If you had the courage to stop me from turning
Into what would be the worst in everybody's eyes
Hey, I'm no angel, or the devil of your conscience
To tell you who to be
Good, bad, ugly or otherwise
If you had good common sense
Your choices would be gleaming, flawless
I want no part in this self-deprecating
Worthless chemistry
We made our beds to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade
Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
Oh, you think they have it all
While you were left with nothing
Oh oh, you've taken the fall for them to walk all over
You made your bed, so soft and comforting
These dream await the grey good morning
We made our beds to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade
Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
Oh, we've got you by the throat, ha ha ha
All you want to be
Welcome all to the everlasting all-time low
Please put your hands together
For the ever failing, one man show, Domino
Ladies and broken gentlemen
The undisputed champ of misery
Oh, and in this corner we find his challenger
The pride of utopia, the greatest thing ever
If you could recall one moment of your past
That defined you to be, that made you the man
We've come to love, all of the above
This disaster binds us absolute
A thousand lies you tell yourself
That no one ever loved you right
Ooh, but I would do anything for you
The question fits the question mark
Your signals crossed your message lost, ha ha
Well, this has been an extraordinary change of events
As two great champions at the fight to the finish
Find themselves in their last and final round
The fight now being deemed around the world as the upset of the century
Let's get back to the brawl and in the fray
The fighters meet in the center of the ring
The challenger swings to the right
Quick with a left hook across Domino's jaw
Followed by a crushing strike to the body
Oh, he might have took another left
His hook sends Domino into the ropes
The challenger lands a devastating combo
Followed by a driving hook that sends Domino to the floor
The crowd's on their feet, the ref's called the fight
He's out, he's out
This war won't hold forever
Your time has come, it's now or never
We made our beds to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade
Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
One by one
We are together, we fall together
One by one
We are together, we fall together
Now my brother, don't be afraid
We are together, we are together
Brother
We are together, we fall together
Into what would be the worst in everybody's eyes
Hey, I'm no angel, or the devil of your conscience
To tell you who to be
Good, bad, ugly or otherwise
If you had good common sense
Your choices would be gleaming, flawless
I want no part in this self-deprecating
Worthless chemistry
We made our beds to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade
Turn about-face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
Oh, you think they have it all
While you were left with nothing
Oh oh, you've taken the fall for them to walk all over
You made your bed, so soft and comforting
These dream await the grey good morning
We made our beds to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes

Don't walk away, don't walk away from me

We are together, we are together
Brother
We are together, we fall together

Sirius is amazed at what he finds in the Keywork as he steps from his shuttle: a moving, waving mass of shifting shapes and colors. The beauty of it is staggering, and the realization that he is the first person in the entire system to make this trek into such unknown territory fills him with pride. His joy is short lived, however, as he begins see humanoid shapes -- vague at first, then gaining definition -- writhing within the energy cloud. One, in particular, has the strength to overpower the others, charging towards Sirius and jumping into his body, possessing him and forcing him to relive the mysterious entity's tragic end.
Domino was, in life, an up-and-coming star in the boxing world, but he was not truly happy. Though his professional life was great, his personal life was not -- and these feelings were augmented as he watched his brother, Chess, live a happy life with his beautiful wife. He needed something to fill the void, and in that quest he found Kriptor Noncruss, a local crime boss, who told Domino he would go on to accomplish great things.
Kriptor's influence proved fatal; Domino began taking drugs to enhance his fighting abilities, and as he got addicted, he became more and more willing to do Kriptor's bidding. After losing against the reigning champion, Domino lost it all. He was homeless, broke, and desperate, opening him up to participate Kriptor's biggest scheme yet: an armored car heist that would pay Domino a small fortune. Realizing that his brother could also use the money, he convinced Chess to come along and help, but when the robbery went wrong, Chess was shot by the police as an injured Domino looked on. This was his breaking point; seeing no other option, he turned his gun on himself and ended his life in a moment of complete and utter devastation, leaving him to languish for eternity as a lost soul in the Keywork.
As the gun is fired, a huge blast knocks Sirius free of Domino's control and rocks his ship, damaging it severely. Debris shoots in all directions and it seems that Sirius Amory's journey has been cut tragically short.
