7. A Savior in the Square (4:13)
EXT. RAVENSKILL TOWN SQUARE - DAY
[Nafaryus]
We have come to hear him sing
To see this gift your savior brings
[Narrator]
A crowd has grown, and all are mesmerized
But silence quickly falls as Lord Nafaryus arrives
[Nafaryus]
Please don’t stop on my account,
Show us what we’ve heard so much about?”
[Arhys]
In peace, we gather here today
[Daryus]
Don’t make him ask again
Do as my father says!
[Gabriel]
Brother, worry not, today
I will share my music, and they will soon be on their way
They only know the noise machines
So I’ll treat them all to sonic ecstasy
Never in my dreams could I deserve
To ever see a vision quite like her
Then unexpectedly
I’m taken by surprise
An angel just appeared before my eyes
[Nafaryus]
We have come to hear him sing
To see this gift your savior brings
[Narrator]
A crowd has grown, and all are mesmerized
But silence quickly falls as Lord Nafaryus arrives
[Nafaryus]
Please don’t stop on my account,
Show us what we’ve heard so much about?”
[Arhys]
In peace, we gather here today
[Daryus]
Don’t make him ask again
Do as my father says!
[Gabriel]
Brother, worry not, today
I will share my music, and they will soon be on their way
They only know the noise machines
So I’ll treat them all to sonic ecstasy
Never in my dreams could I deserve
To ever see a vision quite like her
Then unexpectedly
I’m taken by surprise
An angel just appeared before my eyes
