Await The Champion
Crescent Shield Lyrics

Chosen, equal, last two shadows
Two equally matched fighters have been chosen to battle to the death, their shadows being the last to remain.

Challenge, both heed the call
Both fighters have accepted the challenge and are ready to battle.

Strength and knowledge, calm and patient
The fighters possess strength and knowledge, while also remaining calm and patient throughout the battle.

Arena, both watched by all
The battle takes place in an arena, and is watched by a crowd of spectators.

I've been here waiting for all time
One of the fighters has been waiting for this moment for their entire life.

To find my adversary
They have been waiting to find their equal in battle.

Will this be the last day that I'll see
They wonder if this battle will be their last day alive.

Or the first to live forever
Or if it will be the start of their eternal glory.

We will...
The two fighters are about to begin the battle.

FEEL the force and might
The force and power of the fighters will be felt.

Uncertain eyes await the champion
The crowd is unsure of who will win the battle and become the champion.

One will rise above... one will fall
Only one fighter will emerge victorious while the other will die.

HAIL! the victor's right
The victorious fighter's glory is hailed.

Gather round to crown the champion
The crowd gathers to celebrate and crown the champion.

KNEEL! the winners name
The champion's name is spoken with reverence as the crowd kneels.

Weapons chosen, clash with steel force
The fighters begin their battle using their chosen weapons, with the sound of impact ringing out as they clash.

Wounded, both blood does fall
Both fighters are wounded and bleeding.

Careful, cunning, skill so well taught
Both fighters are careful, cunning, and skilled in their fighting techniques.

Stalemate, both will not draw
Neither fighter is willing to back down or draw the battle.

I feel the power of my enemy
One of the fighters feels the strength and power of their opponent.

At last my adversary
They have finally found the opponent that will prove to be their equal.

So I will live forever
They believe that if they emerge victorious, their glory will last for eternity.

They will...
The fight continues with both fighters refusing to back down.

Such new found glory
The fighter feels a new sense of glory and purpose in their victory.

I'll fight to feel alive
They will continue to fight in order to feel alive and victorious.

The reaper also awaits
They acknowledge that death is always a possibility in battle.

Even he does not know who will die
They believe that even death itself does not always know the outcome of the battle.

[Solo]
An instrumental solo plays during a break in the battle.

Raise the fallen body from the ground
Once the battle is over, the body of the fallen fighter is raised from the ground.

Remember his name with honor
The defeated fighter's name is remembered with honor and respect.

Not lost but not won in the end
The battle did not have a clear winner or loser in the end.

Respect I'll feel forever
There is a sense of respect and honor felt towards both fighters, regardless of the outcome.

Now we...
The battle is over and there is a sense of finality.

KNOW the force and might
The audience and fighters are now keenly aware of the force and power that was displayed during the battle.

Certain eyes await the champion
The crowd anxiously awaits the announcement of the victorious champion.

One did rise above... one did fall
The champion has emerged victorious while the defeated fighter has fallen.

HAIL! the victor's mine
The victorious champion's glory is celebrated and praised.

Gather round to crown the champion
The crowd once again gathers to celebrate and crown the champion.

KNEEL! for my own name
The victorious champion's own name is spoken with reverence as the crowd kneels.

Will stand tall
The victorious champion's name will forever stand tall in the annals of history.
