Lyrics Episodes 1 - 13
CD 1: 1 - Overture Pt. I
- instrumental -as the sound grew louder,
she realized it had been neither thunder, nor drums.
pounding hooves resounded through the narrow alley.
against a background of thick black smoke they appeared.
the horses had broken free.
CD 1: 2 - Overture Pt. II
Acario: early morning, still it's darkshe is always there, I know
waits upon the black cliffs at the arch
for the sun to come, I know
all the while an omen grows within
soon it comes, soon it will begin
waiting for the sunrise on the ocean
shed it's light upon friend and foe
things to come will soon be set in motion
and she's always there, i know
and oh
she doesn't know me yet but one day soon she will
no reason left for me to bide my time anymore
and oh
she doesn't see me yet but one day soon she will
no reason left for me to hide anymore
anymore
CD 1: 3 - Map Of The World
Ezio: me, a little man, came to the big citylooking for work, and they did not refuse
I get to fly around and around
make a map of the world
for the Out There Institute
OTI: round and round you'll roam
on your own and far away from home
Ezio: they gave me all that I need to do what I must
a flying device and all this stuff
like a mechanical bird I'm up there, up in the air
better wish me luck
OTI: round and round you'll roam
on your own and far away from home
Ezio: over the rooftops, over the houses, over the trees
over the rivers, over the mountains, over the seas
round and round I'll roam
on my own and far away from home
map of the world, around the world
I'm out of here, I'm gone, I'm out of here
drift on the wind, so it begins
I have no fear, I'm gone, I'm out of here
CD 1: 3 - Fairground Of Ark Pt. I
it's been the same since the old timesin the annual time of the year
the crowds would gather at the shoreline
and the fairground of Ark would appear
a display of wonders and miracles
the strangest sights ever seen
before your eyes became visible
behold the world of your dreams
when cracks appear and fabric's torn apart
we get to see the world behind it all
the horrid, the wondrous, they make your heart sway
and fill your eyes with tears
the fairground of Ark has it's own ways
to make your pain disappear
it's all there, let them take you away
to a world beyond sorrow and fear
when cracks appear and fabric's torn apart
we get to see the world behind it all
CD 1: 4 - Fairground Of Ark Pt. II - A World Away
Acario: she's like an angel soaring through the skyshe's but a world away from me now
walks up to me and I'm a fool and I
don't know what to say, don't know how
saw here standing at the shoreline
upon the rocks that day, that day
could not tell what she was waiting for and I
turned around and I walked away
walk away, turn away
streets are empty, in the night I roam
away, away
for the day will come when I am not alone
away, away
streets are empty, in the night there's no one there but me
walk away, turn away
she's but a world away and I'm alone
too afraid when she comes close, too numb
I hide my face and I walk away
I am lost, I am overcome
by my disgrace and hide away
the curse I carry with me in my heart
until the day that I leave it all
walk away, turn away
streets are empty, in the night I roam
away, away
for the day will come when I am not alone
away, away
streets are empty, in the night there's no one there but me
walk away, turn away
she's but a world away and I'm alone
CD 1: 5 - Wanderlust
Ezio: in the silence of transcendencewinds will tell me where to go
in the air, it fills my senses
as the lands slide past below
was it destiny that called me?
who'd have thought, who would have known?
look where I came, look where it brought me
and for all this time I've flown
but I can't forget the remnants
of a past I left behind
they will stay with me forever
in the corners of my mind, mind
in my aerial endeavors
as these wings became my own
wanderlust, it grew forever
leading me to worlds unknown
but I can't forget the remnants
of a past I left behind
they will stay with me forever
in the corners of my mind
and I can't forget the remnants
of a past I left behind
they will stay with me forever
in the corners of my mind
as these winds will not forsake me
there is always more to find
and wherever they may take me
I will always look behind
"I Ezio of Ezra, came to the bustling trade city of Ancario, hoping to find some work.
A prosperous city full of colors and extraordinary sights. I was lucky enough to find employment
at the Out There Institute (OTI), as an aerial mapmaker.
Now I've completed my training and I'm ready to venture into the big world. My first stop is the
Isle of Senna. I do not know what to expect."
Little did he know, indeed.
CD 1: 6 - A Dot On The Horizon
Lev: run! they found me, here they comedon't slow down, they're right behind me now
they're after me, I must be out of town
turn 'round the corner now
into the alley, don't forget the plan
remember where and when
it's either escape or certain death
not much time is left
guards approaching from all sides
with no one there to stop them
nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
step aside, step aside!
too crowded on the streets
the tower comes into sight, and I'm getting near
and the dot on the horizon will be here
blissful like a bird
soaring through the sky
over the rooftops, over the houses
he'll be here, he'll be here
run! I'm at the tower, there's no way out
no way back, rush up the staircase
they're behind me, better not look back
higher and higher, to the top
it all depends on him, without him knowing
there's no way of behind certain
that I won't crash into the ground
when I jump from the tower, dead or safe and sound
there is he! I can see him appear
just like I planned, for they are getting near
no more hesitations, I just know
no more calculations, here I go!
