Started out weak, new to the game
Making my mark, seeking my fame
But suddenly, a cutscene hits
I brace myself, something's amiss
A puppet I'm made, stealing my voice
Making decisions, not through choice
From hero to zero, in the blink of an eye
Cutscene captive, can't help but sigh
Locked in place, an unskippable scene
All I can do, is stare at my screen
Items and treasures, my bags I fill
Taken away, by guards I could kill
Imprisoned unjustly, by story's cruel hand
Left with a lockpick, in this scripted land
Hours of grinding, for what, I ask
To be rendered helpless, a pointless task
From hero to zero, in the blink of an eye
Cutscene captive, can't help but sigh
Stripped of my will, a powerless pawn
A hero in chains, as the game moves on
Battles I've won, monsters I've slain
Victory's close, but here comes the pain
Cutscene traps me, villain escapes
My strength means nothing, the plot reshapes
Could've fought back, could've stood tall
But I'm frozen here, can't do anything at all
From hero to zero, in the blink of an eye
Cutscene captive, can't help but sigh
No matter my strength, no matter my might
The game takes control, and I lose the fight
Acceptance sinks in, that's how it goes
Cutscenes control, the actions I chose
Moments of power, they disappear
Bound by the story, now my fate's clear
Powerless moments, but I've made my peace
The cutscene takes me, decisions all cease
