about

At the same time in the Otherworld, the Ageless (Fire, Water, Wind and Earth) gather at the LifeLight Fountain and inform their Leader, the Lady of Life, of the Boy’s abduction; already their realm is changing due to his absence.

lyrics

Intro:
Judge: “This tribunal will now come to order”
 
Wind:  
The prophecy that was long fore told,

Sadly has come - to pass.

The known enemy, this dark man,
Who has entered our - our home land.
  
From his unknown knowledge,
Once presumed is he will deploy.

This world and us to desecration 
He will seek - to destroy.
 
Fire:
Only the trails of the Universe,
The maker, he will find.
To conjure the known creation,
Within the Battle of the Minds.
 
A moment’s decision, 
May destroy our on reality.
And the echos of the voice pronounced,
How clever will it be?
 
Earth
No, this must not occur,
It should not pass!
We would cease,
And our home so vast.
 
So much of his effort,
So much of joy,
All come from the mind,
Of this little boy… 
  
Wind:
The mysterious man can conjure,
A creation of his - own his mind.
A dark dweller from the depths
,
Disfigured from birth kind.
 
Sent to bridge the gap,
And bring the boy - to his hands.
We should stop this travesty,
So soon - If we can.
  
Fire
Only the trails of the Universe,
The maker, he will find.
To combat his creation,
Within the Battle of the Minds.
 
These two souls lost before,
And journeyed down separate paths.
Will soon come together,
After all this time, at long last…
  
Water: 
Oh, the irony, 
For the damage, that can possibly ensue.
We may be able to help the boy.
If that’s what we choose to do.
 
Count out the beats and the rays time.
Find the fading lights to match the circular rhymes.
 
Fire:
Only the trails of the Universe,
The maker, he will find.
To conjure the known creation,
Within the Battle of the Minds.
 
A moment’s decision,
May destroy our on reality.
And the echos of the voice pronounced,
How clever will it be?
  
Judge:
“The clock is ticking elements!”
 
Wind
If we follow the rays of time,
We should find the beats - of the rhyme.
The boys power should then increase,
And the spawned creature should then cease.

To the seven spectral suns realms,
Our journey we will take.
All the colors for the six codes,
The combined power it would make!
 
Fire
Only the trails of the Universe,
The maker, he will find.
To challenge his creation,
Within the Battle of the Minds.
 
At our peril…
And our world may be destroyed.
But it what the righteous journey,
For the five of us to deploy.
 
Earth: 
No, you fools!
This being can not to be.
Tame the void of this man,
Never to be shown his creed.
 
This our world will survive.
We only have such limited part.
I request a verdict…
before we depart.

Judge:
“The final selection has been made by the Jury”
 
Fire:
This has all been foretold.
By the holy book so long ago.
Whatever happens, what will show.
It will not for us, only the Universe to….
Know....
