(Intro) [Starts with a quiet, sorrowful melody played by the cello and violin in unison. The atmospheric synth pads are dark and heavy with dread. The tempo is slow, deeply personal, and intimate.] [Male:] (Low, strained whisper) I won't allow it. [Female:] (Fierce, but heartbroken) You must. (Verse 1 - Male) [Male sings with a desperate, pleading voice, maintaining a tender, mournful orchestral backing.] [Male:] My life is built on stolen ground, a kingdom forged in lies No Solari virtue can be found, beneath my cold, blue skies. My father's fault, my family's shame, the debt is ours to pay The Sun demands a searing flame, to burn the curse away. You are the light that must survive, the fire that must remain! I'll give the breath that keeps you alive, to end the endless pain! (Pre-Chorus - Female) [The music intensifies, strings swell dramatically. Female counters him with convincing passion.] [Female:] Your ice is broken, I see through, the rigid, empty shell! The man you are, is noble, true, the Prince who bravely fell! My death would mend the Lunari's flaw, complete the solar might! But if you vanish in the law, who guides me to the light? I need your eyes, I need your hand, to build the world anew! The truth is: I must save this land, by sacrificing you! (Chorus - Both, The Heartbreaking Dispute) [Massive, heartbreaking orchestral climax! Strings and brass play a passionate, tragic melody. Their voices are powerful, wrestling in call-and-response phrases.] [Male:] One heart, one sacrifice! I swear I’ll pay the cost! The ice will break, the fire suffice, for everything we lost! [Female:] One heart, one sacrifice! Then let it be my turn! You must ascend, beyond the price, the lessons you have learned! Both: How do we walk into the flood, and choose the one who falls? The bond is made of burning blood, that shatters both our walls! I can't survive without your breath, but my end saves your soul! (Verse 2 - Female) [Music is softer, but no less intense. Female appeals to Male's duty to his people, which she must now serve too.] [Female:] Your blood can heal the sister's blight, the fate she must endure. You are the keeper of the light, the final, only cure. If you should perish in this place, the Lunari will descend They'll rule with hatred and disgrace, a darkness without end. My purpose ends here at the brink, my power gives you all! I'll take the deepest, final drink, to stop the world from fall! (Pre-Chorus - Male) [Music builds again, Male is desperate, begging Female not to leave him.] [Male:] But who will teach me how to feel, the warmth I've never known? If you are gone, how can I heal, upon a frozen throne? This love we found in the unknown, is worth the Lunari's curse! I'll face the fate you want to own, and put the world in reverse! I beg you, leave me to the Source! My death will set us free! I cannot live, if this fierce force, takes everything from me! (Chorus - Both, Climax of Love and Loss) [The most dramatic moment of the song. The full choir, orchestra, and percussion erupt as their voices unite in a tragic cry.] [Male:] One heart, one sacrifice! I swear I’ll pay the cost! The ice will break, the fire suffice, for everything we lost! [Female:] One heart, one sacrifice! Then let it be my turn! You must ascend, beyond the price, the lessons you have learned! Both: How do we walk into the flood, and choose the one who falls? The bond is made of burning blood, that shatters both our walls! I can't survive without your breath, but my end saves your soul! (Bridge) [Music drops abruptly to a minimal, haunting underscore. Only quiet, pulsing synth pads and the solo cello, playing a slow, heartbreaking melody. Female and Male speak, their voices cracking with pain.] [Female:] (Tender, crying) I love you, Kael. For the hope you showed me. [Male:] (Desperate, reaching out) I love you, Elara. Don't leave me here alone... [Sudden, sharp orchestral dissonance, interrupted by a loud timpani hit. The King has arrived.] (Outro - The King's Arrival) [Music immediately turns dark and menacing. The martial motif from "The King's Relentless Hunt" crashes in (Brass and Percussion). Male and Female shout in alarm.] [Male:] (Shouting) They're here! Father! [Female:] (Urgent) Now, Kael! The Source! [Music builds rapidly with chaotic intensity as they run towards the Source. Ends with a massive orchestral cliffhanger chord that abruptly cuts off.]
