01. Legend Comes To Life
Young Boy : Help!!,
Young Boy : Help!!,
Narrator : Hope can be such a cruel torture
Crying Man : My son, he’s dying!
Torchman : All hail Floga! All hail Floga!
Torchman 01 : All water is controlled by the Empire
Crying Woman : Please, Let us have some water
Daon’s mom : Come on, there’s Torchman, get inside, come on, let’s go
Narrator : Even though you don’t believe in miracles
When you face the end,
you will come to rely on them
Man 01 : Where is he!?
Woman 01 : The prophecy said he’d be back by now.
Man 02 : It’s a lie! It’s all a bunch of lies!!!
Woman 02 : No, It’s not!
Man 03 : We’ll all die! We’re all gonna…
Old Man : You’ve gotta have faith
Narrator : Repeated frustration and fear separate people, driving them apart.
Daon : Mom, what is “rain”? I heard people talking about it.
Daon’s mom : If I tell you what it is, will you promise me that you’ll never tell anyone?
Daon : Yeah, I promise.
Daon’s mom : Many years ago, before Emperor Floga and his torchmen ruled our lands,
Water sometimes came down from the sky, falling from the clouds
We called the water “rain”
Narrator : When everyone else turns their back and flees, some will take a step forward
Daon’s mom : Without it, this land became a desert.
You are too young to know what it was before
But Fetile used to be called “the land of a million flowers”
Daon’s mom : Do you know what flowers are?
Daon : Yes, I saw them around the forest.
These days, more torchmen than flowers.
Maybe they are looking for water?
Narrator : For history is made by a few courageous people.
Daon’s mom : Maybe they are looking for something else…Or someone.
Behold, The legend comes to life
Yet why can't you see the
Sky cries before the hero rises
now we will see the light
Torchman 01 : Hey, how far do we have to go, man? The sun is going down
Torchman 02 : Hey! Get into position. Prepare for an ambush.
Torchman 01 : Ambush? What ambush? What are you so afraid of?
Torchman 02 : You have no idea how dangerous this forest is.
We’ve been sending troops for years but no one survives.
Torchman 01 : What’s in here? A monster?
Torchman 02 : Perhaps, or something much much worse
Daon : So…where’s the rain come from?
Daon’s mom : It used to fall naturally from the clouds.
But after the great disaster the rain stopped.
Then, four powerful beings came and brought back the rain.
Daon : Who were they?
Daon’s mom : Some said they were angels; others said they were shamans.
But they came to us from the clouds, so we call them CLOUDIAN
[ Choir ]
Now, the Legend comes to life
Yet why can't you see the
Sky cries before the hero rises
now we will see the light
The legend comes to life
You’ll see what I am
see what I am
see what I have
see what I’ll bring to you
[ Skit | Prophecy ]
As no fire can burn the flood,
No wall shall hold back the wave he brings.
The Empire of Fire will fall by the son of the gardener.
Servant (hushed panic): The Emperor... he’s losing his mind again...
Elder (steady, grim): Go, Find Seth.
I’ll speak with him... before any of us get killed.
Servant (subdued reply): Yes, my lord.
( Your time is up now )
02. New Wave
[ Chorus ]
The new wave
(wa-a-oh)
Do you hear the scream?
Do you hear the rumble of (a) new age?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the shade?
Do you see (that) the tide has come your way?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the pain?
Get ready to face the next stage!
(wa-a-oh)
You will never have any chance to stop this new wave
[ Verse 01 ]
Did you see it?
Did you hear it?
Did u know your glory would collapse soon?
You brought this on yourself
It was gonna end with your blood
You knew it
You saw it
Karma will flip the hourglass soon
You can’t fight it
Or run from it
Like no fire could burn the flood
[ Pre-Chorus ]
Even the blind could see the truth
( Your time is up now )
Why is it that you cannot?
( Your time is up now )
[ Chorus ]
The new wave
(wa-a-oh)
Do you hear the scream?
Do you hear the rumble of (a) new age?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the shade?
