Lyrics
Verse
Once he dreamed to be released from slavery and pain,
a brighter future free from iron shackles' reign.
Born beneath twin suns that could not end his night,
the desert child, who shattered chains to walk the path of light.
They bound him to a vision that others blindly dreamed,
a fragile dawn, a fleeting spark ... much darker than it seemed.
Soon shadows circled ‘round the flame that fought to burn so strong
to choke its warmth and drag his weary soul along.
Pre-Chorus
Watch the fire that blazes far too bright,
for every dawn must wane before the night.
Chorus
Behold thyself, Oh Chosen One,
Shall balance shatter, shall hope be gone?
You swore to heal, to make us whole,
Not yield the darkness heart and soul.
Beware ...
Beware, Oh rising star,
Protect your glow, don't stray too far.
Your light’s at risk ... the dark will rise.
Can’t you see your own demise?
Verse
He reached out in despair to grasp what could not stay,
and struck at fate to keep a mournful end away.
He swore a vow that stained his light with fear ...
to keep her close, to save her life, he drew the darkness near.
For he embraced the shadows; hope could not remain,
the gift of love was cursed ... it turned to bitter pain.
He met his brother’s blade by rivers forged in fire,
and fell, undone by pride and his own dark desire.
Pre-Chorus
What can endure, when love must die,
when trust deceives and prophets lie?
Chorus
Behold thyself, Oh Chosen One,
The balance shattered, all hope undone.
You swore to heal, to make us whole,
Not yield the darkness heart and soul.
Fall ...
Fall, Oh rising star,
You lost your glow, you've strayed too far.
Your light has faded, the dark has won.
Realize what you've become.
Break
Verse
From fire’s ashes, his iron breath was drawn.
a broken man, a twisted soul ... his light forever gone.
The child of sand who dreamed of open skies,
Now stalks the galaxy with hatred in his eyes.
No joy shall pierce his mask of steel and grief,
haunted by ghosts of the past, he'll never find relief.
Bridge
Once bound by masters’ whip and chain,
Now bound by steel, shackled by darkness, doubt, and pain.
He hates the shell that keeps him whole,
a cold machine, a prison for his broken soul.
Pre-Chorus
All his life, he was never free.
Born a slave, ...
a slave he’ll always be.
Final-Chorus
Behold thyself, Oh Chosen One,
The balance shattered, all hope undone.
You swore to heal, to make us whole,
Not yield the darkness heart and soul.
Fallen ...
fallen, Oh blackened star,
No light remains, you've gone too far.
You turned into the thing you once defied,
The dawn is past ... behold the night ...
... behold the night ....
... behold the night.
