Trailer dialogue

"You are a part of Rhodes Island, and also... our dearest friend.
The journey ahead of us will still be long and ardous, but now we have you with us."

Kal'tsit: Is that... really worth it? Amiya...
Amiya: Even if no one understands me... I'll keep going on the path I choose. Maybe it will incinerate me to dust... But if I don't do it, no one can.
...
Kal'tsit: In the past few years, Originium has become the lifeblood of the world. It first gave birth to Greed, Power, Pain, Hatred. And soon it breeds countless monsters - Us. We were deprived of our identities, and were named — The Infected.
Amiya: We were manipulated. We were betrayed. We were blinded with hopes. And the dead never returned... If the footprints of life are destined... To be buried by time, then we will never stop moving forward. Dr. Kal'tsit, be our dawn...
Kal'tsit: But what about you?
Amiya: With my companions, I am never alone. After all, we are... Arknights.

"Great ideals but through selfless struggle and sacrifice to achieve."

Story-related

"Ah, it’s you. It's been a long time since we've last seen each other. During this time... you've been teetering on the edge of a cliff. You may have forgotten who you are, but remembering your name is enough... It's time. Don't linger here for too long. You aren't my guest yet, nor should you even be here. She still needs you.
December 23rd. You may not remember what this date means to you. And this will thrust you into peril... No... You must try to remember."
A Mysterious Voice, Prologue

"The ancient Knights of Kazimierz were all buried with their riches near the lands they once called home. Their souls protect these unmarked graves for all of eternity. Only those who fear not sacrifice and possess the true, dauntless bloodline of Kazimierz may open the path."
Bounty Hunters' rumors, "Grani and the Knights' Treasure"

"...Dr. {nickname}...
...I never thought I would be the one who didn't want to let go.
But I have to do this. This is the only way you'll get to live.
...Oh, {nickname}... With this, we won't ever get to meet again.
I can't. I can't accept this. I won't give up.
Dr. {nickname}, the connection between us will transcend even time and space. I am sure of it.
Even if the ocean completely boils away and the atmosphere vanishes, even if all the moons in the sky are pulled into the vortex of our planet's gravity, and even if the sun continues to mercilessly expand, eventually swallowing up all its children until none can be heard...
I am sure we will meet again. At the far end of our civilization, once adorned by darkness and the brilliance of the stars up above, we will meet once again.
I will wait until that day comes. I promise you I will. Wait for me. You must wait for me too.
...Dr. {nickname}. Don't ever forget about me."
Priestess's last words before putting Doctor into the Sarcophagus on Rhode Island

Lyrics

    Boiling Blood 
We're not gonna lose! (Not gonna lose!)
We're not gonna give up this fight!
(Not gonna get us, get us!)
(They're not gonna get us, get us!)
We've nothing to lose! (Nothing to lose!)
I know it all ends here tonight! (Tonight!)
(Not gonna get us, get us!)
(They're not gonna get us, get us!)

(Now is the time!)
No, I will not be deceived!
(Taking what's mine!)
I wear my heart on my sleeve!
(Nothing to lose!)
I'll give you all that you need!
(Love is a bruise!)
I'll make our enemies bleed!

We'll fight until the world ends!
We won't be fated to pretend!
We won't give up – no, not again! (No, not again!)
Now all the world is here to see,
Just how much faith you put in me!
Our love is ash and memory! (Ash and memory!)

    Renegade 
Yeah,
She's a mercenary.
You can't ride with her unless you’re revolutionary,
And to get it she gon' do whatever’s necessary.
Make a victim, break the system, some results may vary.
Situations scary but she's never worried.
Picture that, even when it's bad she still get the bag.
Fightin' thru the dark to find her light so she can get it back.
Strugglin' within, do what’s right or live a life of sin.
Try and try again! Is she bound to meet a violent end?

Don't think twice,
Better be brave.
Like a soldier,
Do what I told ya.

Lived my life,
A renegade.
I gotta warn ya,
I gotta warn ya!

