The Path That Divides[Narrator:]The evening stars shine brightly Over Heaven's Cove As night descends in silence The fated scene unfolds Consumed with trepidation Arhys hears his brother's voice [Gabriel's Voice:] As you're facing the path that divides I will always be here by your side [Arhys:] I feel my pulse begin to race Beads of sweat drip down my face I have made a grave mistake What have I done? My blood for my son? It's not too late! I won't betray him! [Daryus:] I knew the day had come And you could be tempted To give up the Chosen One And finally end this Do anything for your son A terminal weakness But now you're as good as done [Arhys:] I didn't have a choice And I was defenseless I didn't believe his voice And fighting was senseless But now I can see the truth I've come to my senses I shouldn't have trusted you [Narrator:] Arhys was never aware His son had followed him there Confused and deathly afraid X watched his hero be brave [Arhys:] On the path that divides You were there by my side There will be no betrayal tonight! I found courage and strength In the words you once sang Tore the truth from the lies On the path that divides [Daryus:] You dare defy your prince? Well, you just threw your life away Along with Xander's dreams You chose the wrong man to betray! [Narrator:] Two hungry warriors Clash in the shadows of the night But there's a cost with every fight And Arhys' fight for hope Cost him his very life |
