Payoff on the thread about the protagonist's dead.

In That Dark Door

This song ties up the arc for Black and Red, Hey Sweetie, and The Call of MAMITUM (Lyrics by me, music by Suno.com - Full Playlist)

[intro]
Who's out there standing in that dark door?
Oh, please, Oh, please.
I've been dreaming of this moment, every day that you've been gone.
Oh, please, Oh, please, Oh, please.
Oh my, darlings, what can I tell you?
Oh, please.

[verse]
The goddess warned me.
She said the dead don't speak. 
Their food is dust, their bread made out of clay.
They only listen there, in that land of no return.
Will you listen?
I have so much to say! 

[chorus]
Are you there standing in that dark door?
Oh, please, oh, please.
I've been dreaming of this moment, every day that you've been gone.
Oh, please, Oh, please, Oh, please.
Oh my, darlings, are you listening?
Oh, please.

[interlude]

[bridge]
Hey Papa, you left us for months out at sea. Not a day went by that I didn't wish you'd come home. Then a man came to our door with his hat in his hands and I knew my wish was never coming true.

[bridge]
Big brother, you were the voice at my side, my best friend, and we talked about everything. Then you left me for the war and I've been stuck here all alone, all my fears trapped inside my head. 

[verse]
You were my shield, my foundation 
and I looked up to your faces
just to know what was good and right.
But you left me, you hurt me
You didn't mean it, but I felt it
And I've longed for one more chance
to say I love you, I miss you 
I haven't been the same without you 
What do I say now that you're both really here? 

[chorus]
You're out there standing in that dark door.
Oh, please! Oh, please!
I've been begging for this moment, since the day you died.
Oh, please, Oh, please, Oh, please.
Oh my, darlings, what should I tell you?
Oh, please. 

[break]

[outro][sad]
You're right here standing in this dark door.
Oh, please, oh, please.
I can finally have this moment.
One more chance to say goodbye.
Oh, please. Oh, please. Oh, please.
