no one dared to
speak of the terrible danger
the hideous ancient warnings
forged in the void of night

he has risen up
out of the blackness
chaos
the last of the prophets
sinister
a sickening monstrous sight

through the stifling heat
underneath the pale green moon

i burned with a thirst
to seek things not yet seen

climbing endless stairs
leading to the choking room

eager to explore
his most shocking mysteries

drifting beyond all time
out of a churning sky
drawn to the beckoning light
of the dark eternal night

black forces
rage in the vortex,
fighting
waves of destruction
swallowing
the echo of the universe

i am the last
born of the blood of the pharaohs
the ultimate god of a rotting creation
sent to unleash this curse

restless crowds draw near
nameless hooded forms appear

amidst fallen ruins
grotesque creatures battle

shadowed on a screen
yellow evil faces leer

vacant monuments
corpses of dead worlds left behind

drifting beyond all time
out of a churning sky
drawn to the beckoning light
of the dark eternal night

trapped in a hellish dream
spinning past worlds unseen
and frightfully vanishing
into the dark eternal night

drifting beyond all time
out of a churning sky
drawn to the beckoning light
of the dark eternal night

trapped in a hellish dream
spinning past worlds unseen
and frightfully vanishing
into the dark eternal night
				

long before the colors start to bleed
i can see the painting come alive
clever like an angel in disguise 
moving in and out of reach 

if the candle lights this crooked path
like a lighthouse peering through the haze
i will find the river through the rain 
and i’ll reach the water’s edge 

shed your light on me
be my eyes when i can’t see 
shed your light on me 
be my guide so i can see
the bigger picture 

like a moth burned by the fire 
and driven to the flame 
(prophecies’ a blessing and a curse) 
i must bare this cross alone
there’s no one else to blame 
with each treasure found
another shipwreck’s washed ashore
i am carried by the current
on a slow and steady course 

[chorus] 

what if caught in a moment 
i get lost and can't find my way
what if all along i was wrong 
in every turn, in every way 

would you talk me off the ledge 
or let me take the fall 
better to try and fail 
then to never try at all 

you look but cannot see
talk but never speak
you live but cannot breathe
see but don’t believe 

wounds that never heal
a heart that cannot feel
a dream that’s all too real 
a stare as cold as steel

i’ve listened to the stories of resentment and disdain
i’ve looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame
i’ve taken blood from every stone 
and traveled every road 

when i see the distant lights illuminate the night
then i will know i am home

[EXT. Ravenskill Town Square - Day]

[Narrator:]

Far in the distant future
Beyond the pages of our time
Cold-blooded wicked tyrants
Threaten the freedom of mankind

Corruption, lust and greed
Define the new nobility
Changing the course of history

Across the vast North Empire
Most people struggle to survive
Living a meek existence
While their secluded leader thrives

[Arhys:]

We are living day to day
Forced to bare the lion's share
People just don't have the time for music anymore
And no one seems to care

My friends I've seen the chosen one
Our quest for freedom has begun
He will be the answer to our prayers

There walks a god among us
Who's seen the writing on the wall
He is the revolution
He'll be the one to save us all

My brother Gabriel is all the hope we need
Shining like a beacon in the night
Shepherd of Ravenskill
A reason to believe

Music is the gift he brings
The songbird stops to listen when he sings
				

[EXT. Ravenskill - Day]

[Gabriel:]

Like your father once said
Life is not what you're given
It is how you decide to live
On the path you have chosen

So together we'll build a new world
A better world
We'll build a new world
Our new world

[Faythe:]

I know you're scared and alone
But we will face this together
Through the innocence in your eyes
They will live on forever

In their memory we'll build a new world
A better world
We'll build a new world
Our new world

[Gabriel, Faythe and X]

We'll build a new world
A better world
We'll build a new world
Our new world

Together we'll build a new world
A wondrous world
We'll build a new world
A bold new world
				

Two dozens letters that all spell you
Portraits of Tracy to hold on to
Hold me through, hold me through
Sand castles, melodies, dancing fools
Tracy, Tracy
My sweet Tracy!
The morning shadows that still draw you
Each fork I chose led away from you
Why?
				

don't
tell me what's in
tell me how to write
don't tell me how to win
this fight

isn't your life
it isn't your right
to take the only thing that's
mine

proven over time
it's over your head
don't try to read between the
lines
are clearly defined
never lose sight of
something you believe in

takin' in the view from
the outside
feeling like the underdog
watching through the
window i'm on the outside
living like an underdog

i've been trying
to justify you
in the end
i will just dely you

to those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am

i've been wasting my breath
on you
open minds will descend
uopn you

to those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am

not under your command
i know where i stand
i won't change to fit your plans
take me as i am

to those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am

not under your command
i know where i stand
i won't change to fit your plans
take me as i am
				

with the sun in place
there's a test of faith
streams of thought awaken

new realities
singularities
breaking all illusions

sudden bust of heat
burning source of life
masterful destruction

power's not an act
it's understanding truth
changing my direction

live in the moment
breathe in a new beginning
wisdom revealed
as i unlearn to learn

life's biggest battles
often are fought alone
my spirit brings me home

emerald thoughts flow through my consciousness
drawn to curses left behind
test of will the threshold to one's faith
starts a fire in the mind

searching out
reaching in
to arrive
where i began
sights remembered
in the light

searching out
reaching in
to arrive
where i began
sights remembered
come alive

embrace the days
don't turn away
life's true intent needs patience
karma starts the signal
