Lyrics:
Spoken in whispers
One name that still lingers
No matter the twisted ways
It can’t be simply erased
Then take me forth
And lead through the grand glory's glow
Only to show dearth
Of what I have yet to know
Do you want me to haste?
No more time to waste
Peering in, I find
Secrets you have left behind
The moon all are crying for
Will make her way
Unheard, lying pleas “No, nevermore”
Prove your faith weaves astray
Deemed it’s just a game
Hoping old times charred in flame
Leaving one last heart I then will reclaim
Feigned reign never ends,
Lie that expands and extends
Last truth bends, so vain hands
Twist until it breaks,
Twist until none sets
Is this what you chase?
Or, is it too hard to face?
If I want to, then I will be
More than past to you
And I will fight for my place
Unleashing the beast is how I will stay the course of my rise
Yet waiting for life to decide, clutching signs in your fists
You'd brush aside what comes up or what’s missed
So the silence could speak what your rhyme redefines
Imprisoned on stage, performing the purpose
To make smiles engage, to reach past the surface
I know you’re alike
Your cage intertwined
So far, worn apart by time
The moon you’ve been crying for
Has made her way
The knife, so dull, yet sharp long before,
Reaps once sown decay
Is this just a game?
Hollow eyes hold blind pain
Writhing at the sight of the blot that remained
To all who are downed,
Left buried dead underground,
Ties that bound now hold in doubt:
What costs to be proud
Of the way you turned out?
Is this what you see?
Path only painted by glee?
And, if I want to, then I will be
Asking questions through
Whether you are truly free
Split across worlds
We crossed the line
Of untold words,
I have said mine
Spoken in whispers
One name that still lingers
No matter the missing trace
It can’t be simply replaced

This is Lady Kira Xain.
(She is completely unrelated to JJ Studios' and Sack The Shadowy Goof's Xain; this is a coincidence, as I wasn't really keeping track of exes at the time of her creation, and it was quite some time ago. I only found out about JJ Studios' Xain after Nominal was cancelled and by that time I couldn't rename Lady Kira.)
She is a mortal daughter of Lord X's incarnation in the Freedom Planet universe. Seeing Avalice's hedgehogs didn't quite suit his taste, X took the form of his second favourite kind - a fox. Gray one, that is. Having artificially "retroactively continued" himself into the world of Avalice, he left when the time came, and nobody ever suspected he was not from the world.
Except for her, of course. After a thorough investigation, she found more than Lord X would have ever wanted her to know.
Now, in order to start the Eclipse, the Moon must make her way.
A mortal mind makes a timely treason.

In all honesty, I am not sure why I even made this. I was inspired by YMA's rhythm and decided to mess around with drums and Lady Xain's test motif (by the way it's lifted from "Cycles Encore Very Early WIP", and so is the Chronotrigger soundfont piano), and suddenly a few first lines came in mind that I decided to expand upon.
This is my first time writing full lyrics for a song of mine, and the lyrics are intentionally very derivative of other SM songs, especially YMA, TFR and R-H. Make of that whatever you will. Maybe even find all the references while you are at it.
Sadly, I didn't find a singer. But I am forever grateful to all who reacted, gave feedback etc. in the dms when it was just in the workings.
As for why I decided to even tie Exeverse and Freedom Planet like this, I don't know either. Just thought it would be fun or something. Usually it's just Lilac or Carol who become "exefied" (no hard feelings to anyone who does this), and I wanted to take a different approach. Why not take the title "Lord" literally and make X a part of old nobility of Shuigang?
I still feel very unsure of this. I was going to cancel the song like three times for a number of reasons. Again, thanks to everyone who motivated me to finish it.
Anyways. If anyone wants to make an instrumental and/or vocal cover, reach out to me on Discord - @babayvas
