From what vantage is your story told?
Where do you slumber while kingdoms grow old?
Are you revered? Are you feared?
Violet or gold

I am the agent of golden white
Children of mine vow to fight the good fight
Watching us die for a hopeless cause
They take up our banner with nary a pause

I am the agent of indigo black
Children of mine learn to watch their backs
Surrounded by villains on ev'ry side
We are the fall that comes with black king's pride

From what vantage is your story told?
Where do you slumber while kingdoms grow old?
Are you revered? Are you feared?

Violet or gold

Do you hear whispers of monstrous love from farthest rings?
Do you see visions in clouds above?
We are the agents of Prospit and Derse
We sing the truth wrapped in riddles and verse
If you have listened to our little song
Maybe you know where you belong

Violet and gold
Violet and gold
From your vantage are all stories told (From what vantage is your story told?)
You will slumber while kingdoms grow old (Where do you slumber while kingdoms grow old?)

You will see visions in clouds above
You will hear whispers of monstrous love
Children revered
Children feared

It was the dawn of man
I held a mouse in my hand
I've seen so many just deaths
Wond'ring what he'd planned

I've been this road before
My mouse is done clicking back
I've read both candy and meat
And swore I'd never look back

It's been a long long time (Violet and gold)
But things have just begun (Violet and gold)
It's been a long ten years (Violet and gold)
Will Homestuck ever be done?

It was the dawn of fans
It was the dawn of me and you
It's friendships forged and fanworks scored
And fanfics born anew
Hah!

(You got that telecaster twang...)
(You're twanging in my soul...)

You've got a reason to live, got a reason to live
No matter what you say, no matter what you take away
There's always something you can give

In your dreams you're the star
It's you who makes that catch

You've changed, you've grown up
Your wounds have sewn up

The ship you're on is yours alone

My heart lies with the sea
My heart lies with the ocean

It's been a long long time,
But I've changed for good

(It's been a long long time...)