Ezio: what just happened?
Lev: what's the matter?
Ezio: cannot grasp this -
Lev: he's flabbergasted!
just keep moving, just keep going
Ezio: we're to heavy, we're overloaded
(they're) shooting arrows
we're going down and space is narrow
we'll crash in town, we are dying!
Lev: don't be childish, keep on flying
escape the isle and we'll be free, yeah
we'll be free, yeah
looks like we lost them, looks like we made it
Ezio: (you'd) better go off then
Lev: I must stay here
Ezio: I demand an explanation!
Lev: save your questions, keep your patience
Ezio: what your name and who where they?
and was it fate that made me save you?
Lev: there's no time for revelations
let's say I made my calculations
we are free, yeah
we are free, yeah
CD 2: 1 - Beneath The Surface
the storm fell silenthigh up in the air
fly away from the island
to where?
Ezio: I can't explain the fact that he's here
it is more than a mind can bear
how did I find him?
did he know that I'd be there?
Lev: it's all beneath the surface
the space in between
it's all behind the curtain
you've watched but never seen
you stand aside, wondering why
and how it all came to be
on thing is certain:
a worlds awaits, and soon you'll see
sunrise, lovers dancing in the morning light
at the shoreline, as one watches from afar
afraid of the light
brothers
never ever saw one anywhere without the other
yet fate tore them apart when she came into sight
an angel she was, she shone in the moonlight
the brightest of stars, in the darkest night
brothers
to one of which she gave her heart, her all
and he loved her but she didn't know he shared
his soul in this life
the other
didn't understand what life had given him at all
but fate had played it's cards
left behind
Acario: look at him
doesn't know anger or denial
and luck has been on his side all the while
all this time
look at me
what about me? I'm left behind
and trouble's been on my mind all the while
all this time
look at them
so careless and full of pride
they're oblivious to the world
I'm shut outside
look at here
cannot watch, cannot bear the sight
and she doesn't know we are one
he and I, intertwined
torn apart
misguided martyr of the heart
curse it all
one will rise, one will fall
CD 2: 2 - Flight Of Columbo
- instrumental -"Since Lev and I spent a lot of time in the flying
device, decided to give it a name: Columbo.
We continued our journey along the coastline.
We flew over the mountains, past the arch of Ezbor,
which gives shelter to the hanging city of Ezbor underneath,
past the floating city of Emna and a curious little town called Tilliana."
- Ezio
CD 2: 3 - House Behind The Hedge
Ezio: when we were young, when we were childrenwe would walk in the sun
past the old tree and the river
and in the window, there she was
and her eyes I still remember
as she was gazing down on me
how I wished it'd last forever
loveliest of all, was she
suddenly, there was he
the man, he would appear
staring down, down on me
he filled my heart with fear
darkness fell over the house
sent shivers down my spine
sky was black, and filled with clouds
he shut the world outside
past the river and the old tree
heading home, running back again
knowing she was waiting for me
in the house behind the hedge
CD 2: 3 - Trapped In Time
Acario: there's a flame, deep insidegrowing strong, glowing bright
no one there by my side
I'm lost, left behind
I'm condemned, cast aside
on thing left on my mind
I am trapped, trapped in time
there is no wrong or right
if she can't be, can't be mine
my path is clear, clear as light
I have seen and read the signs
no way sack, no way out
soon it is time
she doesn't know me yet but one day soon she will
no reason left to bide my time anymore, no
she doesn't see me yet but one day soon she will
no reason left for me to hide anymore
anymore, anymore, anymore
so it begins
the martyr has been turned against his kin
a bitter fate
within this game each has a part to play
blessed be his heart, blessed be his soul
blessed be his heart, blessed be his soul
CD 2: 4 - The City Of Ark (From Above)
Lev: you asked me a while ago:how do you know the things you know?
