Plot
The world of Zantea was a cursed land ruled by mad kings. Ovaris decided to free the realm from evil and defeated Vosar. Ovaris’ victory made magic vanish.
Lyrics
Storyteller :
Before the golden age
in the world of Zantea
two powerful gods had a fight
Ovaris the spirit of dawn
Vosar the lord of abyss
rose upon the sky in the middle of the night
Dark magic had ruled this land
for almost a thousand years
mad kings reigned over these times
spilling blood and shedding tears
Ovaris threw his lightning
and crushed the son of darkness
imprisoning him in a bronze cell
inside the mouth of madness
Before the golden age
in the world of Zantea
reigned pain and fear
light had won
and darkness had lost
the art of magic disappeared

The kindness and love of Roziel

in her twentieth year will show up
a force that the world has never seen
That is the only way
to stop the dark lord’s plans
to prevent the virtuous man
to paint his hands with blood

they hang out and play, with unsullied love
and make a connection of trust
Morzan obeyed his master’s commands
and made a fake world for her
he didn’t want his crimes to be revealed
and discover her mother's death
He put a spell on her
every time she came out of the castle
he put a spell on her
to see lie as truth

in the castle’s deepest place”

inside the oak’s hollow
to the beloved place
that you used to meet Sirin”

passed through a copper ring
stuck in her forehead
Sirin :
“My dreams have come true
Ansel you finally came
like a guardian angel
always beside me
it’s time to end this game”
Storyteller :
When the sun’s first light shined
a little bird sat on her head
he took her in his arms
and they started to say
they started to pray

“Ovaris, defender of lost souls
protector of the day
please, free their spirit
and like this bird
help them fly away”
Storyteller-Nantou :

and shine like the sun
the chain breaks
the copper ring falls
she is free at last
she is free at last

just say my name
and i'll come next to you
i’ll be there for you
you are everything to me”

in a land far away
and from the deepest cell
