18. The X Aspect (4:13)
Int. Home of Arhys & Xander - Night.
Arhys:
Betrayed my blood to save my son, a hopeless choice to make.
But who am I, If not the one who's meant to keep him safe?
Is trust and loyalty still justified, if I deny him of a better life?
Gabriel has always been the strength I call upon.
But nothing breaks a father's will to do what must be done.
Should I turn my back on him?
Abandon all our plans for revolution?
Will hope and freedom die by morning light?
Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son.
Destiny has shown its face and now the time has come.
Desperation blinds me.
And through these bloodstained eyes I see the light.
A better life is worth this sacrifice.
Arhys:
Betrayed my blood to save my son, a hopeless choice to make.
But who am I, If not the one who's meant to keep him safe?
Is trust and loyalty still justified, if I deny him of a better life?
Gabriel has always been the strength I call upon.
But nothing breaks a father's will to do what must be done.
Should I turn my back on him?
Abandon all our plans for revolution?
Will hope and freedom die by morning light?
Evangeline, I swore to you to love and guide our son.
Destiny has shown its face and now the time has come.
Desperation blinds me.
And through these bloodstained eyes I see the light.
A better life is worth this sacrifice.
