streets and
brother, do you fear me now?
Tryna save your heart, I can barely feel it beat
And love, do you feel it now?
Pouring out my light tryna make some heat
And heat, do you feel it now?
The earth is heating up and we can't stop it
We are the future of us and the only ones who can stop this.
Be, be victorious in slowing this down ‘cause we're running out of options.
See a future for us, one that's filled with nature and wild things,
free of those of us who would see it burn for profit.
Tryna keep my dollars on lock yeah
but that really don’t make no sense.
Tryna keep myself on top? Shit!
I'm barely on top of my health!
Is this all our people got? Shit!
I was thinking we were stronger than that!
Is this how we going to solve this?
Pretending we don't care?
Is this what the world has become?
Sympathy for you? I have none.
Trying to make your dough
while your children burn in tandem.
Is this all now all we cry
In the face of oblivion?
Well, it's alright, fingers in your ears,
just close your eyes and stand down!
Mama, I don't wanna go home.
Just let me stay another 5 minutes or so.
Mama, I don't want to go cold
but out here on the playground it's getting a little too warm.
Mama, I don't wanna no more,
just praying for another five minutes of hope.
Mama what the hell is this for?
Working tryna save you but they beating down the front door.
Mama, I don't wanna go home.
Just let me stay another 5 minutes or so.
Mama, I don't want to go cold
but out here on the playground it's getting a little too warm.
Mama, I don't wanna no more,
just praying for another five minutes of hope.
Mama what the hell is this for?
Working tryna save you but they beating down the front door.
I'm tired, I'm tired mama.
