I was standing in the dark hall
In the castle my legacy just received
A deep breath filled my lungs
With dust of ancient times and deeds
On the walls my ancestors starred
Down on me with paralysing eyes
Their silent lips spelled out the words
Transformed the silence into a quest
The spirits of my past called out their battle cry
The oldest of ‘em all made a secret sign to me
Which I understood at once
I could see his jaws moving under his powdered wig
And I heard his cracked voice
“Your final mission, son: create a new heart
bring the energy we need to survive”
I know I have to carry on
The legacy of my family
I feel their presence strongly
They continue to live in me
Their stern looks demanding me
To fulfil my quest with no delay
A child born with our blood
The silent paintings speaks once more
Once again I heard their cries
I knew I had to relive the scene once more
The oldest of ‘em all made a secret sign to me
Which I understood at once
I could see his jaws moving under his powdered wig
And I heard his cracked voice
“Your final mission, son: create a new heart
bring the energy we need to survive
