A Better Life |
| «Attention, battalion! |
| To rank right, face! |
| Forward, march!» |
| EXT. |
| RAVENSKILL REBEL COMMAND — NIGHT |
| ARHYS |
| As fearless leader of the Ravenskill Militia |
| The blood of warriors flows throughout my veins |
| My brother’s gift remains my secret ammunition |
| It is our hope, our pride |
| A catalyst for change |
| Still the fires of revolution burn within my eyes |
| On this perilous road to freedom |
| He’s our one and only guide |
| For many years I’ve seen |
| Our people starve and suffer |
| How many more will die before we stand and fight? |
| They ask me «Arhys, could things be any tougher?» |
| The answer’s no surprise: «Yes, you bet your life!» |
| Now the fires of revolution won’t burn for evermore |
| I see liberty in our future |
| And it’s one worth fighting for |
| We all long for a better life |
| Like a dream that can’t be denied |
| This is the moment |
| Now is the time |
| Freedom if we live or if we die |
| I shall give him a better life |
| I swore this vow to my dying wife |
| Sure she would not survive |
| Peacefully she slipped away |
| The meaning in my life |
| Was born that day |
| And so I found the strength to carry on with this crusade |
| It is my fate |
| Evangeline, you lived a life of misery and pain |
| Evangeline, I’ll never let your memory die in vain |
| Evangeline, my heavy heart still bleeds |
| I dedicate my life to set him free |
| And I will carry on to plant the seeds |
| I promise in the name of our new son |
| This battle won’t be over until it’s won |