The only thing that you gotta know is that
I do what it takes,
Do what it takes!
Gotta bring em down to take control,
I'm gonna do what it takes,
Do what it takes!
I make you believe that the choice is yours,
But I'm changing sides now the roles reversed!
The only thing that you gotta know,
Is that I do what it takes,
I do what it takes!

I'm a renegade!
I'm a, I'm a renegade!
[x2]

I'm a bad girl,
Im'ma pull your strings. (Yeah!)
You gonna make your moves,
But I control your whole team. (Yeah!)

Nobody here is going toe to toe with me, (Yeah!)
Everything you thought you knew is what I made you think. (Uh-huh,)

I know how to get what I want,
Do what it takes to step to the top,
Gonna bait, manipulate to run the game's fate,
No stalemate, you're dead weight.

Watch me ignite grenade gone wild.
Im'ma blow up, y' can't cop my style.
Born to lead, y' can't stop my mercs.
When you hear my sound y' better hit the dirt.

Don't think twice,
Better be brave.
Like a soldier,
Do what I told ya.

Lived my life,
A renegade.
I gotta warn ya,
I gotta warn ya!

The only thing that you gotta know is that
I do what it takes,
Do what it takes!
Gotta bring em down to take control,
I'm gonna do what it takes,
Do what it takes!
I make you believe that the choice is yours,
But I'm changing sides now the roles reversed!
The only thing that you gotta know,
Is that I do what it takes,
I do what it takes!

Yeah, y'all don't really know who you playin' wit'.
Let me talk to em:

Playing both sides like she player one and two but she playing you.
Playing her, that's a fatal move. You must play to lose.
Serve herself is what she came to do. 'Til she say "adieu".
Test her then you best prepare to meet the one you prayin to.
So stay on her good side, if you wanna live in a world that she planning to change.
Even with the good guys, she still a badass no matter the side that she claim.
Gotta be ice in her veins cuz she gonna get it no matter the price or the pain.
That's just a part of the game. Playing for keeps. Are you not entertained?

The only thing that you gotta know is that
I do what it takes,
Do what it takes!
Gotta bring em down to take control,
I'm gonna do what it takes,
Do what it takes!
I make you believe that the choice is yours,
But I'm changing sides now the roles reversed!
The only thing that you gotta know,
Is that I do what it takes,
I do what it takes!

    Requiem 
Eto bylo, kogda ulybalsya
Tol'ko mertvyy, spokoystviyu rad
a to, chto sluchilos'
Pust' chernyye sukna pokroyut,
I pust' unesut fonari...
Noch'.

Uzhe bezumiye krylom,
Dushi nakrylo polovinu,
I poit ognennym vinom
I manit v chernuyu dolinu.

I ponyala ya, chto yemu
Dolzhna ya ustupit' pobedu,
Prislushivayas' k svoyemu
Uzhe kak by chuzhomu bredu.

I tol'ko pyl'nyye tsvety,
I zvon kadil'nyy, i sledy
Kuda-to v nikuda.

I pryamo mne v glaza glyadit
I skoroy gibel'yu grozit
Ogromnaya zvezda.

Pered etim gorem gnutsya gory,
Ne techet velikaya reka.

Uzhe bezumiye krylom,
Dushi nakrylo polovinu,
I poit ognennym vinom
I manit v chernuyu dolinu.

I ponyala ya, chto yemu
Dolzhna ya ustupit' pobedu,
Prislushivayas' k svoyemu
Uzhe kak by chuzhomu bredu.

    Lullaby 
Spi, spi malen'kiy
Malysh moy ty
Glazki svoi zakryvay
Slozki zabyvay
Vo sne, sne vidish' li ty
Priklyucheniya groznyye
Kak ty vyrastesh' malysh
Kto tebya zashchitit?

