ANCIENT BARDS LYRICS

1. Origine

[Storyteller]
...Now it is time for you to know about its genesis.

Once upon a time, long before Lastworld existed, there was a heavenly place inhabited by the Aeons, divine entities, eternal yet mortal.

At the center of their universe was the White Crystal, the substance and power that constituted all creation, the host of the ever flowing flux of life, the nourishment of all things.

The Aeons had consecrated their existence to meditation, in the pursuit of absolute Wisdom, a profound form of awareness that would allow them to discover the meaning of their existence and the purpose for which the White Stars had created them.

Handed down from generation to generation was their exhausting practice of devotion to pure contemplation, in an attempt to approach the vibration of the crystal and become one with it.

This was the Chite Crystal World.

(Every creature here is connected
Through the crystal life flows)

Every creature here is connected
Through the crystal all is flowing,
Through the crystal all is moving
Through the crystal all is growing.

Every creature here is connected
Through the crystal all is flowing,
Through the crystal all is moving
Through the crystal all is growing.

All creation breathes in harmony (harmony)

2. Impious Dystopia

[Storyteller]
The end crawls on the last two souls,
in a barren world,
all that's left is destruction.

Prospect slit by a dreadful split.
When the fates are done, the two sides of the whole will finally cross swords.

He is the champion of unwanted souls
the defender of cowardly deviance
everything that he wants, he takes it by force,
he takes it no matter the cost.

She is the brightest pure being of all,
the descendant of mythical candor,
in her conscience she keeps, the true key to be in touch with the heart of the world.

[Man]
You can't win this, just step aside
I'm tired of your spineless demeanor
Get on my side, into the dark
avoid your impending demise!

[Woman]
I'm not enticed by your words of demise,
you won't lure me into joining your venture.
Every blow from the dark, I'll fight back with light,
by wielding this Black Crystal Sword!

[Storyteller]
The ascent
of primeval forces in the night
ignites the ancestral fight

[Woman]
In the rise
of primeval forces in the night
our past and future collide

Impious dystopia
a sentence of doom
moving away from the truth
Wisdom is lost

[Man]
Knowledge is out there for me,
I will take it as I please.

[Storyteller]
The ascent
of primeval forces in the night
ignites the ancestral fight

[Woman]
In the rise
of primeval forces in the night
our past and future collide

Impious dystopia
a sentence of doom
moving away from the truth
Wisdom is lost

Impious delirium you chose the wrong path
it breaks my heart,
I can't let you fulfill your plan

3. Fantasy's Wings

[Storyteller]
At sunrise the village
Is already wide awake
Behold!
Everything is ready for the feast
Perfumed wreaths of flowers
Hung on every balcony

Look up!
The streets are decked with colorful festoons
The square will look beautiful
Dressed in sparkling lights
At dusk, when the music begins

In this celebration in honor of the Supreme
The folks build parade floats glorifying his name
The lord's young and beautiful children
Lork and Eirene rejoice and hop around
The pageant holding hands
They taste all the candy they get from every stand
Then dash through the gardens and fields

[Kids]
Swear won't peek when we play hide and seek,
Just count to ten and come find me!
I am the guard and you are the thief,
You'll never enter my castle!
I wanna run, I will race you for fun,
Who makes it first to the rainbow?
Brotherly love, high on fantasy's wings,
I'm happy when we we're together!

Swear won't peek
When we play hide and seek (Please don't cheat)
Just count to ten and come find me!
(Olly olly oxen free)
I am the guard and you are the thief,
You'll never enter my castle! (I won't let you)
I wanna run,
I will race you for fun (Come chase me)
Who makes it first to the rainbow?
(I bet you can't beat me dear)
Brotherly love, high on fantasy's wings,
I'm happy when we we're together!

I wanna run, I will race you for fun,
Who makes it first to the rainbows?
Brotherly love, high on fantasy's wings,
I'm happy when we're together!

4. Aureum Legacy

[The Supreme]
My beloved precious children
I have gathered you today
For a change is coming to pass and it's gonna be OK

I've been searching for the answer
I lost faith along the way
But I always had the Aureum to remind me not to sway

I prepared you for the road ahead
And I taught you how to seek the truth
Let the crystal lead your every move
I've been doing it so long, now it's your turn

I received it from my father in its bow of opaline
I see how your spirit shine bright
Now the Aureum's yours Eirene

My dear son please don't be angry
Win your battle from within
In your heart there's light and darkness
And you're standing in between

I prepared you for the road ahead
And I taught you how to seek the truth
Let the crystal lead your every move
I've been doing it so long, now it's your turn

Now, my flesh and blood,
I consign the world to your hands
This is the White Stars's design, this is our duty divine
This sacred mission is the meaning of our lives

[Storyteller]
La viltà domina, la vanità semina
L'oscurità germina, la sacertà punirà

L'empietà domina, la vanità semina
L'oscurità germina, la notte vincerà

[The Supreme]
Now, my flesh and blood,
I consign the world to your hands
This is the White Stars's design
This is our duty divine
This sacred mission is the meaning of our lives

Now, my flesh and blood,
I consign the world to your hands
This is the White Stars's design
This is our duty divine
This sacred mission is the meaning of our lives

5. Light

[Eirene]
Have you felt a void numbing your soul,
And lit a candle just to watch it burn?
The flame dances but outside of this stage,
Shadows creep.

