[music] They whispered her name in the temples of night. [music] Golden wings glowed in the candle light. Crowds came running just to see the flame, but envy [music and singing] was the price of fame. And now he stands where the echoes fall. With terror in
hand, hearing [music] every call, from praise to venom, in the same breath said, but the [music] fire [singing] in his eyes burns gold, not red. Two side, [music] one thread of light, crossing ages, crossing night to trial storms and
shadow seas, [music] both are bound by destiny. One myth, [music] one breathing here. Both unbroken, both sincere. The prophecy [music] unfolds in time. In every card, in every side,
[music] she sorted the seats in the dark of the hall. While the jealous [music] laughed, praying she would fall. He faces [music] the chat like a lion caged. Every word a [music] spark, every glare a blade.
Yet every [music] task, every poison dare turns into fuel for the fire he wears. They thought the game would grind him down. But he builds his crown from the stones they've thrown. Two [music] psyches, one thread of light. Crossing ages, crossing night
through [music] trial storms and shadow seas. Both are bound by destiny. What a myth, one breathing here. [music] Both unbroken, both sincere. The prophecy unfolds [music] in time. Every card in every sign.
[music] He walks through death for gifted a box. [music] He walks through lies like a wolf through the [music] fox. The underworld speaks but they keep [music] their pace. Shadow to shadow
face to face. In the deepest darkness all hide. [music] Both emerge on the other side. Change reborn and made to be the keepers of their legacy. [music] Fine oak through dead for a gift. Now
the trials fade from sight through chaos fire and whispering seas. [music] They stand crowned in victory. One in story, one in flesh. Yet their [music] journeys weave and mesh. The prophecy at last revealed in a soul that will not heal. [music]