V nebesakh odna
Shepchet luna
Skazku tebe rasskazhet
Mozhet sud'bu pokazhet

Ne ubezhat' nikak
Dogonyayet vsegda
Nochnoye vremya
Vsekh poymayet, a seychas

Pesenku tebe ya spoyu
Bayushkiny bayu, bayu
Zemlya ona to vertitsya
Glazki zakryvayutsya
Pesenku tebe ya spoyu
Bayushkiny bayu
Glazki zakryvayutsya

Yesli v dver' kto-to stuchit
Kto by eto bylo by
Mozhet eto veterok
A mozhet i volchok

Malysh ty ne boysya
Togo kto voyet i zovot tebya
Slozki vysushi
I smelo zasni

V nebesakh odna
Shepchet luna
Skazku tebe rasskazhet
Mozhet sud'bu pokazhet

Pesenku tebe ya spoyu
Bayushkiny bayu, bayu
Zemlya ona to vertitsya
Glazki zakryvayutsya
Pesenku tebe ya spoyu
Bayushkiny bayu
Glazki zakryvayutsya

    Operation Pyrite 
I'm full of sin,
No room for you to get in.
My fists like bricks,
Break down the walls I'm stuck in.

Silver and gold!
Won't save my rotting soul!
Just break me down!
Can't bear no weight, can't bear no—

(It pulls me underground...)
I need a head, I can hold up,
I need the nickel and iron to outweigh desire,
By pulling me down, pulling me down,
Burn me to the ground! [×2]
(Burn me to the ground!)

Wait 'till it's safe,
For you to show your face.
The air so thick,
You'll have to chew and spit it out!!

I'm full of hope!
On a downward slope, trying to cope with no chance of breakin' out!
You were in the know!
Never told a soul!
You bear no weight, you bear no—

I need a head, I can hold up,
I need the nickel and iron to outweigh desire,
By pulling me down, pulling me down,
Burn me to the ground! [×2]

(Silver and gold,)
(Won't save my rotting soul.)
[×4]

Burn it down!

I need a head, I can hold up,
I need the nickel and iron to outweigh desire,
By pulling me down, pulling me down,
Burn me to the ground! [×2]
[×2]
— Lyrics to Operation Pyrite by Jason Walsh and Alan Day
    Operation Blade 
I am the one, I'm here, I've infiltrated.
Your time has come to be downgraded.
I've already won as far as I can see,
so keep your eyes on me.

I recommend you keep your distance – I'm combustible.
Keep on burning day and night – I'm unstoppable.
I'm searing hot – I am untouchable!

Yes, I'm on fire!
Ignited by a burning desire!
Can't contain this ember though you try!
Despite all this time you try to stop me, I defy!
There's no bringing me down!
I am the one, I'll be bested by none now!
When all is said and done,
The day is mine!

Oh, like frostbite permeates into your bones,
I'll be the thief that sneaks through, to topple all your thrones.
I'll keep on pushing all night through the storm – I'm insatiable.
Like a unrelenting swarm – insurmountable.
I'll outperform – I'm uncontainable!

Yes, I'm on fire!
Ignited by a burning desire!
Keep on melting holes right through the ice,
And I disintegrate these frozen walls!
I climb so high, there's no keeping me down!
I am the one, I'll be bested by none now!
When all is said and done–

Oh... As winter blows in to freeze it all to grey...
I'll be the heat that melts through to watch it fade away...

I recommend you keep your distance – I'm combustible.
Keep on burning day and night – I'm unstoppable.
I'm searing hot – I am untouchable.

(I am the one, I'm here, I've infiltrated.)
(The time has come to be downgraded.)
(I've already won as far as I can see, so keep your eyes on me!)

Yes, I'm on fire!
Ignited by a burning desire!
Can't contain this ember though you try!
Despite all this time you try to stop me, I defy!
There's no bringing me down!
I am the one, your day of reckoning's come now!
An overwhelming blaze that you can't outrun now!
I've already won, prepare to be overrun!
When all is said and done,
The day is mine!
The day is mine!

I am the one, I'll be bested by none now!
When all is said and done!
— Lyrics to Operation Blade by Obadiah Brown-Beach and Xueran Chen
    Operation Cinder 
Glory is calling your name,
Victory's for the brave,
Resilient souls who persist.

Persist... [×4]

Towards your goal,
Walk the edge,
Rewards await at the end,
Glory for those who persist.

Go the distance,
For the mission,
Eyes on the horizon, horizon.

Keep it up. [×2]
Don't give up. [×2]
Keep it up. [×2]
Never give up.

