Herald of Darkness

[Mr. Door]
From what I've gathered
You grew up nice and sheltered
With Mama's pretty stories
And your own made-up furies
[Alan Wake]
And Mama gave me a magic clicker
Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say
[Odin]
C'mon in and listen
Lost words you've been missing
Of the fire you're bearing
The eye of the darkness, your light
[Mr. Door]
So you were drawn to stories early on?
[Alan Wake]
My dreams would light up my imagination
[Mr. Door]
And you had nightmares night and day?
[Alan Wake]
Yeah, but with the clicker
I chased those frights away
[Mr. Door]
Who knew?
[Alan Wake]
So true...
[Odin]
So here is a clue
Of hope to remember
Visions, they come true
Obeying the light switch too
[Chorus -- Odin]
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh!
[Instrumental break]
[Mr. Door]
And all your stories
Of crime and chilling thrillers
Of hardboiled killers
Became best-sellers
(And the award goes to... Alan Wake!)
[Alan Wake]
It was all too much
I had to get away
[Odin]
The story's the end all
A piece of true fiction
Made meaningless in the
Face of creation
[Mr. Door]
But there is more to it than meets the eye
[Alan Wake]
I never meant for it to ruin my life that way
[Mr. Door]
Would you say you lived a jaded lie?
[Alan Wake]
Dark shades could never save the day
[Mr. Door]
So sad...
[Alan Wake]
But true!
[Odin]
Fighting the nightmares
Torch and a light switch
A gift or a curse?
A reality made of dreams
[Chorus -- Odin]
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh!
[Instrumental break]
[Odin]
He could write a new story
Like Tom Zane before him
And maybe they'd be happy
Once again
Just one shot, one more chance
For him to save their marriage
Away from the city
A romantic getaway
[Instrumental break]
[Odin]
Still, he's the torch-bearer
And it couldn't be much clearer
A war needs its warrior, true and right
But the darkness within him
Held her hostage
Had he seen her drowning
Would have saved her from the darkness of the lake
[Chorus -- Odin]
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhhh!
[Instrumental break]
[Alan Wake]
Such a Dark Place
Am I trapped in here?
Is this real?
I cannot remember
There was a manuscript
It held a key
A vicious cycle
I must not surrender to
Echo scenes to seek out
Again and again
Until I figure it out
To bring this song to its end
[Chorus -- Full Cast]
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface
Ohhh!
