Ext. Ravenskill Town Square - Day.

Narrator:
Far in the distant future, beyond the pages of our time.
Cold blooded wicked tyrants, threaten the freedom of mankind.
Corruption, lust and greed, define the new nobility.
Changing the course of history.

Across the vast North Empire, most people struggle to survive.
Living a meek existence while their secluded leader thrives.

Arhys:
We are living day to day, forced to bear the lion's share.
People just don't have the time for music anymore,
and no one seems to care!

My friends, I've seen the chosen one!
Our quest for freedom has begun.
He will be the answer to our prayers!

There walks a God among us, who's seen the writing on the wall.
He is the revolution, he'll be the one to save us all.

My brother Gabriel is all the hope we need,
shining like a beacon in the night.
Sheperd of Ravenskill, a reason to believe.
Music is the gift he brings,
the songbird stops and listen when he sings.