(Persist) Glory is calling your name,
(Persist) Victory's for the brave,
(Persist) Resilient souls who persist.

    Operation Lead Seal 
Talk to myself,
There's no one else.
Must be the way I do when I feel overwhelmed.
Made a wrong turn,
And I got burned.
Every decision weighing on me in my world.

So I just try to breathe,
And I will try to see,
All of the reasons we
are where we meant to be.
I know I lost the race,
Backfired in my face,
But I will find my way – eventually.

Oo-oh!
The regret in my head got me taken over!
Oo-oh!
I'm alive and surprised, and it makes me wonder,
Oo-oh!
If you say everything that you learned this life,
Makes you wise – I'm doing it, doing it right!

Made enemies.
They don't scare me.
'Cause I got everyone I need here on my team.
And we won't fight.
We're meant to thrive,
In any circumstances you throw us in tonight.
Inside of my mind, I'll be searchin',
For the words that will cure all my hurtin'.
Tough love got me feelin' deservin', rip back the curtain, that's how I learnin'.
Reflect on the mess I've created,
Respect for the deaths I hated,
Making all the winning decisions without precision – nor that I'd listen.

Oo-oh!
The regret in my head got me taken over!
Oo-oh!
I'm alive and surprised, and it makes me wonder,
Oo-oh!
If you say everything that you learned this life,
Makes you wise – I'm doing it, doing it right!

Need the best, 'cause the stress I've been holding,
I'm the one, only one – I've been chosen,
Tell the sorrow there's always tomorrow, always tomorrow, for another go.
Recognized that I'm built like a champion,
Realized that I'm here, and I'm standin',
And my story is only starting, now that I'm parting, heading for stardom.

Gonna give my all,
If I ever fall,
You better believe, I'm getting, getting back up!
[×2]

Oo-oo-oo-oh! [×2]
Oo-oh!
The regret in my head got me taken over! (Taken over!)
Oo-oh!
I'm alive and surprised, and it makes me wonder, (Makes me wonder!)
Oo-oh!
If you say everything that you learned this life,
Makes you wise – I'm doing it, doing it right! (Doing it right!)

Oh Pange, Oh Pange lingua redemptio.

    Speed of Light 
Look around you, everything's black and white
Oh, how simple is that? Don't you know that
it's about the way you look at this world
Go straight, or go left
Go back, and then go right

Without a plan you can't win
No, you gotta have a little map inside of your hand
Try to leave where you have been
Nobody was there to tell you it'll be a long way

At the speed of light
We can stand on our feet
You go after my lead
Why do you keep waiting?
At the speed of light
Don't you lie to your worries
You go after my lead
I'm already here

World is round, it makes you wonder
And might make you even wiser to realize that
It's about the way you look at this world
My right is your left, your forward is my back

Without a plan you can't win
No, you gotta have a little map inside of your hand
Try to leave where you have been
Nobody was there to tell you it'll be a long way

At the speed of light
We can stand on our feet
You go after my lead
Why do you keep waiting?
At the speed of light
Don't you lie to your worries
You go after my lead
I'm already here

Move your body, let it dance again
Like a star that shines above you
Move your body, let it dance again
Look around, everything's alright

At the speed of light
You go after my lead
[×2]

At the speed of light
We can stand on our feet
You go after my lead
Why do you keep waiting?
At the speed of light
Don't you lie to your worries
You go after my lead
I'm already here
[×2]

Move your body, let it dance again
Like a star that shines above you
Move your body, let it dance again
Look around, everything's alright

At the speed of light
You go after my lead

    Everything's Alright 
Waking up feeling alone
a lot of you have done it
but no more than I have done,
(I lost count of it)

Trying hard getting along
with guys that I don't even
know what to say
But then finally I found the one

Don't you wanna make it better
you and I
We know we won't last forever
Oh I
know you for an hour or two
but baby

Let's mix up for a day or two
(I'll be back in a second)

Give me another drink to get it over
If you're kind enough
Give me another day to get to know ya
For me you're an angel, baby
Give me another drink to get it over
he'll be gone in a second
Everything's alright with you [×2]

