It is dark, and it is cold, and he remembers but shaky things, stuttering...

[JDodger]

Well, I hold the handle, my enemies,
And you've got the blay-ade...

Well, I hold the handle, my enemies,
And you've got the blay-ade...

Don't try to fight, young man,
You will lose the fi-ight...

Say don't try to fight, old man,
You will lose the fi-ight...

Super Bard walks the streets of the Citadel, and the rumors pour forth...

[JDodger]

The hustlers and the jivers are scalping fake tickets and promises of same...

The painted-face harlots and the rose-cheeked country lasses are powdering up...

Before a great oaken desk in an office behind a bell behind a cord behind a curtain behind a well-known bar in the entertainment district, a hulking shadow paces, old fears renewed...

Super Bard walks the winding streets of Castle Ubent...

Super Bard, confirmed dead now a year and more...

Returns... and walks the streets of the Citadel, flesh and blood...

And he sings....

I wanted to be a stage-singin' staaa-a-a-ar

And you were just a country waitress... in a baa-a-a-ar

And I knew if we had money, we could go... faar, a-aar

So I set out in search for that fortune and... fa-a-ame

Now I'm out here doin my best

But each night

as I lay me down to rest

Oh woman, I stii-ill

got lovin' you-ou

On myyy... mind

The music playa on, and the curtain rises, and the crowd in the People's Forum of the Free City of Ibladesh, many years in the future, stand and applaud as one...

Well I lay down, lay down, and try to... take it all in...

I lay down, I lay, I lay down and try to take it all in (Take it all in)

A quarter-million people, and I didn't have a... single friend.

It is still cold and it is still dark, but Tetraxian begins to remember...

Man 1: My God, so they are killers.
.            I've heard lots of people say,
.            "Once a man's a killer,
.            "He'll just keep on killing and killing.
.            "They sort of develop a taste for blood."

​​​​Man 2: Yeah, that's right.
.             Kill one man,
.             Or kill ten,
.             It's all the same.
.             After all,
.             They can only hang you once...

Dusk has barely begun to fall, and already the deep and winding paths and passages of the Citadel are bathed in darkest shadow.

Among the shadows an even darker one slips, a broad figure clad in threadbare sable, and from wall and window more shadows watch, these clad in red hoods, watching a dead man walk the streets of Ubent.

And he sings:

It a ring
And all we hear is it a ring
It a ring
And all we hear is it a ring...

[JDodger]

Red Hood 1: Get him now,
.                      Before the militia comes.
