I put the cartridge in and turn the power on
This was my home in days long gone
The screen flashes and returns to black
Black as the evil that back then attacked
The TV rings but I can’t hear the sound
I just hear the calling of the battleground
I turn the power off and back on again
I can’t wait to check on all of my old friends
I should really cut the grass
Pack a lunch for tomorrow
(I really need to-)
A logo shows on the screen
I bask in its familiar glow
There it is! My old save file!
(I should really call my mom)
(I’m overdue for an oil change)
A friend I haven’t seen in a while
(do I have any clean socks?)
(my knee feels kinda strange)
This temple so majestic, it’s just as I recall
This lighting so dramatic, it hasn’t changed at all
This temple (get to work) majestic
It’s just as I recall
The lighting (get some sleep) dramatic
It hasn’t changed at all
Somehow it seems even better
My phone buzzes, I’ll check it later
I recall things I haven’t thought about in years
The colors blur as my eyes well up with tears
Note by note the melodies come back to me
Until my phone buzzes again, what could it be?
(got a busy day tomorrow)
I snap back to reality
I’d better get some sleep

. Several of these guys I see post all the time, some are my friends, and others friends of friends. Congrats to all of you, regardless. You're all very talented musicians and I wish you success where ever you seek it. Amazing album guys. Jay Ashborne