Going home, walking I'm alone
A lot of you have done it
But no more than I have done.
(I lost count of it)

Trying to laugh with my own
Sad and little broken heart
On the road
But then finally I found I want

Not just another little lover
he made a
Perfect world I'll sure remember
Oh I
Knew him for a long enough to
Be lonely
Guess everybody's Number 2

I need another day
I want more than what he gave to me
(I wanna be free)
But as the sun goes up and down
I'll be back in where I'm standing right now
I'll repeat this feeling
(I'll be back in a second)

Give me another drink to get it over
If you're kind enough
Give me another day to get to know ya
For me you're an angel, baby
Give me another drink to get it over
he'll be gone in a second
Everything's alright with you [×2]
[×3]

If you're kind enough
Everything's alright with you
he'll be gone in a second [×2]\\/fm

If you're kind enough
Everything's alright with you
he'll be gone in a second

If you're kind enough
he'll be gone in a second
If you're kind enough

    Alive 
You'll see,
I'm sick and tired of saying "pretty please"!
No more begging on my knees!
You're gonna see a different side in me,
When you come out of hiding!

(Alive!)
I feel so... (Alive!)
Alive! (Alive until sunset!)
[×2]

Tell me what you're waiting for,
Cause I'm here to even out the score!
It's true,
It didn't even hurt to play with my heart,
You killed our story!

It's true,
I'm not the timid girl you thought you knew!
Baby, why you look so blue?
I will not bend because you want me to!
Come out, come out! I'll show you!

(Alive!)
I feel so... (Alive!)
Alive! (Alive until sunset!)
[×2]

I've heard the way that you've been talking about me,
It's not so nice to bend my words as you please,
My armor's stronger, now you're not getting in,
The fire in my heart is burning to win,
So come on!

Tell me what you're waiting for,
Cause I'm here to even out the score!
It's true,
It didn't even hurt to play with my heart,
You killed our story!

Tell me what you're waiting for,
Cause I'm here to even out the score,
With you!
Because I finally found the strength in my heart! (Strength in my heart!)

Tell me what you're waiting for,
Cause I'm here to even out the score!
It's true,
It didn't even hurt to play with my heart,
You killed our story!

    After it All 
    Last of Me 
When the night sky is at it's darkest,
When the battle is at it's hardest,
When I'm beat down and broken hearted,
I won't give up.
No, I can't give up!

But it feels like it's over,
What if it's too late for me?
Feel my blood getting colder,
And I can't get the breath I need.
Just a burden on your shoulders,
But I don't want to be.
So I'll keep on pushing forward, oh...
You haven't seen the last of me!

Woah! [×3]
You haven't seen the last of me!
[×2]

Back to life like a strike of lighting,
Guess I've still got strength inside me.
I might be damaged, but I'm not done fighting.
I won't give up.
No, I can't give up!

But it feels like it's over,
What if it's too late for me?
Feel my blood getting colder,
And I can't get the breath I need.
Just a burden on your shoulders,
But I don't want to be.
So I'll keep on pushing forward, oh...
You haven't seen the last of me!

Woah! [×3]
You haven't seen the last of me!

    End Like This 
I made a promise I'd swore I keep,
All that I wanted was to find,
Something to live for, something to stand for,
And if I die for, what I believe?
Then this was worth it, and all the hurting is only memory...

I'm up against the edge, but I won't run away,
The sky's turning red, but I still got my faith,
I feel it in my bones...
Yeah, I think I've always known,
It would end like this!

Woah! [×3]
It would end like this!
[×4]

I won't say I'm sorry; you made your choice.
We're not that different, are we?
I hear your voice inside me,
Yeah, you remind me to keep on fighting with all my heart.
Just like you taught me, nothing could stop me from getting what I want.

I'm up against the edge, but I won't run away,
The sky's turning red but I still got my faith,
I feel it in my bones...
Yeah, I think I've always known,
It would end like this!

