Master of the Court (song)

**Master of the Court** is the second song of the "Four Endings Series". It serves as the leitmotif of the Master of the Court.

## Plot

Starting in Evil's Theater, the Master of the Court states that those who make it through the forest and the graveyard will be sentenced to hell in the theater's courtroom. He explains how he was saved by the "twilight gears" of the clocktower, inheriting the title and goals of his daughter. He also expresses doubt about sentencing people to hell to reach his desired "utopia", lacking a conscience and the ability to understand the morality of his actions.

Later in the song, while singing a lullaby, the Gardener asserts that the end is drawing near. The Master of the Court is unsure about believing his views over MA's, deciding to continue swinging his gavel regardless. Feeling the twins inside of him, he assures them that their time will come, lulling them to sleep with his lullaby. Once more, the doll asks his daughter if what he is doing is the right way to achieve "utopia". He beseeches her for help, adding that he doesn't have a heart or life, and thus cannnot understand.

## Lyrics

If you surpass the forest, being chased from the graveyard

You will probably make it to an old theater

In that place, you will be judged

Your sins will be revealed in this final trial

From the turning gears in the clocktower

The doll inherited his daughter's dying wish

Yes, I am the new Master of the Court

Now the gates of the Hellish Yard will be opened

Explain to me, my daughter

This is the correct choice, isn't it?

Without having a heart, I don't understand

Explain to me, my daughter

Should I send them all to hell?

Without having life, I don't understand

The gardener murmurs that soon

The end of the world draws near

Without knowing if him or MA are correct,

I continue striking this gavel

Dwelling in my inhuman body,

The miracle makes my body tremble

Dear children, your roles are yet to come,

So sleep now with this lullaby

Explain to me, my daughter

Is this my eternal fate?

Without having a heart, I don't understand

Explain to me, my daughter

Will this create our utopia?

Without having life, I don't understand

Yes, I am the new Master of the Court

Now the gates of the Hellish Yard will be opened

Explain to me, my daughter

This is the correct choice, isn't it?

Without having a heart, I don't understand

Explain to me, my daughter

Should I send them all to hell?

Without having life, I don't understand

Explain to me, my daughter

Is this my eternal fate?

Without having a heart, I don't understand

Explain to me, my daughter

Will this create our utopia?

Without having life, I don't understand

*Please explain to me, my daughter*

*Please help me, my daughter*
