13. A Life Left Behind (5:49)
Int. Emperor's Palace - Night.

Faythe:
I never knew someone was out there.
A long way from nowhere, who could open my eyes.
All of this time while I'm sleeping, the world changed around me.
Now I've never felt more alive!

I'm waking up from a life left behind,
to see what lies ahead.
I'm waking up!

Arabelle:
Fate found a way to bring them together.
Once and forever and won't let them go.
Nothing I say can keep her from leaving.
Her life has new meaning, I lost her a long time ago.

Faythe:
I'm waking up from a life left behind,
To see what lies ahead.
I'm waking up!

I'm waking up!
Now that yesterday's gone.
Won't close my eyes again.
I'm waking up!

I'll plan to return well disguised, make sure that I'm not recognized.
Tomorrow a new sun will rise and somehow I'll find you.
Nothing will stand in my way, soon I will see you again.

I'm waking up from a life left behind,
To see what lies ahead.
I'm waking up!

I'm waking up!
Now that yesterday's gone.
Won't close my eyes again.
I will never look back.
I'm waking up!

Arabelle:
You'll be her shadow as she moves, my son.
But she can never know you're there.
She is alone and rebel guards are everywhere.

Daryus:
I'll keep her safe from all danger, won't let her out of my sight.
Did I fail to mention my honest intentions?
This is the chance I deserve.
Heed my words, justice will be served.
