about

Alone in his oddly oversized bedroom, the boy sits at the foot of his bed playing with toys; the small yellow figures move about their block buildings as the boy narrates a tale. Soon his mother sends him to bed. After lying down and closing his eyes, the Dark Dweller enters and stands over him, in the shadows, before abducting the boy. Although a number of fantastical creatures (a Phoenix, Griffon, etc.) attempt to prevent the kidnapping, the Dark Dweller escapes with the boy into the dark portal realm.

lyrics

(Phoenix Spirit)
A little boy playing in his room
Playing with his cars and blocks
Not knowing - of the evil that has entered
Not knowing - of the impending doom
 
The Phoenix will protect this young boy
You will not - bring harm to him
He holds - the key to our universe
I was chosen to protect that within
 
(David the Younger - As a Young Child)
Here is the soft glow of protection
I lie with self assurance
Knowing that no harm will come to me
For those who has perseverance
 
(Phoenix Spirit)
Little boy I am your chosen keeper
Keep your strength, for all that you do.
He has needs that he doesn’t understand
I will try to not let him have you.
 
Your purpose is defined for greater things
You will soon find your own path.
Find the inner peace of that maternal love
Something that you longed to have.
 
Beyond this realm we must connect
The two points of logic you will not reject
This boy is the key to the master’s plan
You will not longer have a hand.

(Dark Dweller)
Your interference is not welcomed
You do not understand his primitive mind!
Others will call him crazy...
You are just becoming a waste of time.
 
(Dark Dweller)
Little man you will come here with me
You destiny has been prescribed
Your mind and soul belong to the dark king
These childish thoughts are just a wasted time.
 
Part II - The Battle
 
(Phoenix Spirit)
Run little boy, do not let him succeed!
He is only after his own war and greed.
Your strength will provide you what you need to know
Even if he succeeds in capturing you now
 
(Dark Dweller)
Get over here, your soul is mine
Your miserable wretch you will not be divine!
I will destroy you as well
For the dragon’s voice will cast a spell.
 
Time has chosen you
Time has chosen you
Time has chosen you
Alone
 
(Phoenix Spirit)
I will use the last of my might to encase the boy
In a spell of protection is mine to deploy.
A wound you have struck to my side.
But it will repair itself in due time.
 
(Dark Dweller)
At last I have you in my hands
Your mind will be the one we have.
My honor will the master soon provide.
To know that I did not waste his ---.
 
Time has chosen you
Time has chosen you
Time has chosen you
Alone
 
(Phoenix Spirit)
Hang on there my son,
Your journey has just begun.
The point to all of this will be revealed
Soon before you discovered the world is not real.
 
Time has chosen you
Time has chosen you
Time has chosen you
Alone
 
Part III - The Get Away
 
(Dark Dweller)
Little man you will come here with me
You destiny has been prescribed
Your mind and soul belong to the dark king
These childish thoughts are just a wasted time.
 
(Phoenix Spirit)
The monster soon will escape.
To the boy’s capture, he will elate.
Once his knowledge is to be known
The world as we know will be no more
