[Narrator]
|
|
The King has ruled a reign of long
|
|
And good and fair he was to all
|
|
But alas, the sun sets on his time
|
|
Which renders him frail and small
|
|
The throne now calls the next in line
|
|
Where Torek stands, proud and strong
|
|
His destiny writ in the books of old
|
|
To rule as King in the House of Ainean
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
But pride can come to rule the ones
|
|
Whose hearts are faintly clouded
|
|
For love can blind and torture you
|
|
And in rage leave you shrouded
|
|
Destruction of a soul
|
|
Can be the aftermath of loss
|
|
Then fear the flight of Torek
|
|
For it will bring chaos!
|
|
The crown that lays upon his head
|
|
Is surely bright and shining
|
|
But won't compare to his shining love
|
|
For whom his heart is pining
|
|
A queen he needs to fill the place
|
|
Beside his throne now empty
|
|
And he's longed for his Lady Oria
|
|
For a thousand years and twenty
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
But pride can come to rule the ones
|
|
Whose hearts are faintly clouded
|
|
For love can blind and torture you
|
|
And in rage leave you shrouded
|
|
Destruction of a soul
|
|
Can be the aftermath of loss
|
|
Then fear the flight of Torek
|
|
For it will bring chaos!
|
|
Of his love he'd said to none
|
|
Whilst plans he'd had to make
|
|
And on the eve that he would profess
|
|
His plans he came to break
|
|
For Talon came, his brother dear
|
|
Shaking with delight
|
|
And with growing rage did Torek hear
|
|
His love was taken claim that night
|
|
[Talon]
|
|
My brother, I have such news to share
|
|
My longing kept hidden in strife
|
|
My heart is overjoicing
|
|
For soon I shall have a wife
|
|
To Oria Allyahan
|
|
Did I profess my love
|
|
And fall into my arms did she
|
|
And say that she did love . . .
|
|
. . . me too
|
|
[Narrator]
|
|
Fire coursing through his veins
|
|
To Oria he ran
|
|
To beg her if it all was true
|
|
To pray to understand
|
|
So hear did he her true heart said
|
|
Her love belonged to his brother
|
|
And curse did he their new found love
|
|
[Aina Choir]
|
|
For cursed she should be
|
|
If she didn't love he!
|
|
[Narrator]
|
|
And should be content with no other!
|
|
[Aina Choir]
|
|
Yes, cursed she will be
|
|
If she doesn't love he!
|
|
[Narrator]
|
|
Out he storms from Aina fair
|
|
A self-imposed exile
|
|
Far he'll go to escape the burn
|
|
Of rejection's bitter bile
|
|
Out he storms not looking back
|
|
And vows to never return
|
|
For now he hates the lovely land
|
|
And would rather see it burned
|
|
[Torek]
|
|
For how I hate that lovely land
|
|
And will someday see it burn!!