Do you see (that) the tide has come your way?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the pain?
Get ready to face the next stage!
(wa-a-oh)
You will never have any chance to stop this new wave
( The Empire shall fall by the second Gardener )
[ Verse 02 ]
You saw it?
You heard it?
Or are you just pretending not to?
is it too hard
to ignore
the doubt I plant in your soul?
[ Pre-Chorus ]
Even the blind could see the truth
Why is it that you cannot?
[ Chorus ]
The new wave
(wa-a-oh)
Do you hear the scream?
Do you hear the rumble of (a) new age?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the shade?
Do you see (that) the tide has come your way?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the pain?
Get ready to face the next stage!
(wa-a-oh)
You will never have any chance to stop this new wave
[ Bridge ]
I saw the sky split open like a wound
Bleeding black steel through the clouds
The first to rise were the hands once broken
Taught by fire, chosen by the fallen
Buried the truth in past
Burning the future fast
fueling the power of rusted machine to last
[ Chorus ]
The new wave
(wa-a-oh)
Do you hear the scream?
Do you hear the rumble of (a) new age?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the shade?
Do you see (that) the tide has come your way?
(wa-a-oh)
Do you feel the pain?
Get ready to face the next stage!
(wa-a-oh)
You will never have any chance to stop this new wave
[ Outro ]
(wa-a-oh)
You will never have any chance to stop my new wave
[ Skit | Warning ]
Don’t ever wonder too deep into Leogarden
There’s a goblin that lives in the heart of the forest
It controls the leopards and tigers.
They’ll kill anyone who steps into its territory
So no matter what happens
Don’t go too deep into Leogarden
03. Gardener
[ Chorus ]
Break me down
Burn me to the ground
Upon the ashes, I will claim my world, oh
(Bienvenue dans mon jardin, ha ha ha)
(Welcome to my garden, ha ha ha)
[ Verse 01 ]
Welcome to my garden
The invader’s prison
I’m the warden who forgot his own name
You will beg my pardon
Undertaker’s burden
I am the reaper, always get blamed
[ Pre-Chorus ]
(1 step)
1 step, oh, you’re feeling brave?
(2 step)
2 step, you better hold the line
(3 step)
3 step, too late, (say hi to your grave)
‘Cause I will greet you myself at the core zone
(There’s no way out)
no way out alive
[ Chorus ]
Break me down
Burn me to the ground
Upon the ashes, I will claim my world, oh
Tear me down
Grind me to the ground
I am the dust, let my garden grow, oh
No one can dare take away from its keeper
[ Verse 02 ]
Welcome to my garden
Where my soul is buried
I’m the shadow slipping through the vast green
Fear made you silent
But the claws can hear it
I’m the whisper invading your last scream
[ Pre-Chorus ]
(1 step)
1 step, roots trip your feet
(2 step)
2 step, thorns sink in deep
(3 step)
3 step, it’s my vines, (say bye to your limb)
I’m gonna cut you myself
( It’s a war zone )
[ Chorus ]
Break me down
Burn me to the ground
Upon the ashes, I will claim my world, oh
Tear me down
Grind me to the ground
I am the dust, let my garden grow, oh
No one can dare take away from its keeper
[ Bridge ]
no way out ( can’t get away, you can’t get away, no )
no way out alive ( no! you can’t take away, take away from my hand)
Son
my son
will you promise me to take care of my garden when I’m gone
[ Chorus Variation ]
Break me down
Burn me to the ground
Upon the ashes, I will claim my world,
my world, oh
You can tear me down
Grind me to the ground
I am the dust, let my garden grow, oh
Let it grow, oh
[ Last Chorus ]
Break me down
Burn me to the ground
Upon the ashes, I will claim my world, oh
Tear me down
Grind me to the ground
I am the dust, let my garden grow, oh
No one can dare take away
(Break me down,
Burn me to the ground, hey)
No one can dare take away
(Tear me down,
Grind me to the ground, hey)
No one can dare take away
from its keeper
