Aina - Flight Of Torek lyrics

[Narrator: Tobias Sammet] [Talon: Glenn Hughes] [Torek: Thomas Rettke] [Backing Vocals: Robert Hunecke-Rizzo] [Narrator:] The King has ruled a reign of long And good and fair he was to all But alas, the sun sets on his time Which renders him frail and small The throne now calls the next in line Where Torek stands, proud and strong His destiny writ in the books of old To rule as King in the House of Ainean [Chorus:] But pride can come to rule the ones Whose hearts are faintly clouded For love can blind and torture you And in rage leave you shrouded Destruction of a soul Can be the aftermath of loss Then fear the flight of Torek For it will bring chaos! The crown that lays upon his head Is surely bright and shining But won't compare to his shining love For whom his heart is pining A queen he needs to fill the place Beside his throne now empty And he's longed for his Lady Oria For a thousand years and twenty [Chorus] Of his love he'd said to none Whilst plans he'd had to make And on the eve that he would profess His plans he came to break For Talon came, his brother dear Shaking with delight And with growing rage did Torek hear His love was taken claim that night [Talon:] My brother, I have such news to share My longing kept hidden in strife My heart is overjoicing For soon I shall have a wife To Oria Allyahan Did I profess my love And fall into my arms did she And say that she did love... ... me too [Narrator:] Fire coursing through his veins To Oria he ran To beg her if it all was true To pray to understand So hear did he her true heart said Her love belonged to his brother And curse did he their new found love [Aina Choir:] For cursed she should be If she didn't love he! [Narrator:] And should be content with no other! [Aina Choir:] Yes, cursed she will be If she doesn't love he! [Narrator:] Out he storms from Aina fair A self-imposed exile Far he'll go to escape the burn Of rejection's bitter bile Out he storms not looking back And vows to never return For now he hates the lovely land And would rather see it burned [Torek:] For how I hate that lovely land And will someday see it burn!!