Woah! [×3]
It would end like this!
[×4]

In my heart, I knew it,
We'd end up here, walking through the ruins.
But there's no tears on my face.
I know it's too late to try and tempt fate.
As if I could.
I'll never hold back.
I know you know that.
You always understood.
— Lyrics to End Like This by Steve Aoki, Yellow Claw, and RUNN
    Come to Light 
Years ago, there was a time,
Days were peaceful, life was kind,
'Til sickness filled our world,
And changed the paradigm.

Soon the ill became despised,
Fear infecting every mind.
Could we shield the weak from hate?
Somehow we had to try.
Sure, our strategy was right,
Though we knew we'd pay some price,
Protecting the abused,
Seemed worth the sacrifice.

But, day by day, uncertainties arise,
The cost of triumph feels greater than the prize.
What seemed so simple,
A choice of dark or light.
It's clear now that it's not the case of black or white.

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right,
We could look for peace or try to fight,
Different paths, different names,
In the end, it was all the same,
We're saving lives.

We can wage a war and drown in pride,
But another struggle's deep inside.
There's a way through the storm,
When our hearts are reborn,
If our faith survives,
We can save more lives!

Won the battle, but our scars,
Leave us doubting who we are,
A transformation looms,
Our hearts have travelled far.
Lessons learned, we turn the page,
We carry on, we're not afraid,
Resurrection near,
Our minds prepared to change.

To search and grow's a dance with the divine,
Reawakened – A chance to redefine,
To start all over,
See through a child's eyes,
Reborn into a better form, a brand new life.

It doesn't matter who's wrong or right,
We can see it now, there's hope in sight.
Though our paths might have changed,
Our goal is still the same,
We're saving lives.

When we trust ourselves, we'll start to rise,
We can make it to the other side.
Found our way through the storm,
Now our hearts are reborn,
With our faith revived,
And we'll save more lives! [×3]
— Lyrics to Come to Light by Jeff Williams and Casey Lee Williams
    Infected 
I think we did it this time.
There's something in the air inside the star shine,
There's something in the air we'll never know,
I can feel it take hold!
(Infected)

They're calling on the landlines,
The senators are standing on the shorelines,
The warning lights are burning all aglow,
Now we reap what we sow!
(Infected)

We do it one by one,
Put your hands up and run,
We're addicted to the panic,
And we hate the way this world has become,
But there ain't no cure for it.
We've been... infected.
(Infected, infected) [×4]

Here's a challenge for all mankind.
The preacher man is warning of the end times,
The weatherman agrees but he don't know,
So he's got to go now.

We do it one by one,
Put your hands up and run,
We're addicted to the panic,
And we hate the way this world has become,
But there ain't no cure for it.
We've been... infected.
(Infected, infected) [×4]

One if by land and two if by sea.
Maybe it's both and we'll all get lucky.
Go to the end, man. Don't quit on me.
Get what you wanted:
(Anarchy)

One by one,
Put your hands up and run,
We're addicted to the panic,
And we hate the way this world has become,
But there ain't no cure for it.
We've been... infected.
(Infected, infected) [×4]
— Lyrics to Infected by Starset
    Immutable 
Bow to the wind.
Feel her vestments heal my skin.
The blind bargain's thin.
She's no stranger to rushing in.

Mission sub rosa,
Concealed en umbra.
Throwing caution to the wind.

She'll risk it for the lives.
She's left behind.
Hope's alive,
But she's flying blind.

Capricious at a moment's notice,
You ready?

Staging through time,
On her thread she'll save us nigh.
Her mind is confound,
She's no stranger to method sound.

Mission sub rosa,
Concealed en umbra.
Throwing caution to the wind.

She'll risk it for the lives.
She's left behind.
Hope's alive,
But she's flying blind.

Standing eclipse.
Feel the fire on her skin.
The blind bargain's thin.
She's no stranger to rushing in.

Mission sub rosa,
Concealed en umbra.
Throwing caution to the wind.

