about

This track plays for each of four possible endings to the awesome dating sim Beholder High. You play as a beholder, the classic Dungeons and Dragons monster that basically looks like a giant demonic head with multiple eye stalks and a huge central eye. In addition to being a grotesque, nightmarish creature, you must navigate the perils of high school while trying to find a date to the prom. But who's going to date a beholder?!? Find out by playing the game at http://beholderhigh.com!

Beholder High Team:
Programming: Phil Hoyt, Justin Demetroff, Matthew Barnes
Art: Heather Lynn
Music: Ian Faleer

lyrics

(Spoken)
"My Darling,
I remember when I first looked into
As many of your eyes as I could."

Oh Beholder, Beholder
The stars could not have foretold her
Her eyes, how they smolder
Without her my heart would be colder

When I met her, I was nervous
But her smile made me bolder
Though she doesn't find me physically attractive
My great personality sold her

I swear on the demons below
That we will never part
Cause I know…you won…
The initiative roll for my heart!

Oh Beholder, Beholder
I'll love you young or older
Even if our relationship
Was platonic like Scully and Mulder

When we dance, I wish I could lean on you
But you're only a head with no shoulder
If she was a little origami crane
I would treasure and never unfold her

And if she broke my heart
I wouldn't have the courage to scold her
She may be a hideous D&D monster
But beauty is found in the eye of the Beholder
