[Music] She wandered through shadows, heart wrapped in chains.
A mortal soul ling, tethered to pain. Whispers of a love she could never see. A hidden hand guiding her destiny.
From the golden heights he watched unseen. A god of desire in shadows between Cupid's wings beating against fate's cruel wall.
One spark, one touch could ignite it all. Forbidden fire, a love untamed, a mortal girl and a god of name.
Through trials and terror, the darkness they fight, two hearts colliding [Music] in the edge of night sight. Rise on wings of light. Love is a storm in the
endless night. Through fire, through fear, through tears we climb. Eternal stars beyond space and time. Cupid strike with your unseen hand. Lift the soul. Make understand the mortal heart. The immortal flame bound by love
forever the same. [Music] Labors of the gods, a path paved in pain. Rivers of sorrow, tempest of rain,
a box of despair, a trial to cruel. Yet courage was hers. The world made her jewel. He fell silent, afraid to be known.