She'll risk it for the lives.
She's left behind.
Hope's on the rise,
But she's flying blind.
— Lyrics to Immutable by Robert Wolf and Melissa Kaplan

    Radiant 
Don't hold my hand for this part,
Full speed ahead,
I know you noticed right from the start,
Had my head held high since it began,
Cause I've laid it out for them,
Just tell me could you get up,
In the aftermath? Oh…
Would you leave it all,
Out on the table now?
Before the dust settles down?
Cause right before the sunrise,
I can see the fear in your eyes,

Cause you thought I'd disappear for good now,
You thought you left me here for dead, dead, dead, dead!
You thought that I'd be slowing down by now,
But think again think again, ah…
You thought that I was gone for good now,
Praying I'd turn around instead, hey, hey, hey,
You thought that I'd be slowing down by now,
But think again,

Full speed ahead [×4]

It's you and me,
We're going in,
We're going head to head.
I'm coming at you like a bull,
All I see is red.
A fire in my righteous eyes,
You can't hide,
Cause I'm the light illuminating every shadow, oh!
I'm coming for you,
I can see it that you're running low,
Cause I've been reading the signs,
I feed the fear in your mind

Cause you thought I'd disappear for good now,
You thought you left me here for dead, dead, dead, dead,
You thought that I'd be slowing down by now,
But think again think again, ah,
You thought that I was gone for good now,
Praying I'd turn around instead, hey, hey, hey,
You thought that I'd be slowing down by now,
But think again,

Full speed ahead [×4]

So listen up,
I've got the holy light,
At my command,
And I've got trouble here for you in my right hand,
Cause you've been left now open wide,
So justified,
I won't let the people down,
Gonna raise them high,
we're getting louder everyday,
Yeah, we're amplified,
Stunning with the light,
You gonna want to be on my side,

Ah…

It's over…
Ah…!
It's over…!

Cause I'm comin,
I'm comin for you,
Yeah you know it's full speed ahead.[×2]

Cause you thought I'd disappear for good now,
You thought you left me here for dead, dead, dead, dead,
You thought that I'd be slowing down by now,
But think again think again, ah,
You thought that I was gone for good now,
Praying I'd turn around instead, hey, hey, hey,
You thought that I'd be slowing down by now,
But think again,

Full Speed Ahead.

—Lyrics to Radiant by Mary Clare and Erik Castro

    Cannot Wait For 
I know what I want, and now I'm gonna get it.
Dream big, work hard, flaunt, you know I won't regret it.
Let myself down before; won't let that happen again.
Show me what's in store, I want to know everything.

I just can't wait anymore, pumping adrenaline!
I just can't wait anymore...!

It's been a long time coming, (WINGS OUT! FLIGHT DECK!)
So I hit the ground, running, (RIGHT NOW! GET SET!)
You can't take this one from me, (NO!)
Not when I've been waiting for so long, wo-oo-oah...
I've felt this way before; I'm not gonna fight it.
Living can be war, but I'm so excited.
Spent too many years hiding behind fear.
A new day is near.
Yeah! It's almost here!

I just can't wait anymore, pumping adrenaline!
I just can't wait anymore...!

It's been a long time coming, (WINGS OUT! FLIGHT DECK!)
So I hit the ground, running, (RIGHT NOW! GET SET!)
You can't take this one from me, (NO!)
Not when I've been waiting for so long, wo-oo-oah...

Waiting for so long... [×2]

I know the true me... (I know the true me.)
My anger fuels me... (My anger fuels me.)
I know the true me... (I know the true me.)
My anger fuels me,
Wo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oah!

Take me higher!!
I am on fire!!

SOON THEY'LL BE SCREAMING MY NAME!
DO YOU KNOW HOW I CAN TELL?!
CAUSE THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE I HAVE EVER FELT!!

It's been a long time coming, (WINGS OUT! FLIGHT DECK!)
So I hit the ground, running, (RIGHT NOW! GET SET!)
You can't take this one from me, (NO!)
Not when I've been waiting for so long, wo-oo-oah...

You know that I've been waiting for so long...!
Waiting for so long...!

I! HIT! THE! GROUND, RUNNING!
YOU! CAN'T! TAKE! THIS ONE FROM ME!
(Come on!)
I! HIT! THE! GROUND, RUNNING!
YOU! CAN'T! TAKE! THIS ONE FROM ME!
