Horizon Zero Dawn (A Fathers Promise)

Dancing on the beat

Hey Aloy
I remember when you were a little girl
Hurled in this fickle world
Riddled with the brittle churl
Of individuals treating you like a criminal
Invisible
A literal outcast
A miracle to me...

It was critical you completed the ritual
To bring your name from the spiritual to the physical
It was typical
That the whole village would attend the naming ceremony
Then again they would not amend
Or bend any rules
We're condemned and cannot ascend
But we had each other
You and I to the bitter end!

Mother and a father figure
Proper giver
Never wither
Guard you to my last breath
Quivers
And my body rigors

You were so curious
Honestly made me furious
But I loved your adventurous side
That made you spurious
It led you to fight
For the truth of your reality
You'd train valiantly
And get the answers for your family

A father's work is never done
It's never won
Only keeps going
Keeps growing
Keep showing that I'll never run

A daughter
Never find a better one
And when it gets tough
Just remember how it all begun

A father's work is never done
It's never won
Only keeps going
Keeps growing
Keep showing that I'll never run

A daughter
Never find a better one
And when it gets tough
Just remember how it all begun

I remember very clearly when you came to me
With blatancy
Wearing that focus so brazenly
I chalked it up to a child's toy
Hastily
Until you proved me wrong and saved another life
Thankfully

A day I won't forget
It's when I knew you could do anything
You put your mind to
What you wouldn't do's the scary thing
I knew at that point I had to teach you how to fend for life
Teach you to survive in this world of forever strife

Harness your will
Harvest the kill
Hardest to build
The skillset to target a kill
Large as a hill
Harshest and shrill
The training kept marching still
'til your heart caught up with your body
Made the hardest will

You were ready
The proving ground upon us
I had kept my promise as a father
Taken you from novice cannon fodder
To a girl of honor
Goddess of the strings
Now take what you've learned from me
Go to better things
