Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Our guest tonight is Alan Wake. This time we wanted to do something a little
different. A deep dive into who he is, as an artist and as a man, where he comes from, where he draws his inspiration, what
demons he wrestles with in the dark hours of the night. Together with our house
band, the divine Old Gods of Asgard, we have created something very special for you.
The song is called “Herald of Darkness”, but I like to call this next segment,
“The Story of the Journey of Alan Wake, the Musical”. We just do what we always do, we’ll
chat, but instead of talking, we’ll sing it. 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 bearing, the
eye of the darkness, your light 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 here is a clue of hope to remember Visions they come true
obeying the light switch too 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 And all your stories of
crime and chilling thrillers of hardboiled killers became bestsellers
(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 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 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 He could write a new story
like Tom Zane before him And maybe they’d be happy once again
Just one shot, one more chance for him to save their marriage
Away from the city, a romantic getaway Still he’s the torch bearer
and it couldn’t be much clearer A war needs its warrior, true and right
But the darkness within him held her hostage Had he seen her drowning, would have
save her from the darkness of the lake 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 Such a Dark Place? Am I trapped in here
Is this real? I cannot remember There was a manuscript it held a key
A vicious cycle I must not surrender to Echo scenes to seek out
Again and again Until I figure it out
To bring this song to its end 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