Every day I fight to stay in the light
I endure the darkness
'Cause it shows me the stars
And I vow to keep on spreading the light
'Til the day I die.

When I find myself in doubt,
I look within and watch my virtues
Tame their own reverse,
They're in balance but it's up to me
To tip the scale.

Every day I fight to stay in the light
I endure the darkness
'Cause it shows me the stars
And I vow to keep on spreading the light
'Til the day I die.
Every day I fight to stay in the light
I endure the darkness
'Cause it shows me the stars
Like a mirror I'm reflecting the light
To the world around.

Being the hero is a choice,
I believe it with all that I am
A spotless heart's not a gift,
But a conquest that's worth striving for

(Candid heart bathed in light
Spotless heart choosing light
Faithful heart praising light
Lavish heart spreading light
Candid heart bathed in light
Spotless heart choosing light
Spreading light)

Every day I fight to stay in the light
I endure the darkness 'cause it shows me the stars
And I vow to keep on spreading the light
'Til the day I die.
Every day I fight to stay in the light
I endure the darkness 'cause it shows me the stars
Like a mirror I'm reflecting the light
To the world around.

Every day I find my path
And I fight to stay in the light

6. Oscurità

[Lork]
A life devoted to my praise of the supreme
That token in her hands was my prize to redeem
And whatever test I blew, now his trust in me is through
To him I'm just number 2
I don't know what I did wrong.

I don't understand what's going on,
Where is this doubt rising from?
What is this division father claims to see?
I did what I had to do, I did follow every rule.
I don't understand what he thinks
Is corrupting me

There's not a hint of dark in me,
No hint of dark in me, no hint of dark,
No darkness in me
I will never let him cut me out
This charade is not on me
Someone needs to talk some sense in this head!
I'm sure it's the crystal's fault,
I know something there is wrong.
I will never let that rock dictate my life again

There's not a hing of dark in me,
No hint of dark in me, no hint of dark,
No darkness in me

[Storyteller]
Oscurità
One little drop
The infection spreads on his tainted heart
It spreads on his now tainted heart
Finding no sign of resistance, the dark takes control

[Lork]
I have no demons to tame!

No! I can't stand he chose Eirene
I'm a victim of

[Storyteller]
Oscurità
One little drop
The infection spreads on his tainted heart
Oscurità
One little drop
The infection spreads on his tainted heart
It spreads on his now tainted heart
Finding no sign of resistance, the dark takes control

[Lork]
I have no demons to tame!

7. Titanism

[Lork]
Though my pride's unbowed,
My affliction's loud
And my thoughts belong to chaos
There's no end in sight
To my growing spite
And the cause of my trouble is you.

[The Supreme]
What's that fiery look in your eyes?
Your demons are finally taking over.
With these words of hate that you mouth
You sound like the Chief of the Rejects.
Wisdom can't be snatched with the sword,
You have to achieve it with dedication
My dear son please don't be deceived,
Wake up from your stubborn denial

[Lork]
Aberration, instigation
Domination, castigation
Condemnation, aggravation
Aspiration, abjuration
Is this what you call depravity?

You're so sure of what you've been told,
You follow their teachings
Without contention.
How did that work out for you dad?
Did you ever hear from the crystal?
I bet I can prove you all wrong
And shatter your faith in a million pieces
I will find the truth on my own
And show you who's the real hero

Aberration, instigation
Domination, castigation
Condemnation, aggravation
Aspiration, abjuration
Is this what you call depravity?

Though my pride's unbowed,
My affliction's loud
And my thoughts belong to chaos
There's no end in sight
To my growing spite
And the cause of my trouble is you.
I remember now
How you told me how
I have always been your diamond
Am I courtly now?
Am I special now?
Am I your little promising boy?

[Voices]
We are reason, listen yo us
Your compassion is misplaced now
Swing your knife and end his dull life
His guard is down, it's the right time

[Lork]
I hear captivating voices
I'm delighted by their presence
I believe them, they are right, soon
I will be the leader

Meet my blade dad
You can see how it feels like to
Be stabbed through the heart!

Though my pride's unbowed,
My affliction's loud
And my thoughts belong to chaos
There's no end in sight
To my growing spite
And the cause of my trouble is you.
I remember now how you told me how
I have always been your diamond
Am I courtly now?
Am I special now?
Am I your little promising boy?

Though my pride's unbowed,
My affliction's loud
And my thoughts belong to chaos
There's no end in sight
To my growing spite
And the cause of my trouble is you.

8. The Hollow

[Storyteller:]
When all the haze dissipates

[Lork:]
This body is empty,
Where is my father?
God, what have I done?
He is no more.

