On an island far away
In a place you’re forced to stay
When others whom you do not know
Have no other place to go
Don’t give up and do not fret
Though harder things are coming yet.
As all seems well and good and right
Darkness flees, there’s only light
And no one dares to think of fears
Although you’re lost, you shed no tears
Be wise, remember, don’t forget
That harder tasks are coming yet.
If things begin to fall apart
And no one follows him who's smart
They’d rather hunt or play and run
Till two are left, that’s you plus one
Keep your peace ‘cause you can bet
The hardest isn’t over yet.
When fear begins invading minds
And distractions are of many kinds
If darkness lies where once stood light
And beastly beasts possess the night
Know you’re safe though the sun has set
Your hardest task has not come yet
Other’s hopes will soon decline
Their thoughts will fall all out of line
Be the last still taking heart
Protect the light left from the start
Your words’ meaning they will not get
But say them now, your task comes yet
When no one but you understands
And one group forms two separate bands
You are the one to go and prove
The “beast” is dead and cannot move
A morbid face you have just met
But still your task gets harder yet
Once you find what no one knows
Don’t hurry back as darkness grows
They cannot see, they are afraid
A deadly beast might come invade
For this mistake you’ll pay the debt
Take it slow, there’s no rush yet
Your task is done but so are you
It’s all for naught, no one else knew
You did not live to tell the tale
Of the corpse and parachute sail
And so to add to your regret
The hard parts are not over yet.
