[Bear McCreary, Danai Gurira - Yellow Eyes lyrics]
That choice was made for you
Leaving you to reap the rewards, yes
But also to pay the cost
I saw the hurt that caused
When the bill came due
I had to see it
I was forced to watch every time
Forced to watch
As everything you were granted
Everything you found, or earned, or built
Was stripped from you
One way or another
I am sorry
I overstepped
The near endless procession of loss
That formed your existеnce
Even punctuated as it was
By bursts of cruеlty and indignity
I know you found happiness in it on occasion
Only you can know in its totality
Your existence was meaningful
Only you had the right to decide it was worth the cost
But you get to decide now
In fact, you must
Because everything that comes next or doesn't
Will be shaped by you
