For What Tomorrow Brings...

Chapter 8: To Proclaim Our Freedom

Main quote: "I have thrown away everything for this moment and now I can tell you the truth I finally see." (Rafael as he throws away both his royal robes and his past away)

For Glory, for Liberty and for Empire!

The song plays through the night.

The miracle enchants all who look upon them...

The two stars that dazzle the night sky.

"The Song of the Heart"

Terra sings the song...and its lines dance around the ballroom, like the people there.

"It seemed like a dream...
It was a miracle
To see someone who ran right in front of me.
Her eyes were like shimmering stars
In that soulful night..."

Rafael continues, silently singing to his sweetheart...
"Woe to me, an exile in search of a father...
Not seeing the beauty before me,
In all things that pass by
It was that moment our hearts raced past each other.
All this time I never knew
But now I know why..."

Sarah begins shedding tears and sings along as Rafael wipes them.

"I ran away...

Far away from the eyes that see only my stain
That dark part of me that will never go away
It hurts so deeply
Having seen for myself
All the world and how it makes you crazy
Then I met you and my night turned to day
Your voice froze the bitterness in me
My eyes can now see real light
And finally I know why..."

Terra sings the chorus as Rafael leads the people to a soulful dance, each pair expressing their love or joy through expressive dancing, just as Rafael gives Sarah a spin, the grace of which brings sparkles to the eyes of the people... Her white dress was like light itself...

"Because you were the dream...

The dream of every single night...

The night of all my days (Rafael)

The sun in all my hopes (Sarah)

You helped me see myself

And I am grateful to you

Grateful to have, to hold, to feel like this every day...

The joy, the pain, the life...in every single moment...

So I beg for your pardon

I lied to you... (Sarah)

I let you go... (Rafael)

But I always loved you so..."

"Weep not, my precious one...

Sweet angel, I never thought this would be so...

Our paths to cross and clash and still be the same...

Your lies wounded me...but it was this experience that formed me...

And now my love for you remains true..."

Sarah was too overwhelmed by emotion but nevertheless, she followed the next verse.

"My own heart...

Was torn between the truth and you...

I kept everything within myself and yet...
