A character theme for my video game idea, that according to the Google Docs file I started writing in February 2013. I tried transcribing it back then, and much more recently as well. My older sibling, who goes by the name B, helped with transcribing and writing the instrumental part to a song I only had a rough idea of how such a thing should go with that. They do have a Newgrounds account somewhere, but it was so long ago they can't find it. We recorded this while they were over visiting from a city about 680 km from where I live now. Anyway, my voice over their ukulele playing. The character from which the song's point of view is written is obviously a bat, and the song goes over a lot of what the game I plan to make is about. We had a bit of trouble syncing up towards the end. I could use a metronome to help. We had rewritten one line to be "Wants to conquer my home" instead of "Wants to make me a drone" but I sang the older version here.

Lyrics:

Can you hear my call

echo off the wall

its how I steer my flight

The beast that flies by night

Wings of skin and bone

A quest for magic stone

Foe with metal dome

Wants to make me a drone

Can you hear me, see me, sense me

from the island of the dense tree

My Free-e-dom

For Free-e-dom

Hear Me!

Can you hear my squeak

guide me as I speak

Though it is unlit

I can fly through it

My ears pierce the dark

So I’ll find the mark

When it’s light I see

If not, use my ability

Can you hear me, see me, sense me

from the island of the dense tree

My Free-e-dom

For Free-e-dom

Hear Me!

Can you hear my clicks

break the string and bricks

From the cave that leaks

To the mountain’s peaks

Then I raid the ship

It’s not an easy trip

Started in the woods

bog, then town neighborhood.

Can you hear me, see me, sense me

from the island of the dense tree

My Free-e-dom

For Free-e-dom

Hear Me!

Can you hear my voice

like you have a choice

The village arcade

that hides leaves of jade

Leaves in ancient text

I said what happened next

you know ‘bout the cave

I’ve got a world to save

Can you hear me, see me, sense me

from the island of the dense tree

My Free-e-dom

For Free-e-dom

Hear Me!

Can you hear my call...
