lyrics
LYRICS:
Elemental forces of nature combine
The Orchids and mountains, our Empire's disguise
Our oceans protected by serpents of the sea
Our perfect utopia cloaked in tranquility
Our twenty-first year, our chance to ascend
Behind my brother, to Elite of the Yamaran
It was his birthright, our predestination
A lifelong pursuit that consequence changed in an instant
From subservient of the firstborn
To servant of the empire
Now to exalted subject of the emperor (x3)
Elemental forces of nature combine
The Orchids and mountains, our Empire's disguise
Our oceans protected by serpents of the sea
Our perfect utopia cloaked in tranquility
I'm no betrayer, to my bloodline I show reverence
It was not my hand that disturbed fate's compass
I never asked for this, How could I comprehend
That my act of kindness, would spiral into such madness (x2)
Amidst cascading waterfalls
Amongst the fields and trees
Within the orchids and mountains
I'll work to restore the name of my family
Amidst cascading waterfalls
Amongst the fields and trees
Within the orchids and mountains
I'll work to restore the name of my family
