2. Moment of Betrayal (6:11)
INT. HOME OF ARHYS AND XANDER – DAY
[Gabriel]
Brace yourself my brother
I have breaking news
The Noise Machines lie still tonight
There's no time to lose
No more threats of bloodshed
No more pain and fear
Ravenskill will brave the storm
Our victory is near
You are acting very strange
Nervous and on edge
I will be a voice for change
Brother give me strength
[Arhys]
Burning rose
Secrets sold
Moment of betrayal
Kiss of death
Blood revenge
Moment of betrayal
I have sworn to live and die
By the warrior's code
Never leave a man behind
May God redeem my soul
I will give you what you need
My brother for my son
Guilt and shame will burden me
Until my days are done
Meet me tonight where the stars touch the sky
He'll be alone there with nowhere to hide
Burning rose
Secrets sold
Moment of betrayal
Kiss of death
Blood revenge
Moment of betrayal
He will be defenseless
I'll look on
Say I put up a fight
There will be no witness
They will call you a hero tonight
Burning rose Secrets sold
Moment of betrayal
Kiss of death Blood revenge
Moment of betrayal
Threats and lies Changing sides
Moment of betrayal
Risking all Savior's fall
Moment of betrayal
[Gabriel]
Brace yourself my brother

Nervous and on edge
I will be a voice for change
Brother give me strength
