I. ON MY MARK

[VERSE 1]
--Duras'kò / Alìyara:
This is it - the moment we've been waiting for
Now it's time to finally settle the score
We're waking up a nation that is comatose
The water's still - and we’re about to rock the boat

[CHORUS 1]
--Duras'kò / Alìyara:
Rally the troops - We are locked and loaded
Ready to go - This is our moment
Striking the match and about to light this fuse
Róçtok beware - The revolution's coming
When this is done, you'll be left with nothing
We're taking it back - and we're coming after you

[VERSE 2]
--Duras'kò / Alìyara:
Do you hear? We people have begun to sing
A brand new tune - But I don't think they’re listening
Compared to theirs, our melody is out of key
So on my mark, we change the course of history

[CHORUS 2]
--Duras'kò / Alìyara:
"Sound the alarm!" We hear their soldiers shouting
It's just the start and they are all surrounded;
With our guiding star, our mission's to reclaim her throne
We’re on the attack - But still, be on your guard if
They start to fight back - Don't worry about our target;
Alìyara can confront him on her own
--Alìyara:
Don’t worry, I've got this!

[BRIDGE]
--Alìyara:
Maybe he is willing to listen..
Violence is a last resort to me

II. THE LAST STAND

[VERSE 3]
--Róçtok:
You dare question my right to rule this land?
What makes you think you can take it from me?
--Alìyara:
Róçtok, believe me, I understand
I know exactly how you feel

[VERSE 4]
--Alìyara:
Maybe we can rule this land together
With you at my side, the way it was meant to be
--Róçtok:
(No!) There's no way I'll surrender
Doesn't it hurt, to be denied your destiny?
--Alìyara:
Listen, Róçtok; the people all are crying
Did you ever think that we would suffer in silence?
--Róçtok:
(Lies!) You're jealous of my triumph
I freed them all from the rulings of a tyrant!

[VERSE 5]
--Róçtok:
You made my home your slaves
And turned us all complacent
--Alìyara:
We helped you on your way
And stopped the warring nations
Peace had been achieved all around
So tell me Róçtok, who’s the tyrant now?

III. HAVE AT YOU

--Róçtok:
"The things you say, they were never true...
Enough, Alìyara! Have at you!"

IV. HANLON'S RAZOR

[VERSE 6]
--Róçtok:
It’s ironic - The one I neglected to kill
Had got away and has now caused my blood to be spilled
The world seems cold - I feel my light fading to black
The end is near - and I know there’s no going back

[CHORUS 3]
--Róçtok:
I'm now aware, there’s no use in fighting
I see now that I was misguided
I'm so ashamed of the man I turned into
Promise me this - You will govern fairer
Than I ever could - I know you'll do better
I will place every ounce of faith in you

[VERSE 7]
--Alìyara:
The deed is done - there'll be no more bloodshed tonight
The war is won - and we're the victors of this fight
We rolled the dice and now we are claiming our share
But the sacrifice, the cost is my burden to bear

[CHORUS 4]
--Duras'kò:
Go spread the word! The reign of Róçtok's over
The tide has been turned and our future's golden!
Mission complete! It’s the start of a new day!
We claim the night as a new sun is rising
You are the light, as you shine upon us,
Your Majesty, it is time to take your place!
