Days Of Yore Sole Hero Lyrics

Sole Hero Lyrics


In heaven, 
the gods stood pondering, overwhelmed by the mess caused by
the mad god.  
"In this world, is there any soul that can extirpate all this
evil?" they wondered. 
"May this one, if he exists, reveal to us before the
cancerous decay reaches 
the eternal skies." 
As the sole hero prepared
to stand before the gods, 
the evil seed was spreading out across the land,

plunging the world of the mortals into turmoil. 

Chaos, powers of
the dark side overgrowing beyond control, 
soiling all the kingdoms across
the breadth of the earth. 
Demons, brigands and Judas, killing and stealing
without remorse. 
Fading more, day after day, the precarious flame of
hope.

And the gods looked down from heaven to a world falling into
decay. 
The balance from the forces of  law and chaos was crumbling away.

And they thought the time had come to draw out the pernicious poison.
To
close the circle once more and annihilate their creation.

But came up the
demigod, who was the great Syrakia.
"Please change your minds." he said,
"Bellow still live righteous mortals.
Amongst them stands a sole hero, who
is my trustworthy descendant. 
The Sphinx he defeated, the dragon he slayed,
the lures of Kol he withstanded."

And the gods looked down from heaven to
the deeds of the sole hero.
They believed that his will was worth the
confidence of the gods. 
And they thought the time had come to pass on their
divine power. 
To grant the sword of truth once more and restore harmony in
this world.      

And the hero looked up to the edge of the sky,

perceived the divine sign in the depths of his heart.      

Sole
hero in the quest for freedom,  preserving hope across the land. 
With the
fate of the kingdoms   lying in his nimble hands. 

A celestal stairway
appeared, a stairway that seemed to touch the sky. 
The elder looked
exhausted   after casting his last spell, 
but he managed to climb one by
one the crystal stairs before coming back   
with a crystal sword pendant.

The young prince stood amazed. 
"The most powerful sword shall ever be
nothing more than a vulgar piece of steel." 
he said. "Put on   this
pendant. 
The only sword of truth, in its time shall be revealed." 
The
turn events were taking was more and more peculiar.
