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
