Lyrics

[Impresario] The war between the East and the West grows more violent by the day Draco, a soldier from the West, thinks Of his love, Maria, back at home... [Draco] O, Maria O, Maria, though I call you from afar Will this message reach your heart? Oh how I long to be with you [Impresario] The Western armies are defeated, and Maria's castle falls into the hands of the East. Forced to wed the Eastern Prince Ralse, Maria still thinks only of Draco as She gazes at the stars each night... [Maria] O my hero, my beloved Shall we still be made to part? Though promises of perennial Love yet sing here in my heart? I'm the darkness, you're the starlight Shining brightly from afar Through hours of despair I offer this prayer to you my evening star Must my final vows exchanged Be with him and not with you? Were you only here to quiet my fear O speak! Guide me anew [Impresario] Mustering the last of their strength, a handful Of survivors from the Western armies gather to Lay siege to Castle Garou. At the van, leading The ill-fated charge, is a lone hero. And Though battered and scared, he fights with The spirit of a thousand, felling one Eastern Soldier after another. Yes, Draco has returned! [Draco] Maria! [Maria] Draco! I knew you would return to me My love! [Ralse] Insolent rogue! Knave of the Western horde! You would address my queen-to-be, Maria? [Draco] Never shall you have Maria's hand! I would die before that day comes! [Ralse] Then we duel! [Draco] For my dear Maria! This life I'm ready to give [Ralse] No one man shall deny me her hand! 'Tis for our great love that I live! [Draco] Prepare to die! [Ralse] Say good-bye! [Draco] Tell me now what Maria is to you! (You cannot love her more than I do!) [Ralse] There is nothing more I need to prove! (My mind is set my heart, it is true) [Draco] Then we are left with but one avenue: [Ralse] On my blade I swear [DRACO & RALSE] You shall not win this time Maria, is mine! [Impresario] For what seems an eternity, the bitter Rivals exchanged blows, neither yielding Any ground. Until, that is, Fate chooses To intervene, guiding the blade of a Grievously wounded Draco straight Through the heart of Prince Ralse [Ralse] I yield, this day is yours Draco curse you should let Maria go [Draco] Peace then, for you have my word: With me she'll know nothing of grief [Ralse] Maria, Maria, I love you so [Draco / Ralse] Maria, Maria, return to me [Maria] I am thankful my beloved For your tenderness and grace I see in your eyes, so gentle and wise All doubts and fears erased! Though the hours take no notice Of what fate might have in store [All] Our love, come what may, will never age a day I'll wait forever more! I'll wait forever more!
