[Narrated by the High Priest of Vandor] Everything started with a legend A prophecy to unfold Of a prince to rise and unite us With a sword to end all wars
But looming behind him a creature Vile, disgusting and mad Has come to poison the small child's mind
The creature is envious and lacks a heart It's sad and knows not what for
Now slowly but surely the things set in motion Will lead to the end of man
Part 2 – King's Theme
Solo: Jack
[The King's Monologue] The town is getting crowded Alike in what they seek A glimpse of the newborn Who will one day be king
The story has been spreading Of what he'll grow to be A king for us to follow The king who will carry the sword of the tales The one who will prevail
All people of the nation Please listen to my words This young one is our future A saviour for the meek His good-will will make us stronger A few years and you all will see
[The People of Vandor] Rejoice he's born Our king returned to us
Part 3 – Surely Love
[A foreign wanderer] Once, in a far away land Where I grew, where I learned That a young prince will be crowned
And when he arrived, to the gates Only a child, barely ten He's taught to steal and feed his greed
Surely love can lead him Lead him home
Part 4 – Moonlight
[Narrator and The Creature] Now when the child's grown older He seeks within his soul It's as if the world rests on his shoulder But the creature tells him NO
"Your heart will show you nothing and you're nothing without me" The young man listened closely And return to darker paths
"Alone, you will never keep your throne" Will I ever keep my throne?
On a moonlit night our prince would rise to unite us and free us from darkness By a twist of fate, bring the light of day Will he cast out the evil that blinds us Will he rise and guide our way?
The crown fell from its riches Yet life remains the same Suddenly a man in white approaches From the Mountains of Avagale
[The High Priest of Vandor] "The world knows of your failure it seems your destiny fell through Now peace is not an option, and it's all because of you"
You should beware of the evil that's guiding you Twisting your mind
It's a moonlit night and our prince's demise What was said in the stories of old With the creature's aid he has lost his way And the sword is now broken beyond repair What are we to do, Lord what can we do With the sword to end all wars
Part 5 – Helpless
[The Prince] "I guess we all get lonely sometimes I just feel so lost Helpless, I'm helpless"
I need a helping hand from you
Solo: Jack
[A foreign wanderer] Lord please, Lord please Let love please guide him Grace him as the nightmare begins
Part 6 – The Nightmare
Solo: Alve / Johannes
Part 7 – End of Time
[Narrated by the High Priest of Vandor] The prince put his wrath on the creature (Your black soul alluded my goal) Its black soul alluded his goal (A strike and the creature was gone) With a strike from his sword the creature was gone
His hate all vanished, his love returned He soared in the sky, he was free Defeated and struck down, the creature withdrew Impaled by a blade of light
Part 8 – Surely Love [Revisited]
[The Foreign Wanderer] Then when he returned to his throne The creature he saw, is now known And now he's free forevermore
Surely love can lead him (Lead him home) Now surely love has led him Back to us
Part 9 – Finale
[The People of Vandor] The realm restored its honour Our faith is growing stronger By scripture only you will be made whole
The prophecy unfolded Behold the new world order The sword to end all wars lives within you
The stars align before us Finis coronat opus The lonely road you wandered, now you're home
No woe, no fear consumes you Into the unknown future The sword to end all wars lives within youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
