Chara looked around. All they could see was the corruption of mankind. Homeless people shunned and starving, cars honking, people yelling, trash littering the ground.
Any dolt with half a brain Can see that humankind has gone insane To the point where I don’t know If I’ll upset the status quo If I throw poison in the water main
All humans were evil in their hearts, why didn’t anyone see that?
Listen close to everybody’s heartAnd hear that breaking sound
So they found themselves falling, falling, falling.
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
Why didn’t the monsters see that humans were terrible? They almost killed their new father who they loved so much. Chara brought down their brother with them (sweet, sweet, Asriel) when he refused to kill the evil, awful humans.
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
But it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise
Next time Chara woke up, they found themselves not with Asriel, but rather with another human (disgusting). But this human was not like how they believed humanity was.
Frisk woke up in golden flowers. They thought they would die, but then Toriel saved them.
Look aroundWe’re living with the lost and foundJust when you feel you’ve almost drownedYou find yourself on solid ground
The Ruins were safe, and they knew that monsters weren’t really bad, even if they died over and over. With just a simple compliment, they could SPARE monsters and turn them from foes into friends.
.And you believe
There’s good in everybody’s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope, you can do your part
To turn a life around
Snowdin proves them right. Everyone is so happy, living in peace and harmony. There is hope in the world!
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise
‘Cause it seems to me
Some kind of harmony
Is on the rise
Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, and all the monsters, beams of light, hope, and enthusiasm to Frisk! The hope they felt, through Waterfall, Hotland, the CORE, and New Home, all building up!
Take it slow He looks at me and seems to knowThe things that I’m afraid to showAnd suddenly I feel this glow
Chara didn’t understand why the human was so happy to go to their own death. “I’ll free everyone”, blah blah blah. Chara laughed when Flowey killed the human over and over and over. DIdn’t they see?
Anyone with half a brain
Could spend their whole life howling in pain
‘Cause the dark is everywhere
The human doesn’t seem to care
That soon the dark in me is all that will remain
They fought with Asriel, they felt the anguish inside. They loved him, and they reached out to save him and their friends, every monster! Even Chara.
And I believe
There’s good in everybody’s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope, you can do your part
To turn a life around
Asriel. Not even Asriel could save Chara. Even he’d realized how corrupt the world really was.
Listen close to everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
Frisk stood before the sunset, with their friends. They’d made it! They’d freed the Underground.
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s finally growing wise
And it’s plain to see
Rapture inside of me is on the rise
So the Underground was free. Ha! It was so funny? Did the human really think that humans would accept monsters? No.
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
But it’s plain to see
Evil inside of me is on the rise
