[Narrator]
The evening stars shine brightly
Over Heaven's Cove
As night descends in silence
The fated scene unfolds
Consumed with trepidation
Arhys hears his brother's voice
[Gabriel's Voice]
As you're facing the path that divides
I will always be here by your side
[Arhys]
I feel my pulse begin to race
Beads of sweat drip down my face
I have made a grave mistake
What have I done?
My blood for my son?
It's not too late
I won't betray him
[Daryus]
I knew the day had come
And you could be tempted
To give up The Chosen One
And finally end this
Do anything for your son
A terminal weakness
But now you're as good as done
[Arhys]
I didn't have a choice
And I was defenseless
I didn't believe his voice
And fighting was senseless
But now I can see the truth
I've come to my senses
I shouldn't have trusted you
[Narrator]
Arhys was never aware
His son had followed him there
Confused and deathly afraid
X watched his hero be brave
[Arhys]
On the path that divides
You were there by my side
There will be no betrayal tonight
I found courage and strength
In the words you once sang
Tore the truth from the lies
On the path that divides
[Daryus]
You dare defy your prince?
Well you just threw your life away
Along with Xander's dreams
You chose the wrong man to betray
[Narrator]
Two hungry warriors
Clash in the shadows of the night
But there's a cost with every fight
And Arhys' fight for hope
Cost him his very life
