The natives organise a welcoming feast.David feels that they have something that he has lost - some sense of hope for the future.He knows too much to regain his own innocence,but cannot help but envy the islanders,especially the young Anela and a young woman,Kohia.She is one of the dancers and captures everyone's eye with her grace.John's reaction is callous and calculating. |
|
He is the lonely lord of demise |
|
And knows what he wants |
|
He is the one you shun for a cause |
|
He feels no remorse |
|
Preying on everything that he sees |
|
He'll tear apart this tribe |
|
Now as his eyes are fixed on the lonely |
|
Maiden of this isle |
|
David: "I don't want to witness one more end |
|
I see in her and angel, a heavenly friend |
|
And that youth there? I was once like him |
|
I see in his eyes the fear of a soldier's whim" |
|
Anela: "she has my lonely heart |
|
She's bright like the morning star |
|
She makes my soul lighter than air" |
|
Oh, the pain and the greed |
|
The loss you won't believe |
|
The island is the heart of you and me |
|
The world will be ablaze |
|
And we're trapped in its maze |
|
What is the point to live and die |
|
If we knew we're living a lie? |
|
David: "I see her moving |
|
Round the pyre gracefully |
|
Like an ancient goddess beckoning me... |
|
I'd trade my life and my soul |
|
I'd give her all that I know |
|
She makes my heart shimmer and glow" |
|
Oh, the pain and the greed |
|
The loss you won't believe |
|
The island is the heart of you and me |
|
The world will be ablaze |
|
And we're trapped in its maze |
|
What is the point to live and die |
|
If we knew we're living a lie? |
|
John: "And oh yes, I see something... |
|
I'll take this heart |
|
In a flash of a shooting star |
|
There is no love greater than mine" |
|
Oh, the pain and the greed |
|
The loss you won't believe |
|
The island is the heart of you and me |
|
The world will be ablaze |
|
And we're trapped in its maze |
|
What is the point to live and die |
|
If we knew we're living a lie? |
