Let me tell you a tale
about my best friend
And if I don't fail
it won't happen again
to your friend
Well, to your friend's mom

Woke to dead queen's ringing bell that morning
A thousand years to celebrate ahead
Looking back, I wish I'd had some warning
of the impending cosmic mess that leaves me dead
then alive

But now I'm playin' games of chance with a girl I just met
And a spark of romance keeps it going
Till we run into my friend, and she does it again
Messes up, girl is gone, I jump in, something's wrong

And now we're flyin' around with a princess and a frog
and a robot, and a caveman, and some guy with a cape tried to kill us
Sorry, cavewoman
But that's a story you already knew
My warning lies in what I'm getting to
The gory accident your friend went through
And then she grew, not forgetting, regretting every day the circumstances
Hooray for second chances

L, A, R, A
Just one way to save Lara
That once-distant day
that she buried far away
will be revisited today
Don't mess up
or else her mommy can't walk

After all the time gates we'd been seeing
gathered 'round the fire, we theorize
Maybe time is the memory of some being
One that's reminiscing right before it dies
We close our eyes

But later in the night she wakes for a reason unknown
And the path that she takes is the right one
It seems a part of the plan to try to fix what it can
Opens up, crimson light, she steps out of the night

And now she's back in her home, but in the decade before
And she knows what's gonna happen, and she hopes that this time she can stop it
Maybe you can stop it
Again, she'll witness tragedy begin
frozen by terror in her mini-twin
at the relentless, grinding gears within
And as they spin, I am cryin' and tryin' every button combination
Or rather, every permutation
Or maybe sequence
Yeah
Every button sequence

L, A, R, A
Just one way to save Lara
That once-distant day
that she buried far away
will be revisited today, so
hurry up
or else her mommy can't walk

Not to give too much away, but you gotta press
L, A, R, A
Don't delay, you'll save Lara
Somewhere it should say
the password to save the day
but I didn't notice it, then it was too late, so
hurry up

I've given the goods
It's all up to you
When she wakes in the woods
now you'll know what to do
to save Lucca
Well, to save her mom
