Every would-be Hero longs for the heroic struggle, the epic combat against the Lord of Dark that they hope will immortalize them as a champion of the people. But what happens when the struggle is lost? ...could it be that the heroic struggle ultimately only births villains? What happens if, in the pursuit of immortality, one learns that only hatred will accompany you as immortal companion in all times and places?

This cover story has 2 components: song lyrics (which are written below), and a prequel cover story. The song lyrics do not spoil the game, but the prequel cover story does spoil the late game for Live a Live. If you are worried about spoilers, DO NOT TURN ON CAPTIONS.

However, please be aware that the story and lyrics should go together. If you already are familiar with the game Live a Live or are not worried about spoilers, turn on captions to read the prequel story FIRST, then listen to the lyrics SECOND as a continuation of the story.

Let me know in the comments if you like this combination!!!

Lyrics:

From dawn to dusk, beset from every side
The struggle never ends -- our foe immortalized
How can we face him -- our hearts in turmoil?
Our hatred aids and abets his retinue!

Hero!
I won't let go!
Donec coronatus es Domine Odium

The Lord of Dark /(just a humble servant!)
Is there within my mind /(I have always been there)
No matter what I do
We are both intertwined /(cuz I am part of you)

How can I face him -- my heart in turmoil? /(look within yourself!)
His embrace gives me the strength to continue!

Hero!
My vessel, let's go!
et odium nostrum nascatur in mundum.
