1.	Empty Space 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Don't teleport Just admire from afar That station’s nothing, nowhere It's so bizarre You can see your destination But if you cross the threshold You don't go to where you went There space is uncontrolled Far back as I can remember This place has stood right here But structures moved at will Entire zones disappeared Once the mind was made up We all settled in just fine To await the hero who In our very bones is divined She would quest to our base We keep the words she needs Weeks bleed, then months, then years By just how long do we precede? The song still stands unsang The gifts remain unclaimed Our fate unfinished We are diminished Are we anything? Far back as I can remember Our sister planet was there Gold and fuchsia We often stop to stare Her station beckons But we admire from afar For she lives in our skybox Nothing waits beyond the stars The hero will not come Our words are artifacts An abandoned project We’ve run out of track The song still stands unsang The gifts remain unclaimed Our fate unfinished We are diminished Are we anything?
2.	Grant No Quarter 03:57	lyrics	buy track
Echoing through the past again Fading as time draws further in Emptiness now where I had been As my timeline contends with its end I dreamed I was turned into a ghost A memory turned loose from its host My family sleeps six feet below Because I failed to overthrow The dreadful hex laid upon my soul Turned out to be only a small part of the whole Echoing through the past again Fading as time draws further in Emptiness now where I had been As my timeline contends with its end I dreamed I was turned into a ghost A memory turned loose from its host I found allies in the witch and the Belmont Even the dissenting son from my former haunt But the four of us are often called three I am evicted from my own history Echoing through the past again Fading as time draws further in Emptiness now where I had been As my timeline contends with its end Purged from history Do not discard Danasty Echoing through the past again Fading as time draws further in Emptiness now where I had been As my timeline contends with its end
3.	Or Be Killed 03:26	lyrics	buy track
The first time through I made a few mistakes Caused some heartache, left dust in my wake But I did it all over again (I am awful) Collected every friend (I am awfully kind) I took every thrashing (I never strayed) No lashing out, no dashing (I never strayed from my lie) I never strayed from my lie All had turned out better than before But I wasn’t done, I knew there was more So their happy endings themselves had to end I couldn’t wait for the real challenge to begin I disregarded her words, and then her life She said I’ll be fine out there, and she was right The Undying, she persists She will end this, she insists But this one’s wrong, and I move on Only the final corridor stands before a new dawn So it is here that judgment stands His first attack, I’ll be damned, it lands I try again, I find my end Who’d have thought he’d be the one to ascend? For every life I took along the way He strikes me down, a debt repaid He broke a promise to someone But he broke me too He has won
4.	Dragaux MG 03:33	lyrics	buy track
You don’t get bulk like this by simply moving hills Only one thing outsizes these pecs, and it’s this will Planning my next workout while I am working out Meanwhile that twiggy ring is content to lurk about Though I’m from The Land of Night My muscles, they shine so bright I must maximize my might Ready for the fight Push! Come on! Push! You can do it! Push! One more! Push! Even The Four Masters themselves, they knew their place They would have to stack up one-by-one, to get in my face Planning my next workout while I am working out Meanwhile that twiggy ring is content to lurk about Though I’m from The Land of Night My muscles, they shine so bright I must maximize my might Ready for the fight Push! Come on now! Push! Don't give up! Push! One more! Push! Call it The Dark Influence, call it what you will I’m here for the gains and for the thrills Though I’m from The Land of Night My muscles, they shine so bright I must maximize my might Ready for the fight
5.	Kremling Karnival 03:06	lyrics	buy track
The perilous swamps, the prickly thorns The frankly angry zinger swarms Oh such dangers there are outside Sanctuary you will not be denied So come one, and come all! Krazy Kremland calls! The fireworks show is astounding Dizzying colors, confounding The Ferris wheel reaches heights unreal Just hold on tight to the cold steel Hop right into a skull cart Now’s when the real fun starts Just mind the gaps in the tracks You’ll probably make it back Play the arcade, grab a snack and a drink Destroy your friends on Killer Instinct It’s not Creepy Crocland, or Loony Goonland Just read the sign, don’t be a baboon, man So come one, and come all! Krazy Kremland calls! Out of tickets, out of lives Play here, stay here till you die Do not challenge Great King Zing Lest you face his deadly sting Out of tickets, out of lives Hop right into a skull cart Now’s when the real fun starts Just mind the gaps in the tracks You’ll probably make it back Out of tickets, out of lives
6.	Time Forgot 05:18	lyrics	buy track
Here time doesn't pass It lingers, gaining mass From the Lost Underworld You glimpse its weight Then as phases distort You face your fate Here time doesn't pass It lingers, gaining mass

about

Songs Unsung Round 3 returns to the roots of second-era Unicorn Hole! Eight years ago Songs Unsung unveiled a new, more nintendocore-focused style for Uhole, complete with realistic VSTs and retro synths. Round 2 continued the themes the following year, with another batch of tracks telling the tales of unlikely video game characters. Now the trilogy is finally complete, just as the HD Remakes trilogy was concluded in 2021! Download includes alternate album art, just as HDR3 did!
