~Lyrics~

A long time ago this legend was told,
Of a noble king and his three heroes
United they swore, that by the dusk of this war
That evil will reign here no more

No one could know, that this king of gold
Whom they followed with their hearts and their swords
This sovereign they knew, who’d bravely led them through
Bore a visage that was not quite true

Revived from a youthful grave in a form made of mud, this king now awake
Today he marches out onto a battlefield, all for humanity’s sake

A king born out of mud, striving for success
With his comrades in arms he plays fates game of chess
He not fighting to be loved, everyone can see
His strength comes from the love he bears as their king

Even if the entire world was trapped in evils snare
And all of his people were lost to despair
Even if his body fails, and no longer holds a sword
If it erodes to the mud from which he was restored

He will find the strength to go on
To make sure justice sees a new dawn

(Text Narration)
When a single black rollam bird discovered the destroyed remains of the royal carriage at the base of a forest cliff, he conceived of a cruel prank…
For all was not as it appeared, the bird’s true identity was Lich, the wicked forest spirit
He took the soul of the dead prince and placed it into a doll he formed out of mud…
As the only living heir to the throne, the mud prince was crowned king and soon began his quest to unite all the regions of the land once and for all.
But in the process, he performed a miracle that even Lich hadn’t thought possible…

Even when you no longer bleed, and the light of the sun no longer reaches your eyes
I will remain here forevermore, by your side
A noble lady spoke these words to him before the gods
And the two were joined together through undying love

And through the love that burned in their hearts
A miracle came
So today he marches onto the battlefield,
Now his legacy’s sake

A king born out of mud, striving for success
With his comrades in arms he plays fates game of chess
He not fighting to be loved, everyone can see
He bears the love of a father and the strength of a king

Even if the entire world was trapped in evils snare
And all of his people were lost to despair
Even if his body fails, and no longer holds a sword
If it erodes to the mud from which he was restored

He will find the strength to go on
And his kingdom will see a new dawn
