Song Lyrics:
The floorboards creak and groan,
As titan's steps fall from above.
The mouse's heart quakes in fear,
Yet still, he must rise for labor of love.

He grasps his prize in tiny paws,
A glint of gold, so bright and rare.
With trembling limbs, he scurries forth,
Into the darkness, unaware.

Beneath the boards, in shadows deep,
The mouse did scurry, secrets keep.

Through dank and foul, through filth and mire,
To homeward bound, with heart afire.

Yet lo! What fate doth now befall?
The path ahead, a deadfall brawl.

In tunnels tight, where darkness reigns,
The Starving lurk with hunger’s chains.

Their teeth do gnash, their eyes do gleam,
A mouse’s life—a fleeting dream.