today I show you how it's done
'cause it's easier to see from above
within these city walls
I know of two lonely souls
living past each other
today is the day their paths will cross
and each will meet the other
there's mister Robert, on his way to work
always at eight, at seven he returns
there's miss Lucy heading who knows where
following the signs I've put out there
out there
Robert, who is unaware
sees the mob I arranged up ahead
he makes up his mind, and there
he changes his path, as he turns left
and walks into an alley
meanwhile, Lucy is getting near Vince
a known pickpocketteer
his patterns and his ways I know
he grabs her bag and away he goes
he runs off
here comes Robert, back in sight
out of the alley, he's right on time
walks into Vince, who drops his prize
the thief's running off, he's out of sight
as Lucy finds her saviour
CD 2: 5 - One And The Many
Lev: see these people walking aroundthe crowded streets, rat race of man
running in circles, on and on
like mice in a wheel, without end
look closer now and you will see
a pattern appear, it's everywhere
right in front of your eyes
you just need to see
call it a game, a mystery
all we know, but fail to see
fragments of infinity
it's all the same to me
you think you're independent
think you are free, but you're not
you're just a part of the whole
of the machine, part of the plot
you read the lines
but you didn't read in between
just like the lot of mankind
and truth is disguised, unseen
call it a game, a mystery
all we know, but fail to see
fragments of infinity
it's all the same to me
we are one and the many
one in this life
bound to our planet, we long to the sky
we are kindred souls, all intertwined
pieces of a puzzle, born from the light
it's all around, everywhere
it's in all that we see
simple as that
we can't escape it, we are trapped
in a greater scheme
of cause and effect
if one were to read the patterns beyond
he would see, how all interacts
the answers are all around
within your reach
call it a game, a mystery
all we know, but fail to see
fragments of infinity
the hand of a guiding agency
call it meaning, significance
call it chance, coincidence
call it patterns in randomness
inane analysis
call it fate, call it cruelty
or genius ingenuity
call it truth of contingency
a book of all, cosmic symphony
call it structure, call it design
call it fiction, a greater mind
call it grace, call it destiny
call it faith, say it's meant to be
call it love, call it caring hands
call it trust, call it providence
call it science, cause and consequence
call it life, gift of consciousness
we are on and the many
one in this life
bound to our planet, we long to the sky
we are kindred souls, all intertwined
pieces of a puzzle, born from the light
meanwhile, in another part of the city…
Old man: stop that man, I've been robbed
City Guards: which way did he go?
we'll catch him
Old man: he's running off
City Guards: which way?
Old man: I don't know, I can not say
City Guards: he cannot be far
Old man: oh wait! there he goes
City Guards: we're on his trail
Constable Bertolli: he won't get away
that's all that I know
Vince: things went wrong, I've been seen!
get out of my way
and it seems they're coming for me
I think I'd better run for my life
head over heels
Lev: (to Ezio) don't move, stay right here
and wait, all will become clear
very soon you will see
very soon you will see
Vince: it seems I lost them
one look back
one look I'll cast and turn my head
wait, what's that man doing there?
why would anyone just stand there?
so unaware, get away!
it's too late to stop
Vincent runs into Ezio who was waiting on the street, like Lev told him…
CD 2: 6 - The Key
After Vince had bumped into Ezio in the streets, he'd still managed toescape from the City Guards and Constable Bertolli. It seemed Lev's
plan had failed after all.
Lev told Ezio he occasionally used his skills in the service of the City
guards, or other wealthy parties who wished for particular situations or
'incidents' to be arranged. Lev would then analyze certain patterns of chains
of events and somehow manipulate them in such a way that the desired
result was bound to occur. Ezio was still trying to grasp this phenomenon
when Lev revealed yet another part of his grand scheme.
Lev: (to Ezio)and now I tell you why we came to the City of Ark
everything I long for lies within these walls
the crude and old key I hold in my hands
if I'm correct, will lead us to a hidden map
which shows us the way to a tome
The Black Codex, book of the unknown
it's been said it contains the cipher of it all
if that is true, the things you've seen are but the start
unravel the material world
a mystery and truth will be unfurled
…a few days later, while walking through the City Of Ark, Lev
and Ezio encounter the villain Vince once more..
Vince: well well well, if it isn't my good friends
what a delight to meet you again
you almost had me last time, now it's my turn
give me all that you have, I'll spare your lives in return
empty your pockets, it all belongs to me
Lev: take my coins and take this key
CD 2: 7 - Thoughtcrime And Burglary
Acario: my fate has been decidedI've been a puppet from the start
their souls will be devided thus spoke the prophet, they must part
Acario: and so, there is no way back
there is no hope left, just a task:
destroy all that I cherish
thus both must perish
it must be done
evening
as soon as she comes home
her eye falls on the open window
she's scared but there's no one there
overcome by fright, she's weaving
then she finds a piece of paper lying on her pillow
she picks it up, it says:
"meet me at the black cliffs tonight"
meanwhile he arrives at home
to find that the door is open
it seems that there's no one there
he goes inside
it seems like it might have been a thief
but nothing's gone, nothing's broken
he finds a note, it says:
"meet me at the black cliffs tonight"
Ezio: so much for the secret key it's gone
Lev: it's not too late, have no fear
trust me for I know what I have done
there'll be a way, you will see
let's go home
As they arrive at the inn where they are staying:
Ezio: something's wrong
our rooms have been turned upside down
they've searched it all and disappeared
Lev: quick, be quiet, I can hear a sound
I reckon someone's still here
they see three men, dressed in black, searching one of their rooms. As soon as the intruders see Ezio and Lev, they draw their swords and chase them through the rooms. Soon after, Ezio and Lev find themselves cornered with swords pointed at them. Another man, very tall and also dressed in black, appears. He appears to be the leader of the group.
Leader: you two are not going anywhere
(to henchmen) search them both, give me the key
Henchman: they carry nothing it makes no sense
Leader: then kill them both, for we've been seen
Lev: run!
