lyrics

Reveal your courage
In such a cowardly place
This strength is unparalleled
But I am held by your grace
There is no reason to be afraid

I will open the door
And take a part of this treasure
To hold a place in history
For heroes to be remembered

They say that time heals everything
But I have watched it tear this place apart

I will not be held back for much longer
In seven years I will find you

Hatred is all that He’s left in this place
A temple once so sacred
He chose to desecrate

Your voice beckons me to see
What has been blinding me

You will not be alone; I am stronger
I never got to say goodbye
As you left through that gate
We were told that we were too young
But that our stories were bound by fate

What makes my life worth living
Is something worth fighting for
As fate would have it
A hero is born

I will not be deterred by this presence
A king of thieves
He holds no throne
In a world of legends

I stand triumphant
Upon this pedestal
For now I have
Just what it takes
To seal away this evil
