Death Note (Musical) - The Game Begins

Empty your mind of any theories
'Til all the facts are in
Start at the end of all your queries
To learn where things begin

You analyze by learning backwards
Effects reveal their cause
For even perfect crimes have perfect flaws

The calculus of a solution,
While changing, stays the same
The stronger mind and evolution
Determine who wins the game

I poke and prod to find a weakness
Where the bend becomes the break
And make the most of Kira's first mistake

The game begins the same way
I look for patterns on a screen
Connecting bits of data
Until I find out what they mean
The game begins

A kilobyte of information
And soon a corner's turned
Anticipate his adaptation
By using all you've learned

Some little thing, some minor detail
Will draw you in, and then
Another one will draw you out again

The game begins the same way
I look for patterns on a screen
Connecting bits of data
Until I find out what they mean

The game begins the same way
The chase is on, the die is cast
I sift a thousand pixels
Until I chase you down at last...

The game begins!
