Thatched roof
Bursting in flame
As nightmares run to
The fleeing crowd
Blood flows
Bones snap
The minions of evil slaughter
The innocent ones
War is declared
Light against Dark
Hylian against Moblin
Gerudo against Iron Knuckle
Hyrule unites
To resist the evil
That has come

***

A young man
Takes up his bow
The arrows sharp and new
With bright feathers on the end
He walks away to fight the evil
A mother waits alone
Weeping
Waiting for her son
Waiting for him to come walking back

***

An older man
Sharpens a sword
Kisses a wife
Embraces a child
He walks away to destroy the evil
A child waits alone
Weeping
Waiting for her father
Waiting for him to come walking back

***

A young boy
Polishes the stones
Plays his flute
Takes up the blade
He walks away to stop the evil
A Princess waits alone
Weeping
Waiting for the Hero
Waiting for him to come walking back

***
Arrows fly
The son fires them
The monster fires them
One strikes
Son falls
Evil continues
The mother's wait is over
The son lays lifeless in her arms

***

The clang of metal on metal
Rings
As the father swings his sword
The monster swings his sword
One plunges
Father falls
Evil continues
The child's wait is over
The Father lays lifeless in her arms

***

Blows fire back and forth
As the hero swings his blade
The monster swings his blade
One slices
Monster falls
Evil ends
The Princesses wait is over
The Hero takes her in his arms
