[03:51.24]
[03:55.65]To the one that i love,my journey has begun
[04:02.86]When our eyes meet once more there will be peace
[04:10.61]The taste of your lips the warmth of your touch
[04:17.52]Again, forever, two souls as one
[04:27.52]
[04:35.02]Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
[04:39.07]Home - I'm dreamed of home
[04:44.02]I've been twenty years away from all i ever knew
[04:50.23]To return would make my dream come true
[04:59.24]
[05:05.24]Seasons of sorrow have stolen all my years
[05:13.14]I miss the rolling hills of Ithaca
[05:20.19]I've been through battles and cried a sea of tears
[05:27.45]But the tide is changing, and with it all my fears
[05:35.45]
[05:38.45]I will return -
[05:43.05]
[05:44.05]Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
[05:48.92]Home - I'm dreamed of home
[05:54.04]I've been twenty years away from all i ever knew
[06:00.69]To return would make my dream come true

[08:18.25]
[08:24.25]Behold the sea and winds of Jove
[08:29.25]We set sail guided by the stars above
[08:34.25]The ports of Troy escape our view
[08:38.25]A cold and stormy fate awaits our rendezvous
[08:42.25]
[08:44.25]Onward we ride, into the raging fury
[08:48.25]Setting our course by the moon and sun
[08:53.25]We forge ahead seeking glory
[08:57.87]Yet the journey has just begun
[09:01.03]
[09:03.03]Onward we ride - nine days we brave her might
[09:08.03]

[09:22.13](Part III - The Eye)
[09:25.13](music- Romeo)
[09:28.13](lyrics - Romeo)
[09:31.13]
[09:48.15]Awakened at dawn - land dead ahead
[09:53.31]With the winds of the morning we change course
[09:55.90]No remorse, a place forbidden to all
[09:59.90]
[10:01.59]Search all the grounds - find food and water
[10:06.59]Yet journey not into the Cave of Woe
[10:10.59]Long ago, a legend spoke of a beast
[10:14.59]
[10:15.59]A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone
[10:22.59]A thousand nightmares mortal's blood forever flows
[10:29.40]
[10:41.40]A mountainous black - engulfed in a shadow
[10:45.60]A bone-chilling growl and an Eye of Hate
[10:49.71]A ghastly fate - held prisoner by the Eye
[10:54.71]
[10:55.11]Yet he must sleep - as the daylight fades
[10:59.13]We focus our senses and sharpen our blade
[11:03.13]We take aim - In silence we strike
[11:07.13]
[11:08.13]A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone
[11:15.76]A thousand nightmares - blood runs forever
[11:21.36]from the Eye...

[12:18.57](music - Romeo)
[12:21.57](Lyrics - Romeo)
[12:24.57]
[12:26.03]We sit adrift on the open sea
[12:32.03]The gift of wind by Zeus concealed - so carelessly
[12:39.03]We break the waves on a course untrue
[12:46.03]Across the endless plain of blue - a new coast in view
[12:54.03]
[12:59.03]We carouse with the maiden
[13:04.91]Beneath her eyes the madness lies in mystery
[13:09.91]I drink deep from the chalice of gold and jade
[13:14.91]My senses fade ...i'm mesmerized
[13:21.91]
[13:27.91]Stay - like those before i condemn you all
[13:32.91]from walk to crawl...metamorphosized
[13:37.91]No - my will it defies her speak the verse
[13:43.21]lift the curse ...she's mesmerized
[13:48.91]
[13:52.91]Am I asleep?
[13:56.49]Tell me Daughter of the Sun
[14:00.40]There's vengeance in the air
[14:04.40]and all things will be undone
[14:09.40]

[15:16.42]Dire warnings -
[15:19.42]told by the sorceress in white,‘False bringers
[15:22.07]of love'-Sirens
[15:26.07]Echoing songs from above
[15:29.07]
[15:30.07]Wings flowing -
[15:34.07]floating on sea of Lies,I defy
[15:37.07]their vision
[15:40.07]Elysium swallows my cries
[15:46.07]
[15:58.07]Embracing -
[16:01.07]maidens of lust stimulate,And manipulate
[16:04.07]my senses
[16:08.07]i welcome a watery grave
[16:11.65]
[16:12.65]Tied steadfast
[16:17.65]to the mast tragedy awaits me
[16:20.65]I'm falling
[16:22.65]victim betrayed by the sea

[20:17.49]
[20:46.49]So this is home...
[20:49.49]In the guise of a beggar -Minerva guides my way
[20:53.42]I find my kingdom in jeopardy
[20:57.42]
[21:00.07]Vengeance - it swells within me
[21:02.97]As I spy so many who eye my queen
[21:07.07]I'll make them pay for this blasphemy...All will see
[21:16.07]
[21:17.07]Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
[21:24.19]I will right all the wrongs
[21:26.19]Let the Gods sing my song

[21:37.19]Let a new life begin
[21:39.19]my journey has come to and end

[21:59.89]A contest of valor
[22:01.94]‘To pierce the twelve rings
[22:03.94]in a single arrow's flight’
[22:07.84]Yet, not a one can string the bow
[22:11.84]
[22:13.84]My veil of silence lifted
[22:15.84]all is revealed
[22:17.84]Revenge burns in my heart
[22:21.84]Thrashing and slashing down all my foes...to claim the throne

[23:02.84]
[23:25.87]Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
[23:31.87]Home - I'm finally home
[23:36.87]I've been twenty years away from all i ever knew
[23:43.87]I have returned to make my dream come true
[23:53.87]
