[Part 1: Childhood]

[Verse 1: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson]
From what I've gathered, you grew up nice and sheltered
With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies
And mama gave me a magic clicker
Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say
C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing
Of the fire you're bearin', the eye of the darkness, your light

[Verse 2: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson]
So you were drawn to stories early on?
My dreams would light up my imagination
And you had nightmares night and day?
Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away
Who knew? So true
So hеre is a clue of hope to rеmember
Visions, they come true, obeying the light switch too

[Chorus: Odin Anderson]
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface, oh

[Part 2: Rise to Fame]
[Verse 1: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson]
And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers
Of hardboiled killers became best-sellers
(And the award goes to... Alan Wake!)
It was all too much, I had to get away
The story's the end-all, a piece of true fiction
Made meaningless in the face of creation

[Verse 2: Mr. Door, Alan Wake, Odin Anderson]
But there is more to it than meets the eye
I never meant for it to ruin my life that way
Would you say you lived a jaded lie?
Dark shades could never save the day
So sad, but true
Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch
A gift or a curse? A reality made of dreams

[Guitar Solo: Bob Balder]

[Chorus: Odin Anderson, Mr. Door, Alan Wake]
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface, oh
