Cast a Spell - Green Edition (feat. Rahul Kohli, Allegra Clark, Laura Bailey & Janina Gavankar)

from Stray Gods by Austin Wintory, Tripod & Montaigne

lyrics

I’ll set up a vibe and you go for it!

I’m not great at words, I’m…I’m more of a dancer.

Just speak from the heart —be honest.
You can do it!

You’ve cast a spell on me
Not literally, obviously
But I feel, in summary
You and me
Are meant to be

Cause you put a hex on me
You didn’t do it to me, directly
I’m—I’m not blaming you specifically
Just that metaphorically
Shit... Can someone help me?

It’s okay
Okay, what are some of the things you love about her?

Hecate, with you
There’s so much to love
Oh, I’m not saying you’re fat

You did not just say that!

Shit…time to move on.

Tell her something she doesn’t know about herself.

Mhmm.

Oh Katie, to me
You know you... enrapture? (Ooh, good word!)
Is it your pallid skin?
Your lips are so thin
Your love of...books?

Asterion
I have but one thought
Why is it that you seem so distraught?
Are you saying you’re in love with me?
You couldn’t possibly
Really?

Oh, you're doin’ great! Give it another go.

You’ve cast a spell on me
It’s a feeling that’s killing me
But let’s say, categorically
Oh Katie
It's just you and me

Katie, yeah, that’s what I’ve always called you
It sounds juvenile but that name makes me smile
I’ve always wanted to tell you
Anyways, as friends
I’m only a fraction
Of what I can be
I mean I’ll still make you tea
But don’t you want more than tea?

Is this what you truly wish to do?
This love could easily fall through
Imagine if we ceased to be
It’s a possibility
Don’t you see?

Oh god, he’s looking pretty bad.

Hecate, it could be this spell on me
Has blinded my eyes from what you can see
If there’s even the smallest possibility
Of losing you somehow
I take it back now
I’m finished, could someone please rescue me?

Freddie! You gotta step in!

Me?

Yeah, you’re just as qualified as I am!

Hecate
I’d say he’s really put himself out there
Now, he cannot undo
It’s a brave thing to do
Wish I had his daring

Wha…I’m saying that I’ve missed out before
Last chances rushed out that exit door
I could never let my heart be heard
And it’s withering
Now I’m reconsidering

I have always counted on you
To speak to me honestly
You’re at my beck and call
I’ve never thanked you at all
And yet you still love me?

I let travelers know which way to go
But it bothers me
My own path I forgo
Always seemed apropos
Yet where has this led me?

Maybe one step across the line
Will weave its own spell in given time

The thought with which I must contend is
Can I love my best friend?

Yes!

Just decide!

Asterion?

Kate?

It seems
You’ve cast a spell on me

You will not regret this!
Not yet. It is written.

You’ve cast a spell on me (To think, I shall have my own story)
You’ve cast a spell on me (And we shall write it together)
You’ve cast a spell on me (A tale of romance and glory!)
You’ve cast a spell on me (But do we have enough leather?)
You’ve cast a spell on me
