Outlaw & Marionette

**Outlaw & Marionette** is a song affiliated with, but not a part of, both the "Four Endings Series" and the "Torture Tower Series". It is sung by the irregular Karaum, focusing on his mindset following the creation of the Fourth Period and his travelling to an alternate world.

## Plot

Queen Prim Marlon plans to lead the souls of the Third Period residents to a new world. Although Karaum is not included in this, he knows he is not alone as long as "they" are by his side. Since the "Outlaws" and their "god" can't die, he shall lead them down a "different path". Entering a gateway, the unreachable marionette and incomplete Atonement disappear.

Karaum states his belief that gathering up every mistake can sometimes lead to a unique solution; however, the four of them had traveled different paths, and none had ultimately been correct. Knowing that he had destroyed the world they had created, he admits that they were always outcasts from everyone else. He then remembers the judgment that was handed down and the lingering August heat, stating that the season doesn't seem to suit them, though the memories of such have now faded into the cold of winter.

Since the Outlaws and "that doll" can't sleep, Karaum decides to lead them to a new world. With his followers lined up, the irregular prepares to leave; though the world refuses this, he knows that they will be able to pass through once they are put in a coffin. He then comments on how this must be the "utopia" that someone dreamed of.

## Lyrics

The queen of the dead born from mud

Will guide the souls to their new world

Though I am separate from their way of thinking

I am not alone, as long as you are by my side

Those outcasts and their god

Aren't even permitted to die

In that case, I shall lead them

To another "world of evil"

A Lychgate that was opened

A Marionette that was unreachable

An Atonement that was incomplete

They all shot off and vanished

This must be the utopia

That someone dreamed of

There are surely times when gathering up all the mistakes

Can lead to a completely unique solution

The four of us traveled down different courses

And in the end, none of us had been correct

I have destroyed everything

Of the world you built

We have always been this way

Both of us are mutual outcasts

A judgment that was handed down

The lingering heat of August

I have never felt that

This season really suited you

These August memories have now

Disappeared into the cold of winter

Those outcasts and that doll

Aren't even permitted to sleep

And so, I shall lead them to

A world of evil that shrieks in lament

A Lychgate that was opened

A Marionette that was unreachable

An Atonement that was incomplete

They all shot off and vanished

The outcasts all lined up

The world shot back a "No"

We shall take you along

Once I put you in the coffin

This must be the utopia

That someone dreamed of
