Next Question - The First Headmaster Song (Shadow Milk Cookie)
About this track
[Verse 1] Ask me a question, ask it right Any old hour, day or night Bring me the why that won't let go One missing answer is all I know Call it forbidden—what's that for? Sometimes the warning is just a door Face what you fear; that's answer one Choose it swiftly; judge when it's done [Pre-Chorus] Rush for the answer, tempest grows Stay with the question; see where it goes Brilliance can turn like a dangerous key Bring me the question, hand it to me [Chorus] Next question—say it straight Next question—don't make it wait Ask it once, then ask once more Maybe forbidden is just a door Fear comes first—then choose your way Judge it fairly; don't turn away No answer yet? Then start again Keep asking questions—where, why, when [Verse 2] Ask for the reason, I give no reply One old question keeps asking me why Research still waiting, more to pursue Some distant future may find what is true A question cuts sharper than any blade Judge it with care when the choice must be made The answer is absent—that's where we begin Epiphany comes like a new life within [Pre-Chorus] Rush for the answer, tempest grows Stay with the question; see where it goes Brilliance can turn like a dangerous key Bring me the question, hand it to me [Chorus] Next question—say it straight Next question—don't make it wait Ask it once, then ask once more Maybe forbidden is just a door Fear comes first—then choose your way Judge it fairly; don't turn away No answer yet? Then start again Keep asking questions—where, why, when [Bridge] Break the rule—or learn what is true Ask till the reason comes clearer to you Turn the next chapter; ask one question more Never stop asking what answers are for [Final Chorus] Next question—say it straight Next question—don't make it wait Ask it once, then ask once more Maybe forbidden is just a door Fear comes first—then choose your way Judge it fairly; don't turn away No answer yet? Then start again Keep asking questions—where, why, when [Outro] One old reason still stays away Maybe the future will answer one day More to pursue, still something to do The absence of answers begins something new
