lyrics

The final trial reveals weakness of mortal man
Besides the test of his might he fought the duel of faith
The master in his arts experienced a vile surprise, as if the fear has grown inside his skillful eyes

The epic hero arises after the shattered skies have filled with storm
He's beginning the challenge that's completed by none
From darkness he will emerge to face his internal self
Only so he can reach something that no one has

The whole world begins to swirl when we can't resist our doubt
What if it reveals the fear at the end of the night

Standing upon the ashes of the unbreakable gods who never learned to give up
You want to face your damnation so there will be no salvation
If that's the path that you choose...
There is no going back after the wasted youth
The time will cease like a wind in terms you never expected it
Would you trust? In your masters advice:
“if you're not focused enough you better run for your life”
Could you redeem disappointment?
From the face of a man who's been created to thrive

The whole world begins to swirl when we can't resist our doubt
What if it reveals the fear at the end of the night
All your efforts have no use; it was fated you will lose
What if shame will make us fall straight into a blackhole

Welcome to the end game
Will he still remain the unbeaten one?
When the clouds lit by the red sunrise and the screams triggered by the aftermath
Will he never give a fuck?

Behind the concept of faith, beyond our close-minded heads we hidden trickiest catch that haunts us till the death
It's meant for us to resist feeling that we can succeed when there is a seed of disbelief planted among our dreams

Drop the curtain
He's creating his story through the actions
Only mind separates the judgment and intentions
Taking a step back every time you that try will bring you out of the track
You'll lose it all somewhere and it'll bring you fucking nowhere
When you'll perish in darkness, in the vessel that's full of disguidness
there is one question to answer:
Will you still believe in yourself?
“Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
