LYRICS
Hold the die, your turn to roll
Before they fall through your fingers
Not a good night to lose control
Right as the earth is unraveling

You play with your blocks until they break
And these walls come tumbling down
Oh, they’re tumbling down

You’re out time, make your move
Live or die while the fuse is lit and there’s no turning back

Kiss your perfect day goodbye
Because the world is on fire
Tuck your innocence goodnight
You sold your friends like guns for hire
Go play with your blocks
And now you’ll pay when these walls come tumbling down
Oh, they’re tumbling down

Resting on a knife, you heavy souls
With all this weight buckling down on you now
Don’t you drown, and float away
Not a good time to lose control
Right as your marionettes cut their strings and run away

You’re out time, make your move
Live or die while the fuse is lit and there’s no turning back

Kiss your perfect day goodbye
Because the world is on fire
Tuck your innocence goodnight
You sold your friends like guns for hire
Go play with your blocks
And now you’ll pay when these walls come tumbling down
Oh, they’re tumbling down

Jinx holding the flare will forever be ingrained in my mind

[Xaalderan]

This scene gives me chills specially when the camera spins around Jinx and you see Claggor's and Mylo's bodys against her, it was chilling and amazing

[GetOverHer]

This is the perfect example of the difference a good director makes.
If you think about it, not much happens in this scene. It could just be a normal scene, Jinx lights up the flare, Vi and Cait are running away while Silco is raging.
But they turned it into one of the most magical scenes I've ever seen.
Arcane is a masterpiece

[Liam-fduh]

I can't imagine how satisfying it would be to work on a project for years, only to have it release to this level of acclaim and praise. Props to everyone who worked on Arcane, you knocked it out of the park.

[kauaichan]

Jinx, Mylo and Clogger.... It's like Clogger just has this blank stare because he died instantly, where is Mylo is wailing in pain, having seen/felt it all unfold. Shot me thru the heart Riot, well played 😭😭😭

[DalinarKholin]

This scene. It's just impossible to make it better.

[meandhomelandersgiganticballs_]

Silco throwing his blinded rage to his people, Vi and Caitlyn fleeing, Jinx holding the flare and the scene with Mylo and Claggor behind her. It was just such a perfect build up of emotions and ending up with Vi and Jinx meeting. I have watched alot of anime before and this one has to take the cake for everything, the storytelling, the animations, the VAs, and just the pure emotions and portraying of each character is so perfect.

[adammuffinz]

I'm so happy they got so many talented musicians for this series, takes it to the next level.

[GoldenInquisitor]

I have followed Woodkid for years and never heard him singing that high. Is like he was standing there with Jinx, the emotion he puts on the notes is so incredible it made me even doubt who was singing.

[averagehuman]

A whole month has passed, and I still can't get over how amazing this show was. I wish I could go back and watch it all over again. It had me on edge every week!!!

[mattisberenthal]

I have never heard Woodkid sing like that

[AltouSK]

This scene alone where this song plays, it deserves every award there is. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. Riot Games - thank you for this experience.

[neonnwolff]

Right when she lights that flare, the look in her eyes and the song, hits me right in the feels.. such a deep impact of emotion. It’s perfect in every way.

[victoriawang]

It's so heartbreaking as it is her last cry for help with the last drop of trust in someone to find the little girl crying inside her. And sadly we all know where it went to eventually and inevitably ... It's no one's fault but it happened with all the past that haunts everyone in their own storyline.

[GingerNinja]

There are two things this series gave me, emotional damage and a hunger for season two, this song just brings it back

[NoruNeki]

"There's no turning back" as Piltover closes it borders and prepares to fight zaun, setting up for Act 3

Amazing scene

[kane]

I understand that series based on video games are underrated, but Arcane really deserves an award, it touches on both social and emotional issues that I have never felt before in a long time. I don't know what the emmy awards are based on but I hope they make at least one mention of this work of art.

[pyros.]

I was so scared that Vi wouldn't go after her and Powder would be let down again.

[justyouraveragelimeenjoyer]

I went into Arcane wanting to waste some time and check out a new TV show.

I left with the tragic, heartwrenching story of sisters fighting against a corrupt world where no one is truly evil nor good.

[danello]

The fact that they took WOODKID for this shows they *really* looked for a outstanding score
