Mind parts marked in [square brackets]

Was waiting for adventure underneath clear blue skies
My own SBURBan prelude
The beginning of my rise out of these meta choices I made
No more ignorance is bliss because I understand everything
There's nothing in the session that I miss
It was my metamorphic choices, yeah?

That book and that ink
Before my finality, the dawn of the end had me strugglin' to think
A book is my entry item?
What do I do? Where does it go?
A tear later, and a spirited conversation had me in the know
We had to build above, layers upon layers and more
Kept strifin' my enemies looking for higher grist score
Started receiving mysterious messages asking "YOU THERE, BOY. CEASE."
But toppling overly ostentatious ogres was the only way to bring peace

By now the porkhollow was overflowing, I'm bringing in the boombucks
Except that this album can't be purchased so only figuratively
It SUCKS! (Not really)
Was getting real consort air now, fraymotif samba off the chart
So perhaps I should try waking the beast?
There were whispers 'round these parts of a soft glow in the distance
Perhaps it could be the Denizen?

Too late for that now, it seems
I'm off snoozin' again
A lulling lutescent sends me surely off to sleep
On golden dreams I walk
Amongst smiling faces I keep
But this grudge in A Minor claim in the back of my head
"Wouldn't a lavender lullaby suit me instead?"

That strange planet in shadow with Drolls and Dignitaries
It was the Ultimate Riddle to me
Did I truly belong amongst these?
Would not those eldritch murmurs soothe my ears to hear?
[Plus this?] outer reaches that all others fear
Others preferred the inner depths and autogenesis by slime
While my path lead me to witness the broken dreams of time

So begins the paradoxical meteor shower towards Skaia
Beginning the quest already begun before we built higher and higher
Have we spawned the Emerald Icarus? cumuloSeerus tells us so
It was a checkerboard checkmate
Our glances Skaiaward mean we now know
Was there to be a resurrection? Someone already died so soon
It was while I was on Land of Space and Frogs past Skaia's moon
Searching high and low for frog shaped like Rana's Abode
But yet we had the will to fight further
This wasn't gonna be a barren session [???]

With us giving not to dilemma [??? we couldn't stop, but stoke the forge light]
That vulcanic volcano erupted and I left to search out my own plight
I check the chequered castle and he's already waiting for us there
Now all of us begin our endgame execution against the Black King in his chair
And when I think to where ribbit all began, I have higher hopes for us to win
We shall be welcomed as Gods of the new world when our new universe begins

So here's the untold story barring melody and form and composition
We take flight against all odds and have a successful session
Perhaps in other timelines we were born to die but take heed
Through the will to fight we find that we are in prime position to succeed!

(Ah yeah, [???]. Thanks everyone for listening.)

Artist and wiki commentary for Build Gate (Swag Gate):

Veritas Unae ✑ SoundCloud description

This is one of the many DLC tracks related to Sburb OST. Jamie made a kicking version of the build theme for one of the gates but Marcy thought that I should rap over it instead. This song's lyrics includes all of the names of the main tracks bar Godfight, which was completed after the lyrics were written.
