The Zeramin Game

The game has begun, only one way to run
 There's no turning back
 Through a valley of emptiness
 Holding the key to go on
 Nothing stands in our way
 There's a door in the distance beckoning
 But this is too easy
 I sense a curse we cannot see
 Then without warning
 An army of demons appeared (army appeared)
 Cladded in armour
 Each clutching a shield and a spear
 (There is a) thousand or more
 In between us and the door's so near
 But now it seems so far away
 There has to be a way
 Suddenly, the answer came to Vi
 For him it's clear to see
 That this is a test
 Not a battlefield
 All I see are fallen heroes
 Forced to fight eternally
 I'll set them free
 
 Sheathing the sword he had hastily drawn
 We have been granted the key to go on
 In peace let us pass, let this day be your last
 In this everlasting hell
 The first test they may have passed
 But little did they know
 The endless scale of what the wizards conjured
 Long ago
 They battled on through many tasks
 The fallen men had failed
 But youth and cunning may prevail
 And put to an end to a long lost tale
 The final games to conquer now
 So onward they must sail
 ♪
 No choices but to battle on
 Feeling that the end is closer than before
 Could this be the final test
 Or are we imprisoned here forevermore?
 Battered and bruised, we move on relentlessly
 Another door, could it be this one that sets us free?
 We beg of thee to have mercy on our souls
 Climbing toward the sky to reach our destiny
 So desperately longing for energy spent so long ago
 There's no turning back, to the top is the only way
 But if we can't carry on then we won't see another day
 If we fall we surrender it all, we must hold on
 ♪
 We were saved and rescued in our darkest hour
 By a friend we never knew we had before
 And now we sense we stand before the final door
 He wants to fight, but he can carry on no more
 It's up to us to end this war once and for all
 Reveal the secrets ever sealed within these walls
 And in the end no matter if we live or die
 We fought the fight and saw the end through our own eyes
 So now the brave young warriors
 Stepped forward in the dark
 Ever more determined
 To succeed and make their mark
 But unbeknown to them
 A tragic error they have made
 And now the game wants justice
 And to make a deadly trade
 The final test this is indeed
 But heed the signs you failed to read
 For only one can claim the prize
 The other must meet his demise
 So he game must now decide
 Who will live and who will die?
 Your final path you both must choose
 But choose it well, you've all to lose
 I'll never see your face again
 But I will always hear your voice
 You were my son, my only friend
 You were my hero till the end
 I say goodbye until we meet again
 And so at last in Xia
 There reigns a worthy king
 And in that king's new kingdom
 The people worship him and sing
 ♪
 This is the land of Xia
 Where there's a future free from mystery and fear
 A brand new era lasting 700 years and many more
 The blackened clouds are fading away
 The light shines through, tomorrow brings a brand new day
 And in the end we have redemption in the land of Xia
 In the land of Xia
