Employee 427 finds himself somehow alone
An office full of work and yet poor stanley's on his own
The left door leads to freedom and a story, oh, quite grand
And yet you’ve taken this decision out of my own hands
So veering right you find a type of room that's meant for breaks
And skipping through, cutting me off, you walk the other way
No, not forwards, left, no, not yet
You walk through open doors
And now you find yourself above the concrete warehouse floor
I've half a mind to let you jump off of that platform there
Allow you to go hurdling so swiftly through the air
Ignoring my instructions is a dangerous game
And yet you wish to play it, so let’s go on anyway
A phone rings, you pick up, your wife's on the line
You've wasted your life, stanley, oh, how divine
Well that's what you get for ignoring your wife
Perhaps you'll just listen to me next time
Let's dance around these hallowed halls
In ticking time, the clock'll call
The countdown drags as it consumes us all
Isn't it wonderful you can’t respond?
You’re doomed to listen on and on
So hear me out or face the ending fall
Because there's no escape
There’s no escape at all
Employee 427
Hang on, wait, I wasn't done
You're cutting off my dialogue just as I sing this song
Let's use this here adventure line to get us back on track
Oh, dear, the thing has climbed the walls, there’s no obvious path
Perhaps this time we'll venture out, you'll tell me what I missed
What makes this game so boring that you'd just jump off a cliff!
Oh, come on, stanley, can't you try and hear me out at all?
Instead of pressing eight on that dumb keypad till you fall?
Oh, finally you've made it down this elevator here
Now just straight on and, stanley, look, I'll tell you crystal clear
Go forwards, not left, you've got it? Great
Oh, come on!, would you rather die than face your pre-planned fate?
You veer left and who'd guess, you're met with demise
Crushed into small pieces, leaving me to die
Perhaps you're regretting your actions, that's fine
Now don't you worry, stanley, we'll try again next time
Let's dance around these hallowed halls
In ticking time, the clock'll call
The countdown drags, as it consumes us all
Isn't it wonderful you can't respond?
You're doomed to listen on and on
So hear me out or I'm sure you will fall
Because there's no escape
There's no escape at all!
Throw yourself of a ledge a dozen times
Drive yourself mad to my design
You're running out of tactics left to try
Obey and listen to my words
Then backtrack at the final turn
But in that move, you've secured your demise
There's no winning, losing, drawing back
No defence, offence, no attack
No asset that you somehow lack
No veering off this track
Oh, come on, stanley
Can't you see this path will run eternally?
And in the end, we'll rot away the same
So buckle up and take your seat
Avoid me, join me, just believe
That this is so much more than just a game
Let's dance around these hallowed halls
In ticking time, the clock'll call
The countdown drags as it consumes us all
Isn't it wonderful you can't respond?
You're doomed to listen on and on
So hear me out or I will make you fall
So figure out these endless paths
These endings end in epitaphs
Or freedom coated deep in arsenic
The days trickle on oh so fast
The end has now become the start
Perhaps it all was one gigantic trick
But really you can't deny it at all
There's no escape, there's no escape at all!
Now being honest with you, stanley
I don't think this is going to improve the game at all
To hell with it all
Let's just restart, shall we?