[Voices:]
Run away! run away!
Murderer, run away!
Run away! run away!
Murderer, run away!

[Storyteller:]
Blood threads weaved in the dark
Warp is doom, weft is loss
The die is cast there's no turning back now

[Lork:]
Can't you see this body is empty?
He's not here, where is my father?
Someone help me, what have I done?
It's my fault now he is no more!

Can't you see this body is empty?
He's not here, where is my father?
Someone help me, what have I done?
It's my fault now he is no more!

[Voices:]
Run away!
Run away!

9. Home Of The Rejects

[Chief of the Rejects]
My brother gather 'round
Let's welcome our new guest!
It's been a draining run,
You better get some rest.
Our wait was worth the while.
The chosen one is here
He joined us in exile,
Now payback time is near.

[Rejects]
Ego fero densum malum
(The Thick Evil of the First Night)
Primae noctis atri leti
Quod is densum malum habet
Bow down to the chosen one!

[Chief of the Rejects]
Here, Lork, the malum's yours
You are the leader now
Soon wisdom will be ours,
We'll take it, we know how
We're feeling loud and strong
A thirst we cannot quench,
Before we move along
We want to get revenge.

[Rejects]
Ego fero densum malum
(The Thick Evil of the First Night)
Primae noctis atri leti
Quod is densum malum habet
Bow down to the chosen one!

[Chief of the Rejects]
Leave your hopes redemption,
Lead us in the ascension!
We'll do as you ask, we are your people now.

[Rejects]
Ego fero densum malum
(The Thick Evil of the First Night)
Primae noctis atri leti
Quod is densum malum habet
Bow down to the chosen one!

[Chief of the Rejects]
Leave your hopes redemption,
Lead us in the ascension!
We'll do as you ask, we are your people now.

Leave your hopes redemption,
Lead us in the ascension!
We'll do as you ask, we are your people now.

10. The Great Divide

[Part 1 - Farewell Father]

[Storyteller]
Soon after the break of day
Eirene prepares for a ride,
But when she walks through the yard
She strips on a horror that tears her apart

Her lifeless father is there,
Laying in a pool of blood,
The blade still lodged in his chest
There's not doubt this crime
Was committed by Lork

[Eirene]
Farewell Father
Light of my light
Goodbye Brother
I lost you too

May the ground be light to you
I will do my best to keep your legacy alive
Sit tibi terra levis
Farewell Father!

[Storyteller]
Now her composure is gone,
She feels so crushed and alone
She doesn't know what to do
So she calls out to her grandfather for help

The old man stares at his son
Silently sinking in pain,
Eirene can't subdue her grief
She falls on her knees and the desperately cries

[Eirene]
Farewell Father
Light of my light
Goodbye Brother
I lost you too

May the ground be light to you
I will do my best to keep your legacy alive
Sit tibi terra levis
Farewell Father!

Desolation
Grows and break the banks

[Part 2 - Teardrop]

[Storyteller]
One tearddrop springs from her eye,
Then runs down her cheek,
It lingers on her lip,
Then drips from her chin

It falls on a crystal rock
And as if by magic the rock lights up.
The crystal shines bright.

True enlightenment, pure sapience,
Only come from self-knowledge,
From embracing your weakness
Understanding every motion.

[Part 3 - Il Grande E Forte Impero]

[Lork]
I, abandoned by the light in this exile
I am the fallen one
I, I am the sacrifice

Awakened by my brothers,
With reprisal we'll be back
The Rejects are now forever
Sickened by the light

[Rejects]
Ego fero densum malum
Primae noctis atri leti
Quod is densum malum habet
Venga il grande e forte impero!

Long night and terror we bring
The great and strong empire will come!
With our king at the lead,
No mercy to plead,
He won't hold back when his destiny calls
All hail the new king!

[Lork]
Yes, we'll crush the Aeons standing against us
With the fire and the flame
We, we'll make Eirene repent

We are darkness,
We are nothingness, pure eternal void
We are the empire of the Black Death

[Rejects]
Ego fero densum malum
Primae noctis atri leti
Quod is densum malum habet
Venga il grande e forte impero!

Long night and terror we bring
The great and strong empire will come!
With our king at the lead, no mercy to plead,
He won't hold back when his destiny calls
All hail the new king!

[Eirene]
In my sorrow
I will stand tall
I will honor you

[Grandfather]
Your tear, Eirene, is the harbinger of a very welcomed message. The light that emanates from the crystal is the proof that you are pure-hearted one, chosen by fate to give us meaning and purpose! My dear granddaughter, your father was not wrong! You are the one who shall be blessed by wisdom for you are the legitimate owner of the Aureum. I am proud of you and so honored to be here by your side.

The pain that shakes your is also the force that sustains you, as you are now one step away from discovering the meaning of our life and attaining true understanding. But, to be able to concentrate on your destiny, you must first defeat the darkness that lingers over the world
To do this, you will have to forge a weapon from this bright crystal.
You will create the blade that shall silence all the forces of evil

You will call it the Whyte Crystal Sword.

[Storyteller]
L'impeto
