about

Imagine yourself caught in a storm that just came out of nowhere. So you literally cannot live the life you used to live because it is... gone. And there come feelings and hysterical wish for the world to hear you out and do something to get you out if the situation.

Our hero finds herself looking at her schooner and basically all her life she used to have destroyed. No one and nothing is left. But somehow, probably by a cruel joke of fate she survived.

She somehow ends up on a shore and sees a dark tower ahead. Feeling like she has no other choices, she goes to that tower which turns out to be an abandoned lighthouse and does the only thing that seems right in this situation.

She turns the lighthouse on.

lyrics

The ship is going down
This time it’s not in my head
And no one left to blame
Not even me
The world is broken now
Ten of Swords stuck in my back
This is not how it was
Meant to be

M’aidez
Tell me you can hear me
All is gone now
But I survived
M’aidez
Show me where to move now
All my world’s now
Just ashes and dust

Tell me why was I saved?
Is there something I should do?
Why I’m the only one
Left alive?
I will open the door
I’ll climb a thousand stupid stairs
As soon as I’m trapped
In the house of light

Please tell me it still works...
Please tell me it still works...
Please tell me it still works...
Please... work...
