Ext. Ravenskill - Day.
Arhys' Spirit:
Brother, can you hear me?
His life is in your hands!
He is just a child and still too young to understand.
Show him love and courage, that freedom knows no bounds.
Tell him he could never let me down.
Xander:
Father, I will make you proud.
Rest in peace.
Gabriel:
I've always had the answer.
All this time I held the key.
And now that I see the reason to believe,
I can be the man who I am meant to be.
Faythe:
Because of you I live again.
Now I can be a voice for change,
and help to build a world that's fair and true.
So they can live the life they never knew.
Nafaryus:
On the road to revolution, there are lessons to be learned.
All the things you thought that mattered are lost at every turn.
When the light of my existence was slipping through my hands,
pride and ignorance receded to reveal a humbled man.
Arabelle:
My prince, my son.
You got lost along the way.
In light of this new burden that you face,
you are forgiven on this day!
Ensemble:
People, can you hear us?
Peace has been restored!
The silence has been broken, music reigns forevermore!
We sing a song of freedom, together we are bound.
People, we shall never hold you down!
We will build a world on common ground,
and we'll live once more, eternally in harmony.
Our lives will be astonishing again.
